    Tips

  • Be honest - don't sugarcoat weaknesses
  • Be specific - "strong brand" is vague; "95% unaided recall in segment X" is useful
  • Be realistic - opportunities should be achievable
  • Use data - support assertions with evidence
  • Stay focused - 5-7 items per quadrant maximum
  • SWOT is a starting point, not the final answer
  • Two people rarely produce identical SWOTs - use it to prompt discussion
