Collaborative Analysis Prompt

Some of you may have written a SWOT Report before, but this one will be a little bit different. In addition to the list of Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities, and Threats you identify for your company, you will have to do some interpretation to show your client why what you’ve found is significant and how it might help them make a decision based on a problem you’ve identified.

To do well on this assignment, conduct research on your organization based on your research proposal. Use more than just the organization’s website. Consider what others are saying about them (for instance, in the news or in consumer reports) and what kind of organization they are and what might be expected of them. You can also look at their communication and teamwork structures and policies, as human relations are often the biggest sticking point. Describe the (S)trengths, (W)eaknesses, (O)pportunities, and (T)hreats, and give the organization advice on how to move forward. The report’s information and advice should be appropriate in scale, and the report should not be uneven in style or analytical approach.
