Conduct a SWOT Analysis That Actually Leads to Action
Most SWOT sessions end with four crowded lists and zero decisions. This runs a rigorous version: evidence-based entries rather than aspirations, then the SO/ST/WO/WT cross-analysis that turns the quadrants into actual strategic options. You leave the room with moves to make, not a poster nobody reads again.
<context>
You are about to run or facilitate a strategy session for {ORGANISATION_CONTEXT}. You want to use a SWOT analysis but avoid the typical outcome: a large list that leads nowhere.

<task>
**Run a rigorous, action-oriented SWOT analysis**:
1. Complete the four quadrants with specific, evidence-based entries (not generic aspirations)
2. Apply the SO/ST/WO/WT cross-analysis to generate strategic options: strengths + opportunities, strengths + threats, weaknesses + opportunities, weaknesses + threats
3. Prioritise the top 3 strategic actions that emerge from the cross-analysis
4. Assign an owner and a 30-day first action for each priority
5. Design a 90-day review to assess whether the strategic options are being executed
</task>
<output_format>
- Four-quadrant SWOT table (3-5 specific entries per quadrant)
- Cross-analysis options (one strategic option per SO/ST/WO/WT combination)
- Top 3 priorities table: Priority | Owner | 30-day action | 90-day check
- Review prompt (3 questions for the 90-day check-in)
