WEBINAR – SWOT like you’ve never done it before

May 26 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Free

A practical session to help your club move from generic ideas to a clear, usable foundation for strategic planning.

Most SWOT analyses don’t go far enough. They end up as broad lists that look good on paper but don’t actually guide decisions or shape meaningful planning.

In this session, you’ll learn how to approach SWOT differently, using a structured, practical process that helps you uncover what’s really happening inside your club.

By the end of the workshop, you won’t just understand the framework. You’ll have completed your own SWOT analysis and know how to use it moving forward.

 

What you will learn in this webinar

Why strategic planning matters and how SWOT supports better decisions

What makes a SWOT truly useful and why most fail to create clear direction and real outcomes

How to assess your club’s current position in a more structured and realistic way

How to identify risks, issues and opportunities that are often overlooked

How to ask better questions that lead to more productive planning discussions

How to use CPRG’s online SWOT tool and generate an output to support your club’s strategic plan
