We are having a hard time developing any solutions until we know if we are going to work with our capacity and keep doing what we are doing Or are we going to become like a Transcend or a Knowledgeworks, etc.

While we are clear on the vision, we really do not provide and service or product (except the course) that outside groups would "purchase"

# data[].attributes.body
We lack the people to really carry our the communication needed to advance the mission and create a social media presence, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
The great resources and tools we have (including the Institute) are not accessed or used by those deeply involved in the work or just starting. This is due to the fact that there is not a team of people fully committed to promoting and supporting the MCL Vision and getting the tools and resources into the hands of practitioners.

The work of the Alliance is not anyone's full-time job...we have competing responsibilities.

Theme: We do not have staff and funding to actually carry out the work of the Alliance.

After researching our work over the last several years I found that we have written and rewritten our strategic direction documents. I don't think we have been intentional enough about leveraging our collective capacity.

*  Limited capacity to brand and accelerate MCL (website; communication; acquiring funding)
*  Being brave here:  do we pretend to agree with what's on the table; and then return to our own vision/work which may not be aligned with the discussed focus for MCL....the reality that each organization has to maintain it's own solvency and so  work/products might actually be in competition of each other.  Sometimes I just have a funny feeling . . . may just be me.  Again, being brave here.

External Funding
Staff, including communications and grant writing
Structures to leverage  $:: Non-profit status, financial history, social media presence
Expanded exemplars of MCL

Limited funds

No demonstration sites (appears to others that it is still experimental)

Long term implementation (not really a weakness but scares off some wanna be's)

Difficult to mobilize

Tons of great resources but not easily available

Most have full time jobs with no full time paid staff

Communication out to the educational and political community. Branding ourselves

We don't follow through with some of our great ideas sometimes. We get busy with our own organizations.
