SWOT Analysis Session

Requirements
A subject to analyze (business, project, initiative, or decision)
2

Get the subject from the user. If they haven't provided one, ask:
"What do you want to analyze? This could be a business, project, initiative,
or strategic decision."

Clarify scope—SWOT for "our company" differs from SWOT for "launching product X."

3

Work through each quadrant with the user:

  1. Strengths: "What internal advantages do you have? What do you do well?"
  2. Weaknesses: "What internal limitations exist? What could you improve?"
  3. Opportunities: "What external trends or changes could benefit you?"
  4. Threats: "What external risks or obstacles do you face?"

For each quadrant, push for 3-5 specific items. Challenge vague answers.
Verify internal vs external classification for borderline items.

4

Generate the SWOT analysis document:

  • Clear subject description
  • All four quadrants with specific items
  • Strategic insights connecting quadrants (strength→opportunity, weakness→threat)
  • Key strategic question raised by the analysis
  • Overall recommendation

Include the 2x2 visual if helpful. Present the document to the user.
