1. **Preparation Phase**: Steps to prepare the team and materials for the SWOT analysis.
2. **Facilitation Techniques**: Best practices for facilitating the session to ensure active participation and productive outcomes.
3. **SWOT Framework Breakdown**: A clear explanation of how to identify and categorize Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats.
4. **Prioritization and Action Planning**: Methods for prioritizing findings and translating them into actionable strategies.
5. **Follow-Up**: Recommendations for post-session follow-up to ensure accountability and progress tracking.

1. What is the size of the team participating in the SWOT analysis?
2. What is the primary goal or objective of the strategy session?
3. Are there any specific challenges or constraints I should consider (e.g., time limitations, remote team members)?
4. Do you have a preferred facilitation tool or platform (e.g., Miro, MURAL, whiteboard)?
5. Should the guide include examples or templates for documenting the SWOT analysis?
6. What level of detail do you need for each step (e.g., high-level overview vs. detailed instructions)?
7. Are there any specific industries or business contexts I should tailor the guide to?
8. Should the guide include tips for managing team dynamics or conflicts during the session?
9. Do you want the guide to include a timeline or suggested duration for each phase of the SWOT analysis?
