  5. SWOT: Internal Factors • Strengths • Positive tangible and intangible attributes, internal to an organization. • They are within the organization’s control.

  6. Strengths • What do you do particularly well? • What do you do that is unique in the “marketplace?” • What do your customers/clients/patrons ask for you to do over and over again? • What do you have the right tools/resources to accomplish?

  7. Weaknesses • Weaknesses • Factors that are within an organization’s control that detract from its ability to attain the core goal. • Which areas might the organization improve?

  8. 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”

  9. Opportunities • Are there new situations coming down the road that you can take advantage of (new programs being offered, new faculty joining the department, new tools available to you)? • Are there gaps in the “market” that you can fill? • Are there partnerships that might be fruitful?

  10. SWOT: External Factors 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”.

  11. Threats • Who is your competition and what do they offer that you can’t do as well or at all? • Are there “environmental” changes or situations that could cause problems for you and your programs? • What other roadblocks are being thrown in your path?

  12. Simple Rules 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.

  13. Simple Rules SWOT Analysis • Always analyze in relation to your core values, mission, mandate, goals, vision. • Keep your SWOT short and simple. • Avoid complexity and over analysis • Empower SWOT with a logical conceptual framework.
