How the SWOT Framework Works
SWOT analysis organizes strategic factors into four areas:
- Strengths – internal advantages, capabilities or positive factors
- Weaknesses – internal limitations or areas for improvement
- Opportunities – external developments or conditions that may create potential
- Threats – external risks or developments that may negatively affect your objectives
The template helps you capture these factors consistently and prioritize the most relevant insights for further discussion and decision-making.
