Welcome! This is a survey developed by the P3 Lab at Johns Hopkins University alongside our report, “Understanding Strategic Capacity in Constituency-Based Organizations". The report and this survey are designed to equip organizations to assess their own strategic capacity—while simultaneously contributing to broader learning within the movement about the state of strategic capacity across the movement.
 
What do we mean by “strategic capacity”? Strategic capacity is the ability of an organization or movement to adapt to changing power dynamics in ways that help it move closer to achieving its goals. Given that strategic capacity is inherently connected to shifting terrains, there’s no straightforward process to building it. Instead, it’s about making choices around two big areas: the ability to learn and adapt your resources to meet the moment.
 
A first step in building strategic capacity is taking an honest look at how you’re doing already and identifying which areas are most important for you to focus on. This assessment is designed to do just that and is expected to take 30 minutes to complete.
