  16. Assessing the Internal Strategy • Once you have established key partners and defined each responsibility, enter this on the Score Card template. • Assess who is “not at the table” that you think would add substantial value to your strategy. • Add them to the Score Card as “potential” partners. • Set a goal and come back to measure your success, 3, 6, 9 months later. • Use your successes to market your mission.

  17. Monitoring Internal Activities • Listing activities that your program and partners can actively achieve within a set time period - will helpmeasure where you are and where you would like the program to be six months from now. • For example, listing certain outreach activities can help measure who does what when, and/or what you hope to do, next month, next year.
