SHOT ANALYSIS

TECHNIQUE, WHICH
OPERATES BY 'PEELING BACK
LAYERS OF THE COMPANY‘ IS
DESIGNED FOR USE IN THE
PRELIMINARY STAGES OF
DECISION-MAKING
PROCESSES

Users of a SWOT analysis often


ask and answer questions to
generate meaningful
information for each category to
make the tool useful and
identify their competitive
advantage. SWOT has been
described as the tried-and-true
tool of strategic analysis.
THE ELEMENT
OF SWOT
ANALYSIS

SWOT analyses can be applied to an


entire company or organization, or
individual projects within a single
department. Most commonly, SWOT
analyses are used at the organizational
level to determine how closely a business
is aligned with its growth trajectories and
success benchmarks
Let’s take our first element, Strengths, for example. To
determine what your strengths are as an organization,
you could begin by asking some of the following
questions:
What do your customers love about your company or
product(s)?
What does your company do better than other companies
in your industry?
What are your most positive brand attributes?
What’s your unique selling proposition?
What resources do you have at your disposal that your
competitors do not?
By answering these questions, you’ll be in great shape to
start identifying and listing your organization’s strengths.
We can use the same principle to determine your
company’s weaknesses:

 What do your customers dislike about your


company or product(s)?
 What problems or complaints are often
mentioned in your negative reviews?
 Why do your customers cancel or churn?
 What could your company do better?
 What are your most negative brand attributes?
 What are the biggest obstacles/challenges in your
current sales funnel?
 What resources do your competitors have that
you do not?
You may find that determining the strengths and
weaknesses of your organization or project is
considerably easier or takes less time than figuring ou
the opportunities and threats facing your company.
This is because, as we said earlier, these are internal
factors. External factors, on the other hand, may
require more effort and rely upon more data, as these
are often beyond your immediate sphere of influence
Conclusion :Identifying opportunities and threats may require you to conduct in-depth competitive intelligence research about
what your competitors are up to, or the examination of wider economic or business trends that could have an impact on your
company. That’s not to say that opportunities and threats cannot be internal, however; you may discover opportunities and threats
based solely on the strengths and weaknesses of your company.
Some possible questions you could ask to identify potential opportunities might include:
 How can we improve our sales/customer on boarding/customer support processes?
 What kind of messaging resonates with our customers?
 How can we further engage our most vocal brand advocates?
 Are we allocating departmental resources effectively?
 Is there budget, tools, or other resources that we’re not leveraging to full capacity?
 Which advertising channels exceeded our expectations – and why?
When it comes to threats, you could certainly begin by asking a series of questions like those above. However, it’s often quite easy
to come up with a list of potential threats facing your business or project without posing questions beforehand. This could include
“branded” threats such as emerging or established competitors, broader threats such as changing regulatory environments and
market volatility, or even internal threats such as high staff turnover that could threaten or derail current growth.
