SWOT is a method used to evaluate the overall state of an organization, allowing for the development of a strategic action plan. The name comes from the acronym of the terms: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats.
This analysis allows the organization to leverage its strengths, eliminate or correct weaknesses, efficiently exploit market opportunities, and build defense mechanisms against external threats. It is an essential tool both for strategic planning and for solving complex problems that require an overview of the internal and external context.
