This week, you will be conducting the first half of a SWOT analysis with your selected organization. With this analysis, your focus should primarily be strengths and weaknesses. Keep in mind that new things will emerge each week as you analyze this organization.
For this part of the environmental scan, please make sure you include an introduction in the first paragraph. Restate the organization selected and incorporate the issue you are addressing before proceeding with the SWOT analysis and review of your findings.
The information gathered will be added to the previous research you have uncovered. All the information and data gathered will be used in the presentation developed at the end of this course. The presentation and final paper will be deliverables you would prepare if you were actually presenting back to the senior leadership team of the company who hired you to do the consulting.
Please craft a review of your findings in APA format. You may submit the SWOT analysis in bullet-point or table form. A minimum of four (4) academic sources is required. As a supporting resource, visit the APA Documentation Style library site.

Part 3
At the end of your doctoral education, you should be equipped to do three key things: (1) Teach at the college-level, (2) Publish research in a peer-reviewed journal, and (3) Do consulting. This environmental scan project is designed to walk you through the aspects of a consulting visit and add to your organizational optimization plan.
Researching Your Selected Organization
1. Contact the CEO/Manager/Owner, if possible. This will add more ground-level perspective and color to your analysis.
2. Gain permission to conduct an environmental scan.
3. Ask or do solid research into a focus area (an area that is a real challenge or opportunity for the organization: remarketing a new program/product, declining clientele base, increase in the cost of production, etc.). Key note: Ask the CEO or designee for a time to interview. With the permission of the CEO or designee, determine an area that needs to be addressed within the company/organization; something that needs to be developed or improved. All the assignments and information gathered are to be used in proposing and supporting this development or improvement.
4. Interview, investigate and record:
o Purpose/Function of organization
o Mission/Vision
o Values
o Concise History
o Focus Area Project descriiption (initial descriiption)
5. Biggest Need & Idea to Address It: Craft a paper on your organization from the findings you have discovered from your interview and research of the organization. An interview protocol and answer transcriiption should be submitted as an appendix to this paper showing what questions were asked of the leader and the answers given. A minimum of four (4) academic sources is required.
