The History of SWOT Analysis

SWOT Analysis was developed in the 1960s by Albert Humphrey at the Stanford Research Institute. This powerful framework has since become one of the most widely used strategic planning tools in business.

The framework's enduring popularity comes from its simplicity and comprehensive nature. By examining Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats, teams can gain a complete picture of their strategic position.

Today, SWOT analysis is considered one of the top strategic frameworks, ranking alongside Porter's Five Forces, PEST Analysis, and the Balanced Scorecard as essential tools for strategic planning.
