Family business SWOT analysis produces results!

SWOT analysis is easy to do – it can be done with paper and pencil and doesn’t require any experience to make it work!

“When family businesses ask what they can do to improve the operational efficiency and effectiveness of their family’s business, my first response is to recommend they consider doing a SWOT analysis,” says leading family business expert Don Schwerzler.

The SWOT analysis process can be used on the entire business, a single department or critical functions such sales and marketing.

"When a new member of the family is joining the business, having the Nexter conduct a SWOT analysis is a great way for them to learn each element of the business and the results can lead to huge opportunities for innovation,” notes Schwerzler.

“The SWOT analysis can make a good business better – or make the difference whether a family business survives, especially in dealing with the current economic conditions”.

Schwerzler has been studying and advising family business entrepreneurs for more than 40 years and is the founder of the Family Business Institute.

Success stories can be powerful motivators to family businesses.
