What makes SWOT particularly powerful is that, with a little thought, it can help you
uncover opportunities that you are well-placed to exploit. And by understanding the
weaknesses of your business, you can manage and eliminate threats that would otherwise
catch you unawares.
More than this, by looking at yourself and your competitors using the SWOT
framework, you can start to craft a strategy that helps you distinguish yourself
from your competitors, so that you can compete successfully in your market.
