Threats – external
environment (factors
tend to be in the future)
Strategic planning, brainstorming
and decision making

analysis if you conduct it with a specific
objective or question in mind. For
example, deciding on how you should:
– take advantage of a new business opportunity
– respond to new trends

– deal with changes to your competitors'
operations
Building on Strengths

identify areas of the business that are
performing well. These areas are your
critical success factors and they give your
business its competitive advantage.
• Identifying these strengths also enables
the organisation to grow and involves
finding ways of using and building on
these strengths.
Minimise weaknesses

characteristics that put an
organisation at a disadvantage to
others. Conducting a SWOT
analysis can help you identify
these characteristics and
minimise and manage them
adequately
Seizing opportunities

opportunities that the organisation could
take advantage of to make greater profits.
Opportunities are created by external
factors, such as new consumer trends and
changes in the market.
Counteracting threats

cause problems for an organisation, such
as changes to the market, a competitor's
new advertising campaign, or new
government policy. A SWOT analysis can
help identify threats and ways to
counteract them, depending on your
strengths and weaknesses
