  8. Critical Success Factors • Catalysts need to exist • An event or events that provides the motivation • Individuals who have the energy and desire • Creation of a “win-win” situation • Active participation on both sides • Critical mass of participants to achieve the goal • Progress in a relatively short time period • Some mechanism for sustainability • Funding, people, PR, etc.

  9. Looking for That “Win-Win” Situation • Many companies look for opportunities to do good things • Individuals within companies may have a particular motivation to contribute • With increased competition for tax and charitable dollars and less staff to push activities, both sides need to see the return on their investment • Networks are important (you can’t get much done alone) • Even if a win-win situation doesn’t jump out, keep a dialogue going
