HBR Tools: SWOT Analysis.
Why do a SWOT analysis? Information about both the external environment and your organization's internal capabilities is crucial to informing your goals and strategy and making the right business decisions. If you are at the helm of a start-up, run an established line of business, or manage a product portfolio, it's essential to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) to your business.
How to use these tools in a contest.
The original HBR references remain: building a business case, finance language for managers, and SWOT as a scan. In a live case they are not the deliverable. Capture, then promote the useful points into an issue tree, one model, and a recommendation slide.
