Explanation
In a SWOT analysis, Strengths (A) and Weaknesses (B) are internal factors - they reflect your own organization's capabilities, resources, and limitations, which you have direct influence over. Opportunities (C) and Threats (D) are external factors driven by the market, economy, competitors, regulations, or other outside forces that you generally cannot control, only respond to. Think of it this way: you can train your team (strength), fix a broken process (weakness), but you cannot force a competitor out of the market or prevent a recession. A handy memory tip: the SW in SWOT = Self / Within your control; the OT = Outside / Third-party forces.
