Make a Crisp-Looking SWOT Analysis Slide on PowerPoint

This week’s tutorial is dedicated to all of the business professionals and students out there. We’re going to make an awesome SWOT analysis on PowerPoint.

WHAT IS IT?

In essence, a SWOT Analysis is a useful technique for understanding an entity’s strengths and weaknesses while simultaneously identifying its opportunities available, and the potential threats it could face. To learn more about what a SWOT analysis is, click here.

We’re basically going to develop a SWOT analysis infographic and divide it into four quadrants on our slide using a custom set of shapes that I show you how to do in the video tutorial. From there, we’ll correlate all the information using icons, colors, and text.

The end result is a crisp looking SWOT analysis slide that your audience can use to process the information clearly and concisely.

IT EASY TO MAKE?

Yes, in fact, I did not spend more than 10 minutes on it this tutorial.

WHEN SHOULD I CONSIDER MAKING THIS SWOT ANALYSIS SLIDE FOR MY POWERPOINT DECK/PRESENTATION?

You should consider making this SWOT Analysis PowerPoint slide when you:

• Want to display a summary of a SWOT analysis to your audience.
• Have four separate points that you want to convey to your audience on one slide (in this case, you will remove the S, W, O, and T from the infographic and put numbers in their respective places).
