SWOT Analysis
Firstly, our objectives must be clear.
If a clear objectives have been identified, SWOT analysis can
be used to help in the pursuit of those objectives. In this case,
SWOTs are:
Strengths: attributes of the organization that are
helpful to achieving the objective.
Weaknesses: attributes of the organization that
are harmful to achieving the objective.
Opportunities: external conditions that are
helpful to achieving the objective.
Threats: external conditions that are harmful to
achieving the objective.

Avoiding Errors
Conducting a SWOT analysis before defining and
agreeing upon an objective (a desired end state).
SWOTs should not exist in the abstract. They can
exist only with reference to an objective. If the
desired end state is not openly defined and
agreed upon, the participants may have different
end states in mind and the results will be
ineffective.

Avoiding Errors
Opportunities external to the company are often
confused with strengths internal to the company. They
should be kept separate.
SWOTs are sometimes confused with possible
strategies. SWOTs are descriptions of conditions,
while possible strategies define actions. This error is
made especially with reference to opportunity
analysis. To avoid this error, it may be useful to think
of opportunities as "auspicious conditions".
Minaret College
Creative Use of SWOTs:
Generating Strategies
If, on the other hand, the objective seems attainable,
the SWOTs are used as inputs to the creative
generation of possible strategies, by asking and
answering each of the following four questions, many
times:
1.
2.
3.
4.
How can we Use each Strength?
How can we Stop each Weakness?
How can we Exploit each Opportunity?
How can we Defend against each Threat?
