SWOT Analysis: Internal Analysis
As you conduct an Internal Analysis of your organization, you may want to examine your organization's strengths and weaknesses in the following areas:
Management Capabilities
for example
- Organizational structure: Does the organizational structure
hinder or facilitate a free flow of information? What about client-responsive implementation of activities?
- Planning: Have feasible long- and short-term plans been made,
involving staff and community?
- Coordination: How well do different departments of your
organization cooperate and coordinate with each other?
- Staffing: Are staff roles clear? Do staff have consistent training and feedback to ensure high performance?
- Supervision: Do all staff meet regularly with a supervisor? Do
staff view the supervisor's role as one of guidance, assistance, and
support?
- Training: Do you regularly assess training needs of staff?
- Management Information System: Do managers have accurate
information on the progress made toward the objectives of the
program?
Programming Capabilities:
for example
- Capacity: What is the potential capacity of your program to
provide services? Does the current level of activities match this
capacity?
- Quality: How can you improve quality of care in your program? What is the level of client satisfaction?
Financing Capabilities:
for example
- Self-financing: What is your current level of self-financing?
- Outside funding sources: What are your current sources of
financing? How stable are these
sources?
