SWOT Analysis Example chart in PowerPoint:
SWOT analysis is probably one of the most common models used in business presentations. This ‘situation analysis’ tool is easy to understand and practical to use. Here is an example of SWOT chart you will learn to create in this article:
Let us learn the steps right away.
Step 1: Create the 4 quadrants

Step 2: Add the finishing touches
Now, it is time to make the squares look beautiful. Click on each of the squares and apply a quick style of your choice:
When you add some sheen and enter relevant text, your SWOT template chart gets ready:
Since the angle of rotation of the squares is altered, you can’t enter text directly into the squares. This will make the text appear in awkward angles. So, we enter the text separately by using ‘text box’ tool in auto shapes menu. The kite shape of the squares makes it easy for us to fit in longer text.
Variation of SWOT template chart:
There is no ‘one way’ to create a SWOT chart. Likewise, there is no one way to shade the squares. You can choose to shade all the squares in one color and differentiate a specific square with a different shade as shown here:
Once you learn the basic method, you can come up with your own variations.
