Strengths and Weaknesses are internal factors, while Opportunities and Threats are external factors that can have an effect on you, your organizational unit and or your projects. History While it is not known exactly who developed the first SWOT analysis it is believed that many different professors in the East coast of the USA are responsible for developing the way that we look at it now. When to use SWOT Analysis is a simple but useful framework for analyzing the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats that you face in your organization especially when

This plan can help you focus on main strengths and leverage them to pursue key opportunities and to avoid threats . The team can also become aware of its weaknesses which might need to be overcome in order to take the greatest possible advantage of potential opportunities available to you. How to use The SWOT chart to the right is a useful tool for everyone including team members and managers. When developing your personal SWOT chart look and think in-depth about how each area effects your department and even you personally. Share the chart with colleagues in order to get feedback and different suggestions until the chart is full with thoughts. This will then enable you to refine it and, ultimately, implement it into your organization and/or project. When developing your own personal SWOT chart, ask several interrogative questions similar to the examples provided below for each of the four areas of a SWOT. Strengths: How can I leverage them to benefit my goals? What are my/ our advantages? What do we/ I do better than others? What makes me/ my organization/ department unique? What makes our project unique? What low-cost resources can be utilized?

What factors are seen as weaknesses in your area? What necessary expertise/ skills do we currently lack? Opportunities: What could be utilized better while aiming to eliminate current weaknesses and/ or threats? Where are the good opportunities and what are they? Are there currently any trends in your field that we can build on or include? Are there any potential opportunities you know of but are unable to capitalize on due to lack of resources? How could you overcome them and use them to your advantage? Potential opportunities can come from many things, such as: Changes in technology Adjustments in local or governmental policies Alterations in social patterns, population profiles, lifestyle changes, etc. You are not a member of this wiki.
