The Concept


The SWOT Analysis, also known as SWOT Matrix, is a technique designed to help organizations identify their Strengths and Weaknesses and based on those, its Opportunities and Threats.

It is intended to be applied to early stage discussions about new business goals or endeavors, as a it helps to bring up what may contribute to the success or failure of the initiative and if properly done can help identify new opportunities and mitigate risks that might otherwise have gone entirely unnoticed.
