This tool contains two sample documents that provide questions organizations should consider when analyzing their strengths (S), weaknesses (W), opportunities (O) and threats (T).

Examining your strengths and weaknesses encourages you to take stock of your present situation, so you can identify the internal resources, skills, talents and capabilities that you have in your organization, as well as an honest assessment of those you lack. Examining your opportunities and threats encourages you to be precise about your future, identifying the external areas in which your business or project can excel and the potential challenges and barriers you may face.
