Energise your organization with an Innovation SWAT
Energise your organization with an Innovation SWAT
Q1: Torpors is used to refer to moribund parts of your organization that could do with a proactive shakeup. It's an odd word and frankly it was the only relevant "T" word I could think of. Does anyone have a better idea for a T word that fits this concept?
Idea Description
SWOT stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats whereas SWAT stands for Signs, What-Ifs, Assumptions and Torpors (yes, I know torpor doesn't have a plural but we're doing some linguistic innovation here). In a SWOT it's Strengths and Opportunities that have a positive spin, in a SWAT it's Signs and What-Ifs. In a SWOT it's Weaknesses and Threats that have a negative spin, in a SWAT it's Assumptions and Torpors. Try using this idea the next time you run an innovation improvement session in your organization to create your own innovation SWAT.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
I'm not interested in the money. It's whether the SWAT idea helps someone, somewhere to innovate themselves or their organizations that really matters.

You should bank less on the acronym and more on the product. What services are you selling and how will they benefit your client. The SWAT can go if it makes no sense.
