Indeed, though I'm not the biggest fan of SWOT. It's often misused, and doesn't actually solve any issues on its own for strategic thinking.[0] A couple of common errors are to create a SWOT on its own, or to create a SWOT by yourself. The presence of one doesn't actually solve anything, or indeed identify a way to improve. Secondly, simply having one person's view on what should go in a box misses out the point of it - to engage and try and bring a common understanding of where we need to go. However, I've answered some of the above in a interview for the publicity team, so look out for that. I wouldn't want to spoil the work that they've put in :) [0] The Use and Misuse of SWOT Analysis and Implications for HRD Professionals is interesting for those who want more reading. Neil --
