This document outlines a change action plan for a YMCA organization. It includes an analysis of the organization, recommendations for changes, and an implementation plan. Key recommendations include redefining goals, implementing a strategic vision, creating a new business plan, and improving community outreach. Metrics such as membership numbers, program participation, and funding levels will be used to evaluate the success of the changes. A timeline outlines the project phases for defining problems, analyzing the situation, designing and verifying changes, and implementing the new plan over 18 months.

Are you a stakeholder?
Any individual/organization who meets one or more of the
following criteria will be identified as a stakeholder:
How strong and committed are the persons/organization,
and how are they directly or indirectly affected by this
project?
Are there persons/organizations that can be increased
that hold a position from which they can influence the
project?
Does the person/organization have an impact on the
project’s resources (i.e., funding)?
Does the person/organization have any special skills or
capabilities the project will require?
Does the person/organization benefit from the project or
are they in a position to resist this change?
7. Measurement
Tools and
Evaluation
Criteria
The following cash flow spreadsheet provides an
estimate of the required income and expected costs
for a facility to achieve a robust ROI (5-10 percent
enrollment increase per year for 5 years)
BBM Consulting’s estimated ROI is based on systems
and structures that best support the CAP’s vision of
increased enrollment
Large investments in community programs and
marketing systems at the facility level would produce
the most rewarding ROI
YMCA’s ability to successfully lobby for increased
grants and donations is imperative for maximum ROI
Facility directors would promote a robust ROI through
increased recruitment efforts
9. Wages

Editor's Notes
By implementing these changes the YMCA will be differently by employees, stakeholders and community leaders. This can be the turnaround the organization has been waiting for.
Once stakeholders have been identified, BBM Consulting Services will categorize and analyze each. The purpose of this analysis is to determine the stakeholders’ level of power or influence, plan the management approach for each stakeholder, and to determine the appropriate levels of communication and participation each stakeholder will have on the project.
The balanced scorecard has been broken down into four driving components; financial, customer, internal business process, and employee learning and growth. Evaluation of each component is crucial. BBM Consulting Services recommends the YMCA use a balanced scorecard which allows the project team to translate the vision statements into identifiable objectives that can be measured. Recommendation for Not-for-profit organizations is to place the customer perspective at the top of the model (Cawsey, et al., 2006, p. 354) making it more important instead of having all four quadrants equal.
