Table 29. TOWS strategic implications
|
Strategy |
Action |
|
SO (strengths – opportunities) |
Use the recurring model and integration to win estate, body-corporate and property-manager contracts and cross-sell irrigation and water-wise work. |
|
WO (weaknesses – opportunities) |
Counter labour and seasonality risk by building commercial contracts and counter-seasonal project work, and by investing in training and retention. |
|
ST (strengths – threats) |
Deploy route density and reliability to out-compete informal operators on value; use recurring contracts to insulate against downturns. |
|
WT (weaknesses – threats) |
Mitigate equipment and theft exposure through preventive maintenance, spares and security; hedge fuel through routing discipline. |
