SWOT Analysis

About

A SWOT Analysis helps you understand your organization’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. It’s a simple way to see what you’re doing well, where you can improve, and what external factors might affect your success.

How to Use the Template

1. Brainstorm: Add sticky notes to each quadrant with ideas relevant to that section.

2. Connect Ideas: Draw lines between strengths and opportunities (or threats) to see how they relate. For example, link a strength to a threat if it can help you counteract it.

3. Prioritize: Once you’ve filled out each section, identify the most important points in each quadrant.

4. Create an Action Plan: Use the insights to develop strategies that:

   • Use strengths to capitalize on opportunities.

   • Address weaknesses to minimize threats.

Use this template to guide discussions, find growth opportunities, and plan for challenges. It’s a quick, clear way to set a strategy that plays to your strengths and tackles your weaknesses.
