Create SWOT Matrix Instantly

With Edraw's ready-made SWOT Matrix shapes and templates, you can easily create a nice-looking SWOT matrix.

Before mapping out the SWOT matrix, you need to know how to conduct SWOT analysis effectively. Here are some useful tips on how to do SWOT analysis.

1. Keep your SWOT analysis concise and clear. Include only the related and necessary details.
2. Consult others for feedback on your business for your SWOT analysis. Ask for input from your employees, suppliers, customers as well as partners.
3. Do the analysis from both macro and microcosmic perspectives. Begin with a specific issue, such as an objective or a problem.
4. Analyze your entire business by dividing it into specific smaller issues which are more manageable and then combine them.
5. Think about your current situation and envision your future prospect. Find out the distance between present reality and future goals.
6. Compare your companies with your competitors objectively. Facing the fact helps to find out effective solutions.
7. While admitting the disadvantages, knowing the advantages is also important. Competitive advantage may include staff expertise, advanced technology and products and services that competitors do not have.
8. When you finish your SWOT analysis, prioritize the factors by listing them in order of the most significant factors that affect your business to the least. You need to allocate different resources on different factors based on their importance degree.
