WO Strategy: the communication and space-related weaknesses may be corrected by
requesting more support from the local authority in education (the school inspectorate)
and the community (sponsorships).
WT and ST Strategies: Motivated and professional team of counsellors, qualifications,
and commitment are the key elements of the centre. The extensive network of
professional relationships (collaborations, training providers and beneficiaries) both in the
country and abroad counteracts the threats from the private competitors. These defence
strategies can only be applied in extreme situations, when the very existence of the centre
would be threatened.
Third stage: Deliberation, decision-making and development of an action plan
On applying the offensive strategy, the Centre drew up an action plan meant to ensure
success in the long run (becoming a legal entity, financial support and communications
equipment, taking part in national and international projects and programmes as promoter
or partner).
