SWOT Analysis

What is it?
You can use a SWOT analysis to identify and analyze the Strengths and Weaknesses of your organization, as well as the Opportunities and Threats revealed by the information you have gathered on the external environment.
Who uses it?
The team members, the managers.
Why use it?
To develop a plan that takes into consideration many different internal and external factors, and maximizes the potential of the strengths and opportunities while minimizing the impact of the weaknesses and threats.
When to use it?
While developing a strategic plan or planning a solution to a problem, after you have analyzed the external environment (for example, the culture, economy, health, sources of funding, demographics, etc.).
    How to use it:
  • Internal Analysis: Examine the capabilities of your organization. This can be done by analyzing your organization's strengths and weaknesses. Click here for some examples of management areas you may want to consider during this analysis.

  • External Analysis: Look at the main points in the environmental analysis, and identify those points that pose opportunities for your organization, and those that pose threats or obstacles to performance.
    If you need additional information, you can find out what your users think by using a user survey or a tally sheet.

Decide whether the answers or the data collected reveal external opportunities or threats.
Enter the information you have collected in steps one and two into a table as illustrated below:

POSITIVE-NEGATIVE
Strengths-Weaknesses->INTERNAL
Opportunities-Threats->EXTERNAL

You can use this information to help you develop a strategy that uses the strengths and opportunities to reduce the weaknesses and threats, and to achieve the objectives of your organization.

Using a SWOT Analysis
Instead of using the Force Field Analysis, Mrs. Alvarez and the team could have used the SWOT analysis to determine the forces that promote or hinder the health center's achievement of its mission. The difference between the Force Field Analysis and the SWOT analysis is in the classification of "driving" and "restraining" forces into "internal" and "external" ones. The team could have analyzed the health center's strengths and weaknesses, and the external environment's opportunities and threats, as in the following chart. In this case, the first step consists of organizing the forces that resulted from the brainstorming session along the two variables (internal and external) as either positive or negative. The next step would then be the generation of alternatives, as can be seen in the chart below.
INTERNAL
Strengths 

  • willingness of staff to change

  • good location of health center

  • perception of quality of services


Weaknesses 
  • staff lack of motivation 

  • small building 

  • paperwork and bureaucracy 

  • cultural differences with users 


E
X
T
E
R
N
A
L
Opportunities

  • support of local government 

  • high felt need of users

  • little competition

  • internationally funded projects


SO Alternatives 

  • training of staff in interactive techniques of quality improvement

  • coordination with other providers to cover all user needs


WO Alternatives 

  • remodeling of facility with local government funds and international help

 

 

 

Threats 

  • low income of users

  • bad roads

  • low salaries

  • lack of budget

  • paradigms of providers


ST Alternatives 

  • cost recovery of drugs and lab supplies with user fees 

  • payment of incentives to staff based on performance


WT Alternatives 

  • review of procedures for decreasing costs and waiting times and increasing
    perceived quality

12 Bar Blues Piano Chord Progression


In this lesson we will be exploring blues piano or more specifically the 12 bar blues progression for piano. We will be working in 4/4 time which means that each "bar" or "measure" will have 4 beats. This gives the 12 bar blues progression a total of 48 beats (12 X 4 = 48). Briefly, so as not to get confusing, a beat for our purposes is one tap of the foot. This would give you 4 foot taps for each bar or measure. It goes like this...1,2,3,4 (one bar or measure), 1,2,3,4 (our second bar or measure), 1,2,3,4 (third bar or measure), etc. for 12 bars. Notice we start over after 4 beats. We do not count 1,2,3,4...5,6,7,8, we only give each bar or measure 4 beats or foot taps.

Blues piano is based upon the I-IV-V chord progression. If you have studied our lesson on chord progressions you know this means you will be using the 1st, 4th, and 5th scale tone chords of a major scale. In the key of "C" this would give you a C major chord (I), F major chord (IV), and G major chord (V). This is based upon the student using "triad or 3-note scale tone chords". However, in blues piano we will be adding a lowered or flatted 7th (seventh) tone to each major chord making them 7th or dominant 7th chords. Using the key of "C" this would give you C7 (notes are C,E,G, and Bb) as the I chord, F7 (notes are F,A,C, and Eb) as the IV chord, and G7 (notes are G,B,D, and F) as the V chord.

For our basic blues piano we have established the amount of bars or measures to use (12), the beats per bar or measure (4), and the chords we will be using (C7, F7, and G7). Now it is time to specify how many bars or measures each chord will be played. We shall begin with C7 and play this chord for 4 bars or measures. So, play or strike the C7 chord and tap with your foot 4 beats. You will do this 4 times for a total of 16 beats. Then, play the F7 chord for 2 bars or measures. Play the F7 chord and tap with your foot 4 beats. You will do this twice (2 times) for a total of 8 beats. Now, go back to C7 chord for 2 more bars or measures. Play the C7 chord and tap with your foot 4 beats. Do this 2 times for a total of 8 beats.

Now for our grand finish. Play the G7 chord for 1 bar or measure. Play the chord and tap with your foot 4 beats. Move down to the F7 chord for 1 bar or measure. Play the chord and tap with your foot 4 beats. Finish with the C7 chord for 2 bars or measures. Play the C7 chord and tap with your foot 4 beats. Do this twice for a total of 8 beats. You are now playing basic blues piano! Work on moving from one chord to the next smoothly and without any interruption in your tapping out the beats. And of course, practice playing this blues progression in all 12 keys!

Merlin the wizzard


Merlin, sage from another world, was an inspired seer and mystic mage, a wise councilor and faithful friend to three kings. But for all his wisdom, was bewitched by the Lady of The Lake who turned his love to her own ends. She sapped his power and plundered his store of secrete knowledge, and when done, she bound him in stone by his own spells.
Merlin, sometime Myrddin, was the famous wizard in Arthurian mythology. So powerful was his magic that one medieval tradition credits him with the magical construction of of Stonehenge. Another of his works was supposed to be King Arthur's famous Round Table. Enchanter, wizard and prophet who oversees Arthur's conception and birth, enables his ascension and acts as high counsel to the King in the early phase of his reign. Merlin's role as a whole is that of advisor and scholar. His genius guides the realm. Geoffrey of Monmouth is responsible for the Merlin known to literature today. His name, "Merlinus,"
is a latinized adaptation of the Welsh "Myrddin" - the name of a late sixth century northern bard reported to have the gift of sight who predicted a Celtic uprising.
Merlin's birth was the subject of a strange story. Apparently, the Britons were told that a great fortress they had built would never be safe until the ground there had been soaked with the blood of a child who had no mortal father. Such a half-human sacrifice seemed impossible to achieve, until it was learned that a beautiful girl was with child by a demon. The child turned out to be Merlin, who, though baptized as a Christian, still possessed fabulous powers inherited from his demon father. Somehow the boy did not need to be sacrificed for the sake of the fortress because it is likely that Merlin was able to deal with the problem by means of magic. Two dragons, as a matter of fact were responsible for the problem.
There a various accounts of Merlin's death. One tells how the wizard forgot about the seat at the Round table that only Galahad could use, being the only knight worthy enough to see the Grail. Merlin sat down and was at once swallowed up by the earth. Another story blames the wizard's death on his passion for women. Either Viviane, possibly The Lady of the Lady, or Nimue, the daughter of a Sicilian siren, imprisoned him in an enchanted wood after Merlin had explained all about the secretes of his own magic. As Merlin told Sir Gawain, who once passed by: "I am also the greatest fool. I love another more then I love myself, and I taught my beloved how to bind me to herself, and now no one can set me free."
