Given that the goal of the SDLT is to assess the readiness of a candidate to be an EB
member, this part is designed to assist them in their candidacy specifically as an EB
member.
With that, the part that requires the most aid in terms of their application is the SWOT as
it evaluates their diagnosis of the organization and aids them in terms of where their
direction should be considering the events of the year and historical basis.
Part 1 of the SDLT will require the candidate to form a SWOT analysis of the organization
using 6 different data sources:
1. Member’s perspective (at least 1 non-retained member and 1 retained member, if
possible)
2. Force’s perspective
3. AVP’s perspective (specific to your chosen department)
4. Project Head’s perspective
5. VP’s perspective (specific to your chosen department)
6. Any other EB member’s perspective
It is required that this comes in the form of at least 1 IC per data source. You may use
alternative data sources assuming that they are available (i.e. market studies, project
data, previous platforms, etc.) Ensure that you take into account the perspectives of all
AJMAs, not just those who are active. It must be clear how each stakeholder is used in the
SWOT analysis.
Remember: You can do the bare minimum but this will reflect in your score.
The SWOT will be judged on the criteria of:
a. Mastery of the organization/department (25%) - how much the SWOT aligns with
the current state of the organization as perceived by the Executive Board
b. Impact and Feasibility (25%) - how usable the SWOT is in terms of actionability
(e.g. Cliquishness is a weakness, but are there clear and discernable strategies
that can permanently change it in the context of a year?)
c. Stakeholder Management (30%) - how clear the perspective of each stakeholder is
in the actual SWOT matrix
d. Presentation (20%) - how clear the method and manner of presenting the SWOT
was, concerned with brevity and isolating each factor (no duplicates)
This part of the SDLT lasts 15 minutes, 10 minutes for the presentation of the SWOT, and 5
minutes for Q&A.
SDLT PART 2
Given that the traditional goal of the SDLT is to assess the readiness of a candidate to be

companies and the trend of these companies partnering up with student organizations

growing concern of losing our value. Make sure to include concrete ways to execute your
proposed benefits and determine the members needed to execute the tasks for its
completion. You must also consider its impact to the internal and external stakeholders.
