The document discusses board governance at a student union (SU). It explains that a board is the governing body of a non-profit and outlines two types of board models - policy governance and administrative governance. The SU uses a policy governance model where the board sets policy, hires a general manager to implement it, and oversees operations, while staff carry out daily work. The board has three responsibilities - fiduciary duty to act in the organization's best interest, strategic role in setting goals and advocacy, and generative role envisioning future opportunities. Examples show how these roles apply to budgeting, events, and advocacy versus direct service provision.
The document discusses the benefits of using a facilitator for strategic planning, including allowing everyone to participate, having a neutral party to ask tough questions, and controlling the time and tempo of meetings. It then provides an overview of the strategic planning process, which involves determining an organization's current situation, creating a vision and priorities for the future, and identifying goals and initiatives to work towards the vision. The document concludes by outlining best practices for strategic planning and costs for working with the facilitator presenting on developing an aligned strategic plan.

Assessment of the potential and challenges of microfinance institutions (1)Habtamu Tezera
This document is a thesis submitted by Biruk Tadesse Woldearegay for a Master's degree in Environmental and Energy Management at the University of Twente in the Netherlands in December 2010. The thesis assesses the potential and challenges of Ethiopian microfinance institutions to enable household uptake of biogas through Ethiopia's National Biogas Program. Through a literature review and survey of seven microfinance institutions, the research finds that Ethiopian MFIs have limited capacity and lack awareness about biogas. They would struggle to participate in the biogas program without further support. The thesis recommends the government provide initial, gradually decreasing funding support to MFIs and facilitate knowledge sharing to build capacity for their involvement in financing domestic biogas

Practical eLearning Makeovers for EveryoneBianca Woods
Welcome to Practical eLearning Makeovers for Everyone. In this presentation, we’ll take a look at a bunch of easy-to-use visual design tips and tricks. And we’ll do this by using them to spruce up some eLearning screens that are in dire need of a new look.
5. What is strategy?
• How an organization
meets its needs and
objectives
• Strategy helps to:
– Establish priorities
– Choose actions
– Create a plan
– Allocate resources
– Be proactive
6. What is a strategic plan?
• A document that says
why an organization
exists, what it aims to
do, and how it will do it
• It helps to focus the
organization’s vision
and priorities
7. Strategic planning does not…
• Predict the future
• Replace good leadership and judgment
• Follow a smooth, straightforward process
A strategic plan is a living document — you can
adapt it as needed!
16. SWOT
Internal
Strengths
• What do we do well?
• What internal resources do we
have (knowledge, reputation,
skills, things)?
Weaknesses
• What could we do better?
• What do we lack?
• Do we have limited resources?
External
Opportunities
• What opportunities can we take
advantage of?
• Is there a great need for
services we can provide?
Threats
• Do we have any competitors?
• Do we face any challenges that
make it hard for us to do our
work?
17. Questions
SWOT
How do we use
our strengths to
take advantage
of
opportunities?
How do we
overcome our
weaknesses to
take advantage
of
opportunities?
How do we
overcome the
weaknesses
that make us
vulnerable to
threats?
How do we use
our strengths
to make us
less vulnerable
to threats?
21. Goals vs. Objectives
Goal
• A greater purpose
• A long-term outcome
• May not be easy to measure
[Example: Support NWT
residents to make healthy
lifestyle choices that reduce their
risk of cancer.]
Objective
• A specific, short-term action
that will contribute to
achieving a goal
• Must be measurable
[Example: Create a website
with accurate and current
information about cancer risk
factors.]
22. SMART objectives
Specific – Who? What? Where? How?
Measurable – How many? How can this be measured?
Achievable – Is it possible?
Realistic – Is it possible given our time and resources available?
Timebound – When?
Each objective should be written in precise terms that leave no room for
misinterpretation.
[Example: Within 12 months, we will team with the local health centre to
recruit at least 20 men and women for colorectal cancer screening.]
24. • Produce a document
• Develop an action plan and implement
• Monitor and evaluate
• Share progress
• Review and revise
• Share
Your new strategic plan will help to guide you in the difficult
decisions you have to make as a committee—it will help you
to identify the activities that best fit with your vision, mission,
goals, and objectives.
Moving forward
Editor's Notes
As the facilitator, feel free to use this section of the for your own notes.
This work can be done over a long period. At minimum, 2 days should be allowed for groups to work through these slides/tasks.
What is strategy?
Strategy is the path that takes us from where we are now to where we want to be.
Q: What is a strategic plan?
A strategic plan makes sure that all members of the organization are on the same page.
It answers:
Where are we now?
Where do we need to be?
How will we get there?
It is a written, decision-making tool.
Over time, an organization must monitor changes in the environment and assess whether its assumptions remain essentially valid.
Not a substitute for judgment or leadership: strategic planning can only support the intuition, reasoning, and judgment of the people involved.
Rarely a smooth, predictable, linear process: It is a creative process that requires flexibility as you work through its various phases – do not go in a straight line.
Iterative process—you can go back and forth.
There are different ways to develop and structure a plan—you have to do what is right for you. Typically, these are the components.
Be willing to question: Just because something has always been done that way, doesn’t mean it’s the best.
Produce a document: It is a symbol of accomplishment as well as a guide for your activities
Sometimes it helps to understand what a vision is by thinking about a newspaper headline. If you pick up the newspaper in three years, what do you want it to say?
You ask yourself: What does your committee want to achieve? What is your vision?
For example: Canadian Cancer Society Vision
Creating a world where no Canadian fears cancer.
Begin with the end in mind. The vision presents an image in words of what success will look like if the organization achieves its purpose.
Discuss the organization’s vision. These questions are key to developing your vision.
Define the vision.
The mission describes the overarching purpose of the organization—the reason it exists. Your mission statement answers the questions: Who are you, as an organization? Why do you exist? What do you do? Who do you serve?
Example: CCS Mission
The Canadian Cancer Society is a national, community-based organization of volunteers whose mission is the eradication of cancer and the enhancement of the quality of life of people living with cancer.
Do work in groups and all together to develop the organization’s mission.
Take an objective and critical look at the situation your organization currently finds itself in
The SWOT is a useful brainstorming tool for planning.
The SWOT helps you develop strategy by making sure you’ve considered all organizational strengths and weaknesses, as well as external opportunities and threats.
Strengths and weaknesses are internal (membership, leadership, reputation, structures) – you can change them over time with work
Opportunities and threats are external (other services in the community, territorial policies) – you can’t change them
Group work: Brainstorm and fill in the SWOT quadrants.
General idea behind every plan is:
How can we strengthen our strengths?
How can we overcome our weaknesses?
How can we use our opportunities?
How can we evade the threats?
Discuss and document. These answers become our strategies to achieve our objectives.
Before discussing priority setting, be sure that the group agrees on the right timeframe.
What would be manageable? Set priorities for one year from now? Two years? Five?
Look at external factors – do they affect the timeframe? Internal – do you have capacity to have a shorter or longer focus for now?
Agree on timeframe.
What do we want to achieve in our timeframe?
Exercise:
Individuals could write their priorities on sticky notes (one priority per sticky note).
They are then asked to choose their top three priorities.
Introduce the Impact-Effort Grid, which can be a useful tool when setting priorities. If something is difficult has will have little impact, why bother? If something is easy and will have a high impact, we should do it now!
If the Impact-Effort Grid is up on the wall, individuals can take their three top priorities and place them on the grid where they feel is appropriate.
The group can review and see how it looks.
Do we like what we see? Anything missing?
What does this tell us about our priorities?
**Objectives are usually achieved within the timeframe of the strategic plan – not necessarily the goals.
Based on the work we have done so far, what is our primary goal?
What are our objectives?
Work in groups and all together to develop goal and objectives.
