It Takes a Village Analysis Kickoff

Introduction

The ITAV Analysis Kickoff Planning Guide and Resource List provides all the materials needed for your program to plan and carry out a successful ITAV Analysis Kickoff Activity - an activity designed to help determine your program's current sustainability status, priorities, and capacity. After reading through the Planning Guide and getting a better feel for the Kickoff Activity and your program’s needs, you are free to modify the process to work best for your program. Some potential routes include:

• Carry out the Kickoff Activity as designed, using the samples and templates linked in this planning Guide.
  • Optional: Identify Kickoff Activities that can be completed asynchronously to accommodate programs with stakeholders who may find it difficult to meet for extended periods, reserving synchronous meeting time for discussions and decision-making.
• Identify a specific Facet your program would like to focus on and shorten the Kickoff to complete only the Core Data Activity and Analysis Checklist for that specific Facet.
• Determine that the level of planning described in this document and by the Kickoff Activity is not needed and move directly to the table of contents for each Toolkit Facet and choose Activities “a la carte.”
