What is SWOT Analysis
Imagine you are going to participate in an adventure game. Before you set out, you have to think about your situation and the surrounding environment so that you can have a smooth game. SWOT analysis is like this thinking process, which can help you fully understand yourself and your situation.
SWOT is the acronym for four English words:
- S stands for Strengths, which means advantages , which refers to the places where you are better than others, or the good conditions you have. For example, if you run very quickly, this is your advantage; if you have a particularly good learning environment, this is also an advantage.
- W stands for Weaknesses, which means disadvantage , which is an aspect that you are not very good at or a condition that is unfavorable to you. For example, some people are afraid of talking in front of many people, which is a disadvantage; if you don’t have enough money to buy the equipment you need for adventure, it is also a disadvantage.
- O is Opportunities, that is, opportunities , situations that are beneficial to you in the outside environment. For example, in the adventure game you want to participate in, there is a running competition, and you run fast, which is a good opportunity to make you perform well in the game.
- T stands for Threats, threats , are those external factors that may cause you trouble. For example, there is a dirt road that is difficult to walk on the road to adventure, which is a threat to everyone.
Simply put, SWOT analysis is to find out your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in the external environment, and then consider them comprehensively, so that you can better plan and make decisions, allowing you to perform better in various 'risks' such as life, study, and work.
How to perform SWOT analysis
Specific steps for SWOT analysis:
- Find out your own strengths and weaknesses : calm down first and think about your own strengths and weaknesses carefully. Think from the aspects of learning, hobbies, interpersonal communication, etc. For example, you have good math grades, like to draw, and be good at getting along with your classmates, these are your advantages. If you feel that you are a little careless in doing things and are not good at sports, this is a disadvantage. You can also ask your family and friends around you and ask them to give you some objective evaluations to help you understand yourself more comprehensively.
- Analyze external opportunities and threats : Look at the surrounding environment and understand the opportunities and challenges. For example, the school is going to hold a math competition recently, which is an opportunity for you, a good math person; if the school wants to hold a sports meeting and you are not good at sports, this may be a threat. For example, there is a great demand for painting talents in society now, which is also a good opportunity for you who like to draw. You can discover these external factors by watching news, communicating with others, observing changes around you, etc.
- Making SWOT matrix : Prepare a piece of paper, draw a table, and divide it into four grids. Write 'Advantages (S)' in the upper left corner, write 'Disadvantages (W)' in the upper right corner, write 'Opportunity (O)' in the lower left corner, and write 'Threat (T)' in the lower right corner. Then fill in the advantages, disadvantages, opportunities and threats you thought of before into the corresponding grid. After filling in, start analyzing the relationship between them. For example, combine advantages and opportunities, think about how to use your own advantages to seize opportunities; put disadvantages and threats together, think about how to avoid the impact of disadvantages and deal with threats.
- Formulate an action plan : Make specific plans based on the previous analysis. If your advantage is that you have good mathematics and have the opportunity to compete in mathematics, then you can formulate a plan to participate in the competition, such as how much time you spend reviewing mathematics every day, what materials to find to practice, etc. If you are not good at sports and have the threat of sports meetings, you can plan to exercise every day from now on to improve your athletic ability, or choose some projects you are relatively good at to participate in. The plan must be specific and operational so that it can truly help you.
