Structured analysis
How the SWOT analysis template works
Identify and structure SWOT factors
Define all relevant factors in a structured manner in the template. Enter a factor, determine its origin (internal or external), and evaluate its impact (positive or negative). This will reveal whether it is a strength, weakness, opportunity, or risk—the basis of your SWOT analysis template and other SWOT analysis templates, which you can use to analyze different areas of your business.
Visualize and prioritize factors
Use the template’s integrated Kanban view to visually group all SWOT factors and rank them by relevance. Drag and drop cards between the four categories and prioritize them by urgency or strategic importance. This helps you identify patterns, focal points, and blind spots—perfect for strategy workshops and boardroom presentations.
Derive and evaluate strategies
The SWOT analysis yields four strategic combinations: S+O (build on strengths), S+T (hedge risks with strengths), W+O (make up for weaknesses with opportunities), and W+T (avoid weaknesses). The template helps you identify and discuss these combinations and derive concrete, actionable strategies from them—such as growth initiatives for marketing, efficiency programs for operations, or C-level portfolio decisions.
Create and follow an action plan
In the Action Plan tab, you link each strategy to specific measures. These include task descriptions, responsible persons, deadlines, and status. This way, your SWOT analysis templates become a living implementation plan rather than a paper tiger, and you can keep track of progress at any time—including status overviews, responsibilities, and due dates for project managers and management teams.
Create your SWOT dashboard with the App Builder
With SeaTable’s integrated no-code app builder, you can create your own customized strategy front end with minimal effort. Use the web form for collaborative entry of SWOT factors, create different views for different perspectives—e.g., a management view with a Kanban board for priorities, detailed views for project managers and marketing managers, and operational overviews for the operations team—all working on the same data basis. Share your SWOT results with stakeholders or the board via a link and use granular permissions for secure confidentiality. Password protection and user-defined access provide additional security.
