SWOT Analysis

SWOT analysis is a strategic planning method used to evaluate the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats involved in a project or in a business venture. It involves specifying the objective of the business venture or project and identifying the internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable to achieving that objective. The technique is credited to Albert Humphrey.
A SWOT analysis must first start with defining a desired end state or objective. A SWOT analysis may be incorporated into the strategic planning model. Strategic Planning, including SWOT and SCAN analysis, has been the subject of much research.

· Strengths: attributes of the person or company that are helpful to achieving the objectives.
· Weaknesses: attributes of the person or company that are harmful to achieving the objectives.
· Opportunities: external conditions that are helpful to achieving the objectives.
· Threats: external conditions which could do damage to the objectives.

Below ive included a picture of my individual Swot analysis report.


In reflection of my SWOT analysis I’ve shown my strengths and weaknesses within a working environment. I’ve also included my opportunities and also threats. Within threats I felt that the main one was eventually loosing my job due the current economic climate even though its now picking up. I think now looking back I could have expanded into a little greater depth for threats but I just wanted to focus upon the main one.

Learning Plan

Today i completed a learning line, a learning line shows what you have learned in the past and what you want to learn in the future. This will consist of area's such as schools's, college's, work places and much more.

With reflection on my learning line I could have included a few more points through out my learning life but they aren’t as major as the things I have already included. Maybe with more extensive research I would I have included a lot more things but I feel that the ones I have included are the more important and have been a big influence on what my learning style is today.

Self Evaluation

Last Week I completed an assesement on my Current Skills and Qualities. There were a number of questions on different subjects:

-People
-Activites
-Personal Qualities

I ticked all of the boxes as i felt that they all related to me in some way or another. The questions ranges from things about teamwork, setting priorities, assertiveness and making decisions.

I also learn't about Reflective Practice. This is shown below in the link -http://www.learningandteaching.info/learning/reflecti.htm

I think its important to reflect on things that you do as it makes a great learning process.
