Why should we practice Awareness?
We can sometimes lose sight of how external influences affect our organisation and the importance of being able to adapt. A prime example is the impact of Covid-19.
Encourage your organisation to stay up to date with regards to understanding the local, national, social, political and economic context that we work in. This brings an awareness to how and why your work is needed.
Practicing awareness not only improves your understanding of the wider sector that you work in (for example, what are other organisations doing in a similar or complementary way to you) but will also ensure that your activities remain relevant and effective.
So encourage your team to make time to regularly monitor potential challenges, threats and opportunities, and discuss how or if your organisation is able to respond.
How do you practice Awareness in your team and has it helped you spot opportunities or challenges?
