We have teamed up with Cass to offer ‘Tools for Success Guides’ to 3SC members at the hugely discounted price of £15.00 including p&p (usually £30). The tools have been developed to help smaller CSO's to ensure the basics are in place for long-term sustainability, enabling them to be organisations in which others will want to invest.
The guides provide a modular pathway for small organisations to make a step-change towards sustainable improvement, the methodology enables organisations to:
- identify their capacity strengths and build on them
- identify their capacity gaps and fill them
- build capability to deliver their mission effectively
- demonstrate their sustainability to investors
Following an initial thorough self-assessment, the seven strands of Tools for Success allow organisations to focus on their individual development needs:
• Compliance – are we legal?
• Governance – can we demonstrate accountability?
• Direction – are we clear where we are going?
• Finance – do we have the right financial resources?
• People – have we got the right people and skills?
• Operations – are we effective?
• Networks – how good are our key relationships?
Tools for Success guides can be used on their own or with a tailored programme of expert support and workshops. Expert support provides a mix of face to face, telephone and email support to provide wide accessibility. The new workshop series will commence in January 2012.
