A struggling member may need skills, organization, or economic resources. The three needs can live together, but they are not interchangeable. The choice of the tool should start with the problem that prevents the activity from working and the conditions that could modify it.
At management level, I propose to describe what every intervention allows. A technical support can improve a process; a transfer of resources can cover a need without correcting its cause. The feasibility and discipline of each instrument requires a specific verification in the specific relationship.
In a hypothetical example, an assortment error generates slow stock. New resources to buy merchandise can only help if the selection changes. Support on purchases may be necessary to make economic support usable and limit the repetition of the problem.
The combination of instruments must maintain distinct objectives and proportionate verifications. The expected result concerns the operation of the activity, in addition to the intervention provided. This distinction helps the cooperative choose a relevant answer and explain why one instrument was preferred to another.
