So, "Threats identified in a SWOT Analysis are the most difficult element to mitigate" is True.

But improving them (e.g., becoming more efficient) is often necessary for growth. So, "Acting on weaknesses identified in a SWOT Analysis can be challenging but often necessary to grow business" is True.
