SWOT Analysis

Popular analysis technique that helps users look at Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats facing a team or business.

SWOT Analysis: What Factors Affect Your Business?

The SWOT analysis is one of the most well-know frameworks for assessing the internal and external factors that impact a business โ€“ namely the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. By evaluating these factors, businesses can gain insight into their current position and develop strategies for future success.

How to Complete the SWOT Analysis

Completing the SWOT exercise involves four key steps:

  1. Strengths: Identify the internal factors that give your business an advantage over its competitors. This could include skilled employees, a strong brand, or proprietary technology.

  4. Threats: Identify the external factors that could negatively impact your business, such as new competitors, changes in regulations, or economic downturns.
