The ability to successfully interact with others is a universal skill you will consistently use in your career. Both SWOT and SOAR analyses can help grow these kinds of skills. A SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis is a common framework used by organizational and business leaders to strategically evaluate and improve the impact, performance, and success of an organization, from both an internal and external perspective. In contrast, a SOAR (strengths, opportunities, aspirations, and results) analysis engages all components of an organization (including the individual level) to positively enhance and improve internal performance and productivity.
In this summative assessment, you will complete a SOAR analysis to assess and highlight aspects of your individual identity, focusing on your personal diversity values, beliefs, knowledge, and worldviews to demonstrate how awareness can positively impact your development specific to diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Becoming aware of your individual identity provides an opportunity to build your interpersonal communication skills meant to assist you with successfully interacting with others. This assignment will allow you to demonstrate how effectively you can explain how awareness of beliefs, biases, and attitudes affects organizational culture and communication related to issues of diversity and inclusion.
