Report

The 8-square SWOT template expands upon the traditional 4-square template by moving the prior four squares to the outside of four new squares. The four prior squares are then compared against one another to develop ideas and recommendations for your business and/or product(s). For example, a strength your business has may relate to a threat you want to address, so you can write down an idea for improving your business or product(s) in the square where these two intersect.

When you’re developing a business strategy, it can be hard to figure out what to focus on. A SWOT analysis helps you hone in on key factors. SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. Strengths and weaknesses are internal factors, like your employees, intellectual property, marketing strategy, and location. Opportunities and threats are usually external factors, like market fluctuations, competition, prices of raw materials, and consumer trends. Conduct a SWOT analysis whenever you want to explore opportunities for new businesses and products, decide the best way to launch a product, unlock your company’s potential, or use your strengths to develop opportunities.
