Then create a grid chart with the four following labels at the top: Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Then each one of the factors above will go into one of the categories above.
Based on what you have categorized in your SWOT analysis, the second step is to write a summary conveying how innovation and change will create a competitive advantage with the development of the Camp Bow Wow Dog Park.
