We also recognise that people in organisations are no longer confined to one area of operation. We are able to cover all bases and integrate our training and support at all levels, from board to front-line. Let's just imagine... ...that you are the CEO or senior manager of a voluntary sector organisation that grew out of a grassroots problem. The solution your founders proposed attracted considerable funding, and the ethos was all about doing things in an ad-hoc way, being totally flexible and it felt great! But then the funding dried up. A couple of key board members left, and the rest struggled to find a clear direction. Budgets got tight and services went through a feast and famine cycle. Letting staff go or relying on short-term employment contracts that were linked to specific pieces of funded work. Repairs to building and equipment were put on hold because there was no financial certainty and you were left relying on outdated technology, writing bids for new computers and printers whilst your services were being curtailed. Staff all stressed out and volunteers hard to recruit. Any of that familiar? Or possible?
Strategy helps you know where you need to go. Management helps you get to where you are going Teams make sure that everyone gets there together! (We won't send you SPAM! And we won't pass your details on to any other organisation)  |
