Leadership may conduct a SWOT analysis as part of the strategic planning process to determine the external and internal factors influencing the organization—both positive and negative. This analysis, which traditionally includes strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, can also involve trends. Trends refer to what is happening socially on the topic pertinent to the organization, and how others are addressing that topic. For example, if an agency focuses on drug-related harm reduction, they might discover that other agencies have tried syringe service programs to some success. Adding trends to the SWOT categories (to become SWOTT) allows for increased surveying of the social landscape.
