Is there a software that can help me create a SWOT analysis?
Answer
You can use mind mapping software like MindGenius or Mind View to come up with ideas for your SWOT analysis.
You can then use MS Publisher or Word to create your SWOT analysis table. You can also convert your mind map into a report in Word or a presentation in PowerPoint.
MindGenius and Mind View are available on YourDMULabs and on Library computers and laptops.
Mind Genius is also available as a free home license.
Create a SWOT analysis with mind-mapping software
1. Brainstorm the SWOT analysis
Mind Mapping is a powerful brainstorming technique that is effective for outlining a SWOT. Use MindGenius or Mind View to visualize Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats, by creating a tree of ideas on a mind map. You can use the templates from the apps or create your own. You can also easily print your mind map as an image or convert it into a PowerPoint Presentation or to a Word document as an outline.
2. Add Notes and attach relevant information to the branches of the SWOT analysis.
Develop each topic in your SWOT analysis by inserting notes and linking to online resources (e.g. ebooks, articles and websites). You can also attach relevant documents that you have downloaded, e.g PDFs, Excel files, and Word documents.
3. Export to Word or PowerPoint to create SWOT Analysis Reports and Presentations
MindGenius and Mind View integrate with MS Office. You can export your SWOT mind map as a report in Word or convert the mind map into a PowerPoint Presentation.
