Strategy Development
Strategy and planning are not the same thing - simply having a plan and calling it a strategic plan does not give you a strategy. Strategy involves designing a set of choices that lays out a logic as to how you will succeed in delivering the outcomes you want to achieve. A successful strategy answers the following key questions:
​​
-
What is our Vision / Purpose / Aspiration?
-
Where do we play? Which location, who are our customers, what programs and services do we offer and how do we deliver to our customers?
-
How do we create value that makes our programs and services attractive to our customers / members and to those who fund and support us?
-
What resources and capabilities do we utilise to deliver that value?
-
What are our management systems that reinforce and provide an advantage in how we create value for our community.
​
By working with you to answer these key questions we will help your organisation move beyond 'just planning' and develop a strategy that gives you a competitive advantage.
Business & Membership Model Development
In an increasingly competitive environment, it's essential that sporting associations and not-for-profits adopt a business growth mindset. We work with you to develop innovative strategies that are designed to grow membership, revenue and importantly, community impact. The day-to-day challenges of running your association make it difficult to think outside the box, and unlock those new opportunities that will help you grow and importantly, ensure your future sustainability. We have experience developing robust business models that capture new business and membership opportunities while aligning with your core purpose as a not-for-profit association.
Governance
Our governance services ensure there is alignment between your organisation's purpose and the systems and processes you have in place. We understand that good governance is complex and requires a shared culture, alignment in roles and responsibilities, and effective processes for making decisions, managing risk and the monitoring of the organisation's performance. We work with your organisation's board and management to ensure you are equipped to achieve success.
