SWOT analysis is designed to facilitate a realistic, fact-based, data-driven look at the strengths and weakness of an organization. The organization needs to keep the analysis accurate by avoiding preconceived beliefs or "gray areas" and instead focusing on real-life contexts. A SWOT analysis pulls information from internal sources (strengths and weaknesses of the specific organization), as well as external forces that may have uncontrollable impacts on decisions (opportunities and threats).
