Newbie to Newbie: a quick and dirty SWOT/TOWS one-tiddler-toy
Pit.W.
A humble contribution for those who want a quick return; strictly
for beginners only, the Pros will be bored.
SWOT analysis is an important tool for some people. But then: the
strategic response options (TOWS) are the paydirt...
Below is the tiddler content for a quick and very dirty
analysis.
(I am also working on a plugin solution, which is not so quick,
but more complicated & still a bit dirty.
That one will transfer the SWOT into the TOWS headers and then be
connected to a task management system.
But who would want something complicated?)
Usage:
1. copy code into a tiddler; save it;
2. Install the checkbox plugin (link below)
3. copy the TW to your phone
4. delete the explanatory contents
5. Enter your SWOT
6. THINK!
7. Enter TOWS
8.ACT!

Works best with the checklist demo plugin :

This is a one-tiddler-template with minimum functionality,
especially meant for use on a mobile device, under stress and
independent of your TW-configuration. That's why it is called
"quick".
This one-tiddler-template does not automatically transfer the
input of the SWOT into the headers (of columns and lines) of the
TOWS, as it is proposed in literature. Thats why it is called
"dirty"
