Organisational analysis in educational institutions should be adjusted with the objectives of the exercise and the experience of the professionals in mind. Depending on the objectives one can use a number of models with agreed strategies to reach specific goals.
A popular model is the SWOT analysis which identifies the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats of an organisation. In terms of acting as an Advanced Professional Practitioner one can gain experience from the strengths of a school and look to improve the practice of weaknesses.
The content of a SWOT analysis can be arrived at through a number of ways, from senior management discussion to a student forum. The APP must act upon weaknesses and threats by utilising strengths and opportunities. Such activity should be structured with an action plan and regularly reflected upon to ensure the method is moving toward the desired ends.
James Manktelow and Amy Carlson (2009) suggest that strengths and weaknesses are internal while opportunities and threats are often external. Thus the APP should be aware any SWOT analysis must consider the wider environment of the organisation. In terms career development, the APP should considers ones own strengths and weaknesses but also the opportunity for new experiences or study along with potential threats to a career path. A balanced approach with constant reflection would abide by the fundamental principles of a SWOT analysis.
