After completing your assessment, do a SWOT analysis of what you
and the partners in your network can contribute. A SWOT analysis
examines Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats.

||||||
Strengths
Start here. What are your existing strengths? What have you provided
before? What expertise do you have on your staff, among your partners
and in your immediate network?
Weaknesses
What have you never taught about before? What do you tend to neglect
in your own organization? Where do you lack experience?
Opportunities and Threats
If present, these exist outside of your organization and your partners.
For opportunities, ask questions like: What are nonprofit leaders
asking for? What needs in the community do donors want to address?
What grant opportunities exist? For threats, ask questions like:
How could the media hinder your work? Who is opposed to what you
have in mind? What would cause funding to dry up?
You are now ready to develop your strategy. Make sure you build on your strengths, find partners to cover weaknesses, capitalize on the opportunities and find ways to guard against any threats.
