8. SWOT Analysis Minaret College
Firstly, our objectives must be clear.
If a clear objectives have been identified, SWOT analysis can be used to help in the pursuit of those objectives. In this case, SWOTs are:
Strengths: attributes of the organization that are helpful to achieving the objective.
Weaknesses: attributes of the organization that are harmful to achieving the objective.
Opportunities: external conditions that are helpful to achieving the objective.
Threats: external conditions that are harmful to achieving the objective.

9. Minaret College Avoiding Errors
Conducting a SWOT analysis before defining and agreeing upon an objective (a desired end state).
SWOTs should not exist in the abstract. They can exist only with reference to an objective. If the desired end state is not openly defined and agreed upon, the participants may have different end states in mind and the results will be ineffective.

10. Minaret College Avoiding Errors
Opportunities external to the company are often confused with strengths internal to the company. They should be kept separate.
SWOTs are sometimes confused with possible strategies. SWOTs are descriptions of conditions, while possible strategies define actions. This error is made especially with reference to opportunity analysis. To avoid this error, it may be useful to think of opportunities as "auspicious conditions".

11. Generating Strategies

Creative Use of SWOTs:
Generating Strategies
If, on the other hand, the objective seems attainable, the SWOTs are used as inputs to the creative generation of possible strategies, by asking and answering each of the following four questions, many times:
How can we Use each Strength?
How can we Stop each Weakness?
How can we Exploit each Opportunity?
How can we Defend against each Threat?
