Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT). Analysis is part of a strategic planning tool that
is used to develop long term strategic plans. What the Committee will do is spend a little time on
each one of the categories and they go through and do brainstorming. He continued to explain the
SWOT process explaining what is needed in the different topics.
The Committee held, responded and discussed the SWOT analysis topics individually by topic.

baseline set of metrics to measure progress against in the long term. The Committee reviewed

some baseline numbers including how many houses on the market,time on the market, median
home price, etc. Can the realtors provide some antidotal evidence of why people say they are
moving to Oak Brook or why they choose not to do so? Is it possible to get some real input from
people that have moved here or are thinking of moving here? Survey type information.
Discussion from the realtors on the Committee provided experiences with their clients and

Committee.

the Committee:
