🔴 Have not assessed formally, and skill level of staff/s is/are not known

Poorly developed: Skill level of fundraising professionals is not known.

Reflection:

• No response required as we have high level skills and expertise both.
• Why is it important to know the skill levels of specialists in an organisation? 
• Conduct skill mapping - how could it be done?
• Are our staff selection process very well developed to understand the skill set a candidate comes with; do we know well about the skill requirements for each position?
• Cannot map skills as fundraising function operates via a voluntary system (by board, founder etc.).
• Others -

Action:

• No action necessary now.
• No action required immediately but we will consider conducting periodic skill assessment as part of organization people development plans.
• Shall find out means to conduct a proper skill mapping and subsequent capacity building.
• Others -

Notes for Development:

1. Skill level of fundraising professionals is not known.
   
   
2. It will be useful to develop deeper understanding on specific capacity and skill development needs of fundraising staffs; fundraisers may run the risk of working in isolation and stagnation as well.
   
   
3. Consider conducting a technical and management skill assessment of all fundraising staffs; this will help in developing a long-term development plan for the team.
