This SWOT analysis is a strategic planning tool used to assess the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the Air Methods Corporation business.
When creating this SWOT the team at Platform Executive have taken into consideration the corporate strategy; brand; key financials; the competitive landscape; along with the products and/or services offered.
To offer increased context for future innovation and product development we also consider the historical context for the business and industry; and perceived direction of travel.

The MOST analysis framework is commonly used to identify an organisation's strategic goals, assess its strengths and weaknesses, and develop a plan to achieve its objectives. This analysis helps organisations to focus on what they want to achieve and how to achieve it, while also identifying potential roadblocks or obstacles that may arise along the way.
We have created this analysis from a 3rd person perspective.
As part of our research and analysis activity, the team at Platform Executive assesses and then benchmarks businesses and the industry verticals in which they operate using a proprietary scoring mechanism.
First, we allocate a score of A-E for the industry vertical, gauged on the key organisations operating within the space; and then score the individual business using a 1-5 score.
A score of D-E within an industry means that it is potentially ripe to be disrupted by a new entrant into the marketplace; and/or vulnerable to technological change.
Likewise, a high score of 4-5 for the company in question indicates that in the view of the analysis team it lags behind notable businesses in terms of innovation and product pipeline.
Below is a guide to each score:
Industry score:
| A | The industry is amongst the most innovative; with the leading
players all driving the sector forward. Example industry: PaaS |
| B | The industry and its leading players have a good track record of
innovation; and can quickly react to change. Example industry: Pharmaceutical |
| C | Companies operating within the sector have adequate levels of
innovation; and engage in R&D activities when appropriate. Example industry: FMCG |
| D | Businesses operating in the industry
do not invest enough time and resource into innovation. The sector is
stagnant and a good candidate for disruption. Example industry: Retail Banking |
| E | The major players in the sector seem to lack suitable product
development roadmaps; and as a result the sector is highly vulnerable to
industry change. Example industry: Publishing |
Company score:
| 1 | The business is amongst the leading players in terms innovation and product pipeline. This will fulfil and reinforce the operations of the business in the medium to long-term. |
| 2 | The business has a good track record of innovation, in terms of its products and/or its business model. It is therefore more likely to be able to react and adapt to any changes to the industry. |
| 3 | The business is deemed to have an adequate innovation plan, build on research and development and sustainability where appropriate. The business has a product development strategy. |
| 4 | The business needs to invest more resource and/or intellectual capital in product development, pipelines and/or its business model. The business is at risk of stagnation. |
| 5 | The business seems to lack a suitable product development roadmap; and as a result is vulnerable to any notable industry change and/or new entrants in the marketplace. |
