Membership Strategy and Governance

Membership organisations are under pressure to justify subscription fees and provide valued services to an increasingly diversified membership.

Often the services which consume the most resource, such as lobbying, are least recognised by members, but are essential for raising Government support for the sector.

With limited resources available, it is therefore essential to set some clear, measurable objectives and to clarify the roles and responsibilities of the various officers within the organisation.

We use our proven strategic development approach, to facilitate workshops with your management team or board, using some simple tools and techniques to help you achieve develop an effective strategic plan for your organisation.

This plan will define a longer term vision, which will be broken down into prioritised and manageable tasks for the year ahead.

Responsibilities can then be assigned and appropriate measures determined to monitor and report on progress, using Balanced Scorecard Principles and One Page Reports.

The results will include:

• A common understanding of the role of your organisation
• Clarification of roles and responsibilities
• Criteria by which to prioritise activities
• Manageable impact when there is a change of officers
• More structured meetings, geared towards delivering objectives

We have helped numerous membership organisations to undertake strategy reviews and develop and implement effective strategic plans.
