2 Structure IFHP: SWOT s facing us in 2008 Products: new and old Global themes The strategy: how to we get to be 100

3 IFHP 2008 Opportunities Global themes, common problems Reputation + improvement Website upgrading (inter) active member network Better products, marketing, sponsoring and fund raising Family feeling; involve members Projects Win-win cooperation possibilities Long term repositioning strategy (global & continental institutions) Threats Do people need an information exchange organisation in a Google era? Doing nothing with results of products: use it or lose it! (information implementation!) Too much dependency on traditional sources of income (membership, congresses) Other organizations fish in the same pond; urban-rural split Too European

4 Flagship Product: World Congress Top class, varied speakers Interesting & attractive locations, global variation Informative excursions (implementation!) Open to young professionals/experts/ students; from developed, developing & underdeveloped countries 1000 attendees as target; meeting place / market

5 Product 2: IFHP annual conferences More experimental, innovative, raising new issues Complementary with congress, Outcome of some research study, actual topic or generated project results Combined with / support of other continental / global organizations (UN, World Bank, EU, Asean etc) or goal (Cultural capital Europe)
