Module 2 - Unit 2: Organizational Assessment
Eyes on the Prize
Something to keep in mind as you go through this unit:
- When you create goals, you might feel excited, overwhelmed, or even get a little carried away. That’s part of the process!
- You don’t have to address everything at once.
- Channel that energy towards focused goals.

SWOT Analysis
Now that you have some guiding tools, a SWOT Analysis is one method to assess your organization and identify your goals.
This collaborative process can include your board, house managers, clients and other stakeholders.
We created a SWOT Analysis exercise and templates for you to complete this process with your team.
