This is a simple technique for identifying the various aspects of a proposed course of action. It analyses the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats inherent in the course action.
A flipchart page can be divided into 4 quadrants. Each is labelled as follows:
Strengths
|
Weaknesses
|
Opportunities
|
Threats
|
The problem holder can then be helped to identify the aspects under each of the headings.
Alternatively, the group can brainstorm within each category.
