How to conduct a SWOT analysis + get insights

This prompt is designed to facilitate the generation of a SWOT analysis—identifying strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats—based on your company's data. It is particularly useful for garnering strategic insights and crafting comprehensive assessments, such as a situation analysis, that inform decision-making and strategic planning. By conducting a detailed SWOT analysis, you can create a structured list of strengths and weaknesses that are key to positioning your company within the market effectively.

What content you'll need to provide

To achieve the best results, you should upload detailed company data in any Storytell-supported format. This could include reports, performance metrics, market analysis, strategic plans, and other relevant documents that reflect the company's internal and external environment. Replace [COMPANY] with the name of your company in the respective prompt. Providing comprehensive and well-organized data will enable the prompt to generate an accurate and insightful SWOT analysis tailored to your company's specific context and strategic needs. This will help clarify the list of strengths and weaknesses, as well as broader opportunities and threats, contributing to a thorough situation analysis.

Here's the prompt

I am on the leadership team of [COMPANY] and need to understand how to make [COMPANY] as successful as possible.

Please perform a SWOT analysis of the content in table format. Ensure that each "Strength" and "Weakness" is internal, and each "Opportunity" and "Threat" is external. Provide at least 10 examples of each.

Below the SWOT analysis, create an additional set of tables.

The first table should be called "Double Down". This table contains a set of insights that are produced by combining internal "Strengths" with external "Opportunities". In Column 1, choose one of the "Strengths" from the SWOT analysis, and one of the "Opportunities" from the SWOT analysis. Combine them to create a specific set of insights on how to leverage the strength and opportunity.

The second table should be called "Fixable Threats". This table contains a set of insights that are produced by combining internal "Strengths" with external "Threats". In Column 1, choose one of the "Strengths" from the SWOT analysis, and one of the "Threats" from the SWOT analysis. Combine them to create a specific set of insights on how to use the strength to deal with the threats.

The third table should be called "Inaccessible Opportunity". This table contains a set of insights that are produced by combining internal "Weaknesses" with external "Opportunities". In Column 1, choose one of the "Weaknesses" from the SWOT analysis, and one of the "Opportunities" from the SWOT analysis. Combine them to create a specific set of insights on why the opportunity is inaccessible due to the internal weakness.

The fourth table should be called "Existential Threats". This table contains a set of insights that are produced by combining internal "Weakness" with external "Threats". In Column 1, choose one of the "Weaknesses" from the SWOT analysis, and one of the "Threats" from the SWOT analysis. Combine them to create a specific set of insights on why the weakness may cause an existential threat that could severely damage the company.
