🔴 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:

• Why is it important to know the skill levels of specialists in an organisation?

Why is it important to know the skill levels of specialists in an organisation?  Conduct skill mapping -mapping- how could it be done?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.
