Frictionless SWOT: Taking the Traditional SWOT Analysis to the Next Level

The Vision Gap Show, Episode 14:
On this show, we provide an overview of how the Frictionless SWOT analysis tool enhances the traditional SWOT analysis process. Andy Halko and Tony Zayas demonstrate how the tool allows a leadership team to collaboratively identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. It prioritizes these factors based on anonymous input from all team members. For weaknesses and opportunities, it guides the team through research, analysis, and generating actions to address them. Specifically, it helped the team analyze a weakness around dependency on a few key clients. Through tasks assigned in the tool, the team developed a plan to reposition their high-touch client service approach as a premium offering to address this weakness. The tool aims to make the SWOT process more collaborative, accountable, and action-oriented through features like real-time input, progress tracking, and AI assistance.
