+  strategy & 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 valued (or 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.

Using appropriate tools and techniques in facilitated workshops with your team, we can help you achieve this by developing an effective strategic plan for your organisation.

This will define a longer term vision for the association, 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 the association
+ 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 provided some case studies below of how we have successfully used this approach with other membership organisations.
