Who was Albert S. Humphrey?
Albert S. Humphrey was an American business and management consultant who specialized in organizational management and cultural change. Initially earning degrees in chemical engineering in Illinois, he eventually moved to London.
Some people claim that Humphrey devised the SWOT analysis technique while working for the Stanford Research Institute, now known as SRI International. but it is clear from his 2005 paper that he is not the originator of SWOT, and he disputes it was Harvard or MIT either. SWOT is a strategic planning method used to evaluate the Strengths, Weaknesses/Limitations, Opportunities, and Threats involved in a project or in a business venture. The origin of the term SWOT remains obscure.
