Moving Beyond SWOT: Why ABW Partners Uses the SOAR Framework for Strategic Planning
When it comes to strategic planning, many companies and organizations turn to a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis. This framework has long been the go-to tool for evaluating what an organization is currently doing, whether at a macro level or for specific programs or initiatives. At ABW Partners, we have used the SWOT framework for many years and can attest to its value. However, we’ve also come to realize SWOT analyses are not always the help our clients truly need.

Practicing ‘Internal Philanthropy’ to Boost Organizational Strength
Internal Philanthropy is a concept rooted in the idea of looking inward and ensuring that we and our colleagues are taken care of emotionally, mentally, and physically. It involves organizations adopting practices that help employees prioritize self-care, manage stress, and foster a balanced work environment.
As the final leg of 2024 ramps up and our personal lives become more cluttered, I’m encouraging my team and clients to embrace the “October Theory,” and use this month as well as the final two of the year to reset their goals. This will ensure that once 2025 rolls around, the habits we’ve set forth are part of our routine and lifestyle.
