How to apply it
- List your strengths, including skills, experience and qualities others value.
- List your weaknesses, including skill gaps and habits that hold you back.
- List opportunities in your organisation, industry or network.
- List threats, such as changing roles, technology or competition.
- Identify actions that use strengths to seize opportunities.
