SWOT analysis is a framework for identifying and analyzing an organization's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. These words make up the SWOT acronym
Knowing what your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats are puts you in a powerful position for action. The SWOT analysis is not action in itself, but it's a useful tool that helps you set goals, create a detailed career plan and act on it.
Firstly, you need to take time for yourself and sit down with a laptop (or with a pen and a paper if you prefer the good old method). Secondly, brainstorm with yourself to build a list of your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats and write it down in each quadrant. After you complete it, take your time to re-read them and start to eliminate the points that are not important. And last, give yourself a pat on the back because you've done what it is hard to do –self analyzation.
Home Depot conducted a SWOT analysis, creating a balanced list of its internal advantages and disadvantages and external factors threatening its market position and growth strategy. High-quality customer service, strong brand recognition, and positive relationships with suppliers were some of its notable strengths; whereas, a constricted supply chain, interdependence on the U.S. market, and a replicable business model were listed as its weaknesses.
Closely related to its weaknesses, Home Depot's threats were the presence of close rivals, available substitutes, and the condition of the U.S. market. It found from this study and other analysis that expanding its supply chain and global footprint would be key to its growth.
