In this Solo Blogcast episode of Direct Application, host Matt Harrington revisits the classic SWOT analysis - Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats - but with a modern, practical twist. If your SWOTs feel like checkbox exercises or dusty whiteboard sessions, it’s time for a refresh.

Matt shares:

• Why SWOT still matters in today’s fast-changing world
• The key difference between internal vs. external insight
• How to run engaging, insightful SWOT sessions that spark real conversation
• Ways to involve diverse voices across your organization or community
• A simple prioritization hack (hint: sticky dots!) that brings instant clarity

Strategic planning starts with what’s real. Learn how to use SWOT not just as a tool, but as a trust-building, alignment-driving moment of discovery.
