When it comes to understanding your business’s current position and charting a path to success, knowing the four parts of a SWOT analysis is essential. Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats – these pillars of SWOT provide the insights needed to navigate today’s competitive marketplace. But what if there was a way to take this analysis a step further, transforming raw data into a clear, actionable roadmap for growth? That’s where Splash Omnimedia’s GPS Framework comes into play.

Why a SWOT Analysis Matters

A SWOT analysis is more than just a business exercise; it’s a strategic tool that helps you:

• Identify What’s Working: Capitalize on your strengths to stay ahead of competitors.
• Recognize Challenges: Understand weaknesses and address them effectively.
• Spot Growth Opportunities: Uncover untapped markets or strategies.
• Prepare for Risks: Anticipate threats and minimize their impact.

While the traditional SWOT framework offers incredible insights, it doesn’t always provide clear next steps. That’s why Splash Omnimedia built the GPS Framework — an evolved version of SWOT analysis designed to guide businesses through every stage of growth.

Introducing the GPS Framework: Your Business Roadmap

Think of the GPS Framework as your business’s navigation system. GPS stands for:

• Gauge Your Current Position: Analyze where you are in the market and assess your brand’s performance.
• Pinpoint Strengths and Opportunities: Highlight your unique advantages and areas with growth potential.
• Set Your Path: Create a step-by-step plan to achieve your goals.

By applying the principles of a SWOT analysis and adding actionable strategy, the GPS Framework ensures that your business doesn’t just identify problems but actively solves them.
