SWOT analysis seems to be one of the most underrated items in my opinion. I believe it can help so many people and so many organizations improve their performance as well as drive people towards better increased job satisfaction by doing the things they are really good at.

Links nicely with the business strategy classes, explains the relationships between the two and how HR can drive business strategy by developing their own strategy
