Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats or SWOT analysis is a powerful tool that when used properly can lead to immediate and sustained organizational change.  Mr. Eugene has led several teams through intense SWOT training producing SMART results.  For example, one client transformed the maintenance of their physical plant as a result of the feedback from the SWOT analysis.  Another, client was successful in promoting student programs that had been previously overlooked but represented a unique aspect of the school and its curriculum.  Today, the SWOT analysis can serve as a prelude to the Effective School/District Framework process, helping districts target where they are while uncovering pitfalls and potential.
