PR Vision Sandbox

The PR committee's regular meeting on May 9, 2009 has been set aside to be a long-term strategic planning session.

This page is a place to hold discussion to this end.

OK! Go!

Check out the PR Plan page to see where this discussion was left last.

Here's a blank SWOT we can populate:

SWOTs

A place to throw around as many SWOTs as needed. The first one I'm starting is specific to PR's role in building Community Partnerships.

Please define a goal for this SWOT

	Good (for Free Geek)	Bad (for Free Geek)
Internal (to Free Geek)	Strengths: Strengths are advantages we have that are internal to Free Geek and helpful to achieving the objective. (Good things we do.) We offer both recycling/green program, and social service element; can tailor message to meet partners' needs Many great stories available regarding grant recipients	Weaknesses: Weaknesses are problems we have that are internal to Free Geek and harmful to achieving the objective. (Things we do poorly or not at all.) Data Security is a work in progress
External (to Free Geek)	Opportunities: Opportunities are advantages we have that are external to Free Geek and helpful to achieving the objective. (Good things that will or could happen to us.) Great cred. in the community; we've given stuff to so many groups, so we already have an "in" with all of them. Ongoing discussions with potential community partners Many groups contacting us about potential events Existing City partnership has excellent potential for PR	Threats: Threats are problems we have that are external to Free Geek and harmful to achieving the objective. (Bad things that will or could happen to us.) We're scrappy, which is great. May be off-putting to corporate-types
