Have not assessed formally, and skill level of staff/s is/are not known (Poorly developed)

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:

Skill level of fundraising professionals is not known.

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.

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.
