rationale… Before undertaking a collaboration, it is reasonable to undertake an honest assessment of your own abilities, so that you can form an appropriate team, and negotiate appropriate roles and responsibilities. SWOT analysis stands for Strengths; Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats.
Strengths In regards to the project you need to complete, what are your strengths?
- good at comprising and using people ideas to create an overall idea that we are all happy with.
- Im a good listener and will make sure everyone gets there say
- I will be loyal and will complete tasks on time, I will also show up to meetings if thats whats organised
- I will always try to keep pushing ideas
Weaknesses In regards to the project you need to complete, what are your weaknesses?
- sometimes I procrastinate
- I feel I lack knowledge on this topic brief and therefore struggle to come up with ideas
- I sometimes find it difficult working in a group with people I don’t know, i tend to work better alone so I know I will get the work done and can go on my own time schedule.
Opportunities In regards to the project you need to complete, what do you perceive is of particular interest, or presents an opportunity to extend your knowledge in a way that interests you?
- I myself love narrative and texts for me I want to come out of this course and go into Film and TV so for me this overall area is a particular interest for me
- Secondly this is a topic that we have already gone through both in Media 1 class and my Cinema studies class which is good because I have a knowledge of narrative and texts as an overall arch
- It also gives me the opportunity to really explore and delve into case studies and real topics in relation to texts and narratives
Threats In terms of your own personal situation, what risks do you identify which impede the completion of the project?
- I think what may be difficult is perhaps not fully understanding the topic and assessment brief and therefore feeling unable to contribute and assist to the discussion.
- As a new group I don’t know how we will work together, hopefully we are all motivated to do well. For myself I really am aiming for a high distinction so hopefully we we will all work together to do the best we can.
outcome As a result of performing the SWOT analysis, consider as a team how you will manage the range of skills available in the group.
