It's a good idea for this type of "self assessment" to take place anytime. I was involved briefly in a community economic development project many years ago and that formula by another name was used - strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats. It made people think about what's possible, what's not, but at least assessing where they live and pondering reality.
Hey Charles, sounds like some good experience. We'd love to have your input sometime within the CLCC. You might get a phone call ;)
