This document provides an overview of SWOT analysis, including its definition, purpose, and steps. A SWOT analysis identifies an organization's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. It is used to assess internal/external factors and formulate strategies. The steps include conducting an inventory of strengths/weaknesses and opportunities/threats, capturing relevant factors, and creating a SWOT matrix. Strategies are then formulated by matching strengths/weaknesses with opportunities/threats, such as using strengths to take advantage of opportunities or overcome threats, and using opportunities to overcome weaknesses or counter threats. An example SWOT matrix for a police training organization is also included.
