SWOT: Description
• A SWOT analysis generates information that
  is helpful in matching an organization or
  group’s goals, programs, and capacities to
  the social environment in which it operates.
• Factors internal to the firm usually can be
  classified as strengths (S) or weaknesses
  (W), and those external to the firm can be
  classified as opportunities (O) or threats (T).
• It is an instrument within strategic planning.
• When combined with dialogue it is a
  participatory process
SWOT: Internal Factors
• Strengths
    Positive tangible and intangible attributes,
    internal to an organization. They are within the
    organization’s control.
• Weakness
    Factors that are within an organization’s control
    that detract from its ability to attain the core
    goal. Which areas might the organization
    improve?
SWOT: External Factors
• Opportunities
  – External attractive factors that represent the reason for an
    organization to exist and develop. What opportunities exist
    in the environment, which will propel the organization?
  – Identify them by their “time frames”
• Threats
  – External factors, beyond an organization’s control, which
    could place the organization mission or operation at risk.
    The organization may benefit by having contingency plans
    to address them if they should occur.
  – Classify them by their “seriousness” and “probability of
    occurrence”.
                                          Back to Design
Simple Rules for SWOT Analysis
• Be realistic about the strengths and weaknesses of
  your organization or group.
• Distinguish between where your organization is
  today, and where it could be in the future
• Be specific: Avoid gray areas.
• Always analyze in relation to your core mission.
• Keep your SWOT short and simple. Avoid
  complexity and over analysis
• Empower SWOT with a logical conceptual
  framework.
SWOT for a Peasant Coop
• Strengths
   – The peasants who have organized the cooperative are relative
     young and with a strong awareness of social justice.
   – They have participated in an agro-ecological planning workshop.
   – They control agricultural lands with irrigation
   – Both men and women are active participants
   – Local school teachers are members of the organization.
• Weakness
   –   Lack marketing expertise in cities.
   –   Lack access to credit
   –   Depend on intermediaries for transportation
   –   poor quality control of produce
SWOT for a Peasant Coop
• Opportunities
   – Modern farm-market facilities have been developed in three
     towns.
   – An NGO has organized a system of small credits for women.
   – The county is building a secondary road between the coop location
     and the main highway.
• Threats:
   – A large food retailer is contracting with local peasants.
   – Transportation intermediaries have access to local government
     officers.
   – Some peasants are selling their land to developers and out
     migrating to large cities.
Caution!
• SWOT analysis can be very subjective. Do
  not rely on it too much. Two people rarely
  come-up with the same final version of
  SWOT.
• Use it as guide and not a prescription.
