  1. Prompt to conduct a SWOT analysis and get insights
    I am on the leadership team of [COMPANY] and need to understand how to make [COMPANY] as successful as possible.
    Please perform a SWOT analysis of the content in table format. Ensure that each "Strength" and "Weakness" is internal, and each "Opportunity" and "Threat" is external.

    Provide at least 10 examples of each. Below the SWOT analysis, create an additional set of tables.

    The first table should be called "Double Down". This table contains a set of insights that are produced by combining internal "Strengths" with external "Opportunities". In Column 1, choose one of the "Strengths" from the SWOT analysis, and one of the "Opportunities" from the SWOT analysis. Combine them to create a specific set of insights on how to leverage the strength and opportunity.The second table should be called "Fixable Threats". This table contains a set of insights that are produced by combining internal "Strengths" with external "Threats".

    In Column 1, choose one of the "Strengths" from the SWOT analysis, and one of the "Threats" from the SWOT analysis. Combine them to create a specific set of insights on how to use the strength to deal with the threats.The third table should be called "Inaccessible Opportunity". This table contains a set of insights that are produced by combining internal "Weaknesses" with external "Opportunities".

    In Column 1, choose one of the "Weaknesses" from the SWOT analysis, and one of the "Opportunities" from the SWOT analysis. Combine them to create a specific set of insights on why the opportunity is inaccessible due to the internal weakness.The fourth table should be called "Existential Threats". This table contains a set of insights that are produced by combining internal "Weakness" with external "Threats".

    In Column 1, choose one of the "Weaknesses" from the SWOT analysis, and one of the "Threats" from the SWOT analysis. Combine them to create a specific set of insights on why the weakness may cause an existential threat that could severely damage the company.
