SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. It is a structured planning method that evaluates those four elements of a company, a person, a product, industry or place.

From SOFT to SWOT Analysis

The origins of the SWOT analysis technique is credited by Albert Humphrey, who led a research project at Stanford University in the 1960s and 1970s using data from many top companies. The goal was to identify why corporate planning failed. Humphrey and the original research team used the categories “What is good in the present is Satisfactory, good in the future is an Opportunity; bad in the present is a Fault and bad in the future is a Threat.” In 1964 Urick and Orr at a conference changed the F to a W, and it has stuck as that, soFt to sWot.
