But, unlike SWOT, TOWS analysis primarily takes into account threats and opportunities and then at least - weaknesses and strengths. This is also a is a strategic planning tool.

Making SWOT and TOWS analysis uses the same approach and outputs close results. ConceptDraw SWOT and TOWS Matrix Diagrams solution supplies templates of matrices, that help to list clearly the constituents of SWOT and TOWS analysis.
