Main fundraising needs covered by some combination of internal skills and capacity (Developing)

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. Fair amount of confidence with present team capacity and skill.
   
   
2. It may be very useful for you to dig further and extract specific data on the degree of skills and capacity that exist.
   
   
3. Skills and capacity play different roles in providing an unique composite strength to a fundraising unit. It may be very useful for you to study the current balance of both (skill and capacity) in the present team.
