SOAR analysis identifies strengths, opportunities, aspirations, and results for a business. It focuses on utilizing strengths and aspirations to guide strategic direction, unlike SWOT which emphasizes weaknesses. However, for businesses with mission statements, the aspirations section may be redundant, and not accounting for competition could lead the business to focus on uncompetitive strengths and miss important metrics for success.

Advantages and disadvantages of a SOAR analysis

Advantages
 Forward-looking and strength-focused – especially compared to the
similar SWOT Analysis which focuses more resources on rectifying
weaknesses.
 Incorporates tangible goals with facts regarding the business and market,
unlike many other strategic frameworks.
 Provides important guidance on the future direction of the business when
strengths and aspirations are identified.
Disadvantages
 For businesses that have already defined a mission statement, the
aspirations quadrant may be superfluous.
 The strength-centric focus of the SOAR analysis does not take into
account marketplace competition, potentially leading businesses to focus on
what makes them uncompetitive. As a result, the organization may set and
achieve goals (and define success) based on metrics that will result in them
becoming very much unsuccessful.
