The SWIM Tools

Moving from Theory to Action: Six Practices of Effective Network Leadership

We have identified SIX underdeveloped network leadership practices that can help build network effectiveness and be markers to assess and maintain network health. We use these practices to strengthen the way networks work together.  We use these practices frequently throughout our planning process. 

Planning During Disruption

This tool is designed to help leaders explore ways to sustain long-term progress towards important goals while addressing immediate changes required by disruptions.  


Success Circle

This multi-purpose tool helps you become more systematic in approaching new projects, ideas, organization building and problem solving.  The tool encourages you to define your project and challenge, assess your readiness to undertake it, and then think systematically about how your organization will need to grow and change to be ready to succeed.
