Change is an inevitable part of community organizing. If you know
how to take stock of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and
threats, you are more likely to plan and act effectively.
SWOT provides a tool to explore both internal and external factors
that may influence your work.

Cast a wide net for the external part of the assessment. No
organization, group, program, or neighborhood is immune to outside
events and forces. Consider your connectedness, for better and
worse, as you compile this part of your SWOT list.
Forces and facts that your group does not control include:

A SWOT analysis is often created during a retreat or planning session
that allows several hours for brainstorming and analysis. The best
results come when the process is collaborative and inclusive.
When creating the analysis, people are asked to pool their individual
and shared knowledge and experience. The more relaxed, friendly
and constructive the setting, the more truthful, comprehensive,
insightful, and useful your analysis will be.

Steps for conducting a SWOT analysis:
IN SUMMARY
A realistic recognition of the weaknesses and threats that exist for
your effort is the first step to countering them with a robust set of
strategies that build upon strengths and opportunities. A SWOT
analysis identifies your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and
threats to assist you in making strategic plans and decisions.

While the terms are general, the analysis still offered direction to the
participants in their planning. The group identified one of their
strengths as people who are committed to the work, while one of their
weaknesses was difficulty balancing service delivery and advocacy.
They needed to be aware of both internal qualities as they formed
strategies for community change.
When they looked to their external and internal opportunities, the
group realized they had the attention of funders. They could capitalize
on this opportunity for grant money, but they needed to define
projects with an awareness of an internal weakness: people in the
community need to define success. If the group accepts a grant to
carry out a project that the community does not consider important
(i.e., has not defined as success), their future effectiveness could be
compromised.
More specifically, the neighborhood group knew they want to make
improvements in certain goal areas, so they used the SWOT analysis
to guide planning.
One goal area was economic development and job creation. Knowing
they possessed certain strengths, they developed a plan that
addressed some of their weaknesses:
Strength and Opportunity
In this way, even a very simple SWOT analysis can be a basis for
brainstorming and concrete planning, within the context of the vision,
mission, and purpose an organization has already established.
After the SWOT analysis, of course, the neighborhood group moved on
to the next step--developing action plans to implement its strategies.
Information from the SWOT was useful in that context as well, helping
to clarify strengths and weaknesses in resources and experience.
