What do you do better than anybody else? What do people praise you for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To identify your Strengths, spend some time thinking about what you\u2019ve done well, what tasks were well within your comfort zone, and any times that you\u2019ve exceeded expectations, or achieved fantastic results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A SWOT matrix could be conducted during recruitment to help identify the strengths of candidates, and directly compare them effectively. Or use a SWOT analysis template to understand how internal and external factors impact your brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Weaknesses<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Next you identify the areas that need improvement. Think about things you find difficult to achieve, times you\u2019ve struggled to meet expectations, and areas that you don\u2019t feel confident in. Look back at your Strengths list and think about the inverse when filling out your SWOT template.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weaknesses should always be things you have control over, and things that you can put steps in place to improve upon. You could use a SWOT to help analyze your brand, and understand why your customers chose your competitors over you, or if there are any services you are not currently providing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Opportunities<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving onto the \u201cO\u201d in our SWOT. Opportunities are areas that your business could take advantage of. When conducting a SWOT for internal company analysis, is there an unserved or underserved market that you could grow into? Are you maximizing your media coverage? Could you change or develop products to better serve a wider audience? What external factors work to your benefit in filling market gaps?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you look at SWOT Opportunities examples, you will find the importance of also looking back at your Strengths and Weaknesses lists. You should include any weaknesses that could be turned into a strength as an opportunity in your SWOT analysis template.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Threats<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, threats are potential or upcoming obstacles that you should be wary of. They include emerging competitors, changes in the market, things that would negatively affect your business. Most commonly, you will not have any control over your threats but it\u2019s still important to be aware of them so that you can develop contingency plans.

Often, you either go too big and list \u201cimpossible to fix\u201d problems, or think small and spend your time and energy focusing on things that are overall insignificant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You also need to consider internal factors like team size that may be changing. Deciding on your SWOT analysis questions can take as much time as conducting the SWOT analysis itself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to&nbsp;<strong>decide on an overall goal or objective<\/strong>&nbsp;that you want your SWOT template to help you achieve. This could be more sales, bigger growth, better brand recognition, improved team collaboration, a prestigious award or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re creating a personal SWOT analysis template, you can pick a goal you\u2019re working towards such as a promotion, or an award, and identify your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in relation to that goal. In personal SWOT analysis examples like this, you can give yourself a time period, such as the last year, to review.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/templates\/presentations\/vibrant-b2c-consulting-presentation-7e5ec63d-e5b9-4a9f-8167-db780b72cc9d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1229\" height=\"694\" src=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Vibrant-B2C-Consulting-Presentation-Template.png\" alt=\"Vibrant B2C Consulting Presentation Template\" class=\"wp-image-54924\" srcset=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Vibrant-B2C-Consulting-Presentation-Template.png 1229w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Vibrant-B2C-Consulting-Presentation-Template-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Vibrant-B2C-Consulting-Presentation-Template-1024x578.png 1024w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Vibrant-B2C-Consulting-Presentation-Template-768x434.png 768w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Vibrant-B2C-Consulting-Presentation-Template-730x412.png 730w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1229px) 100vw, 1229px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<center><a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/templates\/presentations\/vibrant-b2c-consulting-presentation-7e5ec63d-e5b9-4a9f-8167-db780b72cc9d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n<button class=\"btn-cta\"><b>CREATE THIS PROPOSAL TEMPLATE<\/b><\/button><\/a><\/center>&nbsp;\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have decided on a goal, you can start to think about SWOT analysis questions that are related to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Your customers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/blog\/competitor-analysis-template\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Your competitors<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your market share<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Business growth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Availability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Price point<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Online following<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customer retention<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Budget restrictions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Suppliers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Company culture<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reputation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is by no means a complete list of topics to evaluate, and you should add your own ideas, but it\u2019s a good starting point for effective evaluation.

This gives you a holistic view of all business activities and helps your optimize your overall business strategy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Try and keep the lists an even number<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have 5 strengths, find 5 weaknesses. For every opportunity, try and write down a threat. This makes it easier to compare the categories in your SWOT template.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Have a goal in mind when doing your SWOT analysis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you are developing a new <a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/blog\/project-plan-template\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">project plan<\/a>, launching a new business product, or scaling your revenue, follow a clear goal for SWOT analysis. For example, if you are doing a SWOT analysis for launching a new product, your goal could be &#8216;Assess internal capabilities and external market factors to ensure a successful product launch.&#8217; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This ensures better focus and clarity, ensuring you get specific insights from the analysis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start small<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re customizing your SWOT analysis template, start with much longer lists gathered in a brainstorming session and reduce it to specific factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk about each factor in a category and figure out which ones matter the most to have your SWOT analysis focusing on the most important stuff. Methods like voting or group agreement typically work in this type of setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Format your SWOT in a way that makes sense for multiple uses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure your SWOT analysis is clear and presented in a way that makes it easy to take in all of the information at once, such as a 2\u00d72 grid template. If it\u2019s for a company presentation, use a horizontal SWOT analysis template for PowerPoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Think short, mid and long term impacts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your product might be great now, but what could be happening in the next 6 months that might affect that? What about within the next year? Sure that competitor could be small fish now, but what about if they have an aggressive growth plan in place? You need to be prepared for that to stay ahead of the game, and that\u2019s where a SWOT analysis template comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use clever design tricks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Use color in your SWOT matrix to help grab attention. Differentiate different areas of your SWOT, as this SWOT analysis template does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Are you ready to create your SWOT analysis?<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A SWOT analysis is an invaluable evaluation tool, particularly for small businesses or during times of change.
