What is a SWOT analysis template?

The SWOT analysis is a basic method for identifying your organization’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. The SWOT matrix is useful for strategic planning and project management. This exercise allows you to examine both external and internal elements affecting your business and capitalize on those that can assist your corporation in staying ahead of competition and planning for growth.

Your SWOT could be created with an Excel or Word template, but Xtensio’s free SWOT template gives you the freedom to explore the matrix visually with moveable modules and the ability to add images, videos, charts and graphs. This allows you to see company internal and external factors more clearly and outline a well-define strategy for the next steps.

What would you use a SWOT analysis for?

You can conduct a simple SWOT analysis for many different objectives, but defining the objective is the first step in conducting an effective SWOT analysis. You can use the analysis to make sure your company is aligned with your growth goals, or to evaluate individual projects within a single department.

How do I write a SWOT analysis?

You should assemble a group of people from various departments inside your firm to ensure that you have representatives from all sectors of the business and all goods. Each group will have wholly distinct perspectives that are crucial to the success of your SWOT study.

Doing a SWOT analysis is like company brainstorming meetings, and there are right and wrong ways to run them. With Xtensio’s template, everyone can add their notes at their convenience and everyone will be in sync as it comes together.

Steps to inspire your analysis brainstorm:

  • Determine your objective.
  • Do your research: explore areas in your industry, market, competitors.
  • Make a list of company strengths.
  • Make a list of company weaknesses.
  • Make a list of possible opportunities.
  • Make a list of possible threats.
  • Conclude your analysis with a well-defined internal strategy and steps for how you can take action. How will you use your strengths to overcome threats? How will you improve your weaknesses to take advantage of opportunities?

What are examples of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in a SWOT analysis?

Strengths and weaknesses are internal factors — these are things that you have at least some control over. Examples may include your product patents, intellectual property, technologies and resources, your location, your team. These factors should also highlight what your team and/or product does better than your competitors and things that your company lacks.

External factors are opportunities and risks that occur outside of your organization and in the bigger market. Opportunities can include a lack of competition in the area or a rising need for your product. Rising material prices and new competitors joining the market are two examples of dangers. You can seize opportunities and defend against threats, but you can’t change them.

Are there alternatives to the SWOT Analysis?

Yes. SWOT Analysis may not cover specific aspects of your strategic approach, or it may not be the best match for your business philosophy. We are curating some SWOT Alternatives to do business in a changing world.

Frequently asked questions

What is Xtensio?

Xtensio is the quickest and easiest way for teams to create, share and manage all of their business documents together. Create pitches, sales sheets, reports, case studies, agendas and more. Add images, videos, tables, buttons and other interactive modules. Drag and drop, resize, change backgrounds, colors. Share a link. Present a digital slideshow. Export a PDF/PNG.

What’s a folio?

A folio is a live webpage, a full-screen digital slideshow presentation and an exportable PDF/PNG document all-in-one. Folios are responsive, collaborative and completely customizable.
Start from an instructional template, editable example or a blank folio to build all your business documents and presentations with the ease of a web builder. Add team members and guests to work together in real-time on the cloud. Changes instantly sync to the live version of the folio so both internal and external stakeholders are always up-to-date. Folios are the next generation of flexible documents and presentations.

How is Xtensio different from PPT, Illustrator or Word?

Unlike other presentation or document creators, Xtensio works like a web builder so you can easily drag and drop interactive content, customize the layout, and change colors, fonts, backgrounds to get professional-looking business content out the door quickly, without needing a designer.
You can collaborate with team members and guests to work together in real-time on the cloud. And the flexibility to share folios as live web links, digital slideshow presentations or exportable PDF/PNGs means you don’t have to jump between tools when creating different deliverables. Check out this page to see how Xtensio outpaces the competition.

Is my data private and secure?

Yes. All Xtensio plans include 128 bit SSL encryption and backups to ensure your data is secure. Here’s more on the range of sharing options on Xtensio, from completely private to public.

Can I create a free SWOT analysis?

What would I get by upgrading to a premium plan?

By upgrading to our premium plans, you’ll have a private, branded workspace with your own URL where you, your team members and guests can create and collaborate on multiple presentations and documents.
You’ll be able to lock branding across your deliverables with the team style guide, streamline the creation process with custom templates, unlock exports, add password protection and customize individual shared links, and view folio stats to stay updated on all of your projects. Here’s more about our premium plans.

Do you have any example SWOT analysis templates I can use?

Yes! We have a couple of SWOT analysis examples and templates above that you can use as a starting point to help think about your own need for your product or organization. Use the examples for inspiration to help your company excel. Click on one of the SWOT template examples to start editing your external factors and internal strengths and strategy. Make sure you read the instructional template copy to understand what information needs to be added to each section of the template.

What are examples of strengths and opportunities in a SWOT analysis?

Understanding your internal strengths and weaknesses, your external opportunities and threats requires digging into your existing customers. You could ask customers to fill out a satisfaction survey. Then use the information collected in the survey to fill out the user persona template and find out what your existing customer-base is happy with and what they think could be better. The swot template will have questions to guide you.

Can I add colleagues to edit my SWOT analysis?

Yes! You can invite as many people as you’d like to collaborate on your SWOT analysis, ensuring your whole team is aligned in real-time.  Here’s more on real-time collaboration.

How do I share my SWOT analysis?

When you’re ready to share your company or product SWOT analysis, choose between presenting it as a full-screen digital slideshow, sending it as a responsive web link or exporting your fact sheet as a PDF or PNG (premium feature). All of your share options are located at the top right of your edit screen. Learn more about the different ways to share your folios in this tutorial video.
