- Lack of brand awareness or market presence
- Weak customer relationships or high churn

- Flag 5-7 threats (assess probability and impact)
- Cross-reference analysis for strategic insights:
- How do we leverage strengths to capture opportunities?
- How do we shore up weaknesses to mitigate threats?
- Which opportunities can overcome weaknesses?
- Which threats could exploit weaknesses?
- Develop 3-5 strategic recommendations
- Prioritize actions and owners
- Identify metrics to track progress
Strategic Applications
- Build: Double down on strengths + opportunities

- Exit: If too many threats and weak competitive position
Notes
