tot 2 A SWOT ANALYSIS Analysis of Organizational Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (Individual or Team Game) You are the newly appointed warden of the Cedarville County Jail. Because there are many problems existing in the jail administration in Cedarville, you have been brought in as a "change agent." You have come to your position from a previous position in Illinois in the same capacity. You are known there for being an "entrepreneurial and transformational leader. You will bring with you part of your strategic management team---your deputy warden for human resources and your deputy warden for administration. The jail in Cedarville is a recently built incarceration facility with the latest in security technology and inmate housing for the two separate parts of the jail-Adult Offenders Incarceration Facility and the Juvenile Facility. The physical space serves as a model for this type of incarceration facility, There is willingness on the part of the county government to put additional revenue and resources into the facility to make it work; you have a honeymoon period of two years to do this. Among the issues raised in your appointment documents as CEO to this facility, are the following: Security issues and keeping inmates inside the prison is the paramount concern. Beyond this, strategic management needs to be strengthened with additional talent in the area of financial management. The accounting system is in disarray There are employee morale problems, Officers are not properly trained in the use of restraint and safety techniques.

The organization could outsource (privatize) gardening, laundry, and janitorial services more cheaply than what is provided in-house through work. There will be a state review of how the juvenile offenders are managed in Cedarville. If there are continuing problems in this area, the state is considering a voucher program to enable juvenile offenders to be moved to the Catholic Juvenile Male Institutional Facility, a non-profit organization outside Cedarville, or to the Raleigh Institution for Young Men, a private detention center in Cedarville. If the review is bad, the Cedarville jail stands to lose a substantial portion of its budget. Conversely, if the state review shows that juveniles should be retained at Cedarville, the state and federal governments will kick in with substantial grant-in-aid funding. The county supervisors want you to accomplish the following major strategic tasks within your first three months in office. YOUR ASSIGNMENT Al Develop: 1. Mission Statement 2. Strechal Couls 3.
