commitment by the partners.
In linkage, the relationship between partner organizations is quite
loose, while in networking, it is much stronger, usually because the
groups and agencies have common objectives and beneficiaries.
Networking is basically extending the outreach of the resources in
different ways so as to increase the effectiveness of the program.

establish social relations

born

13. b. Peers – we met them through our family
(family, friends, acquaintances of siblings,
neighbors), while others we meet on our own
(classmates, officemates, church mates, etc)
- They can provide help not provided by family.

14. c. Contacts – provide things neither our
families nor friends provide

by generals and are necessary to win battles

how each part and their relationships with each other result
in the world.

20. Strategic Analysis

21. SWOT ANALYSIS
- An incredibly simple, yet powerful tools to
help you develop your strategy.
SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses,
Opportunities, and Threats.

22. How to Conduct a SWOT Analysis
What do you do well?
What are your goals?
Where do you need to
improve?
What obstacle do
you face?

23. Strengths and Weaknesses – internal things
that you have some control over and can charge.
Opportunities and Threats – are external, things
that are on the outside. You can take advantage
of opportunities and protect against threats, but
you can’t change them.

24. INTUITIVE THINKING
- The kind of thinking that helps you understand
reality in the moment, without logic or analysis.
There’s no language involved in it, either. It’s
entirely about signs and sensations. Most of the
time, it goes against whatever we might think of as
“rational”. It is more of familiarity and experience.

25. Intuition
- Is a form of knowledge that appears in
consciousness without obvious deliberation. Hunches
(“kutob”) are generated by the unconscious mind
rapidly sifting through past experience and cumulative
knowledge.
