Developing Cloquet’s SWOT
According to Carrie Shearer:
“A proper SWOT Analysis is a framework for creating an unbiased view of your organization’s internal strengths and weaknesses versus the external opportunities and threats which could hamper success.”
“It is not a list of what should be done. It is a tool to help you develop a strategy to distinguish your organization from others providing similar products or services…” ***
