Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats – the pillars of the renowned SWOT analysis. You might think it’s ancient history, but this method remains a contemporary best practice in risk management, endorsed by the International Risk Management Standard.
SWOT is your compass for navigating internal and external landscapes:
- Internal Factors: Strengths (what you excel at) and Weaknesses (areas for improvement) lie within your organization.
- External Factors: Opportunities (potential advantages) and Threats (potential risks) lurk outside.
This simple framework guides action:
- Strengths: Build upon them to maximize your competitive edge.
- Weaknesses: Address them to mitigate vulnerabilities.
- Opportunities: Seize them to drive growth and innovation.
- Threats: Develop strategies to counteract or minimize their impact.
SWOT isn’t just about identification; it’s a springboard for action. The information you gather empowers you to evaluate and treat risks effectively, ensuring informed decision-making. And remember, always document the process to track your progress and insights.
