Charlotte Museum Trust Strategic Business Plan 2017
(Supporting the achievement of our Strategic Plan and Goals)
14 March, 2017
Introduction
This paper is informed by three key documents:
- Strategic Plan VII (Sept 2015)
- Business Plan 2016-2017
- Community Conversations Output (October 2016)
While the first two documents identify the aspirational goals at the time they were written it was felt there was a need to check their currency and achievability in the short term, and that maybe shorter term objectives need to be set to enable the achievement of the longer term vision.
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to set short term goals for the year and that will get us on the journey and establish a solid foundation, to achieve our long term goals.
The goals take into account the feedback from the ‘Community Conversation Outputs’ to ensure we remain relevant and focus on the right things.
Additionally, it is our intention to be accountable to our community of interest with regard to our progress in the achievement of these goals, to help us maintain focus, ensure ongoing relevance and as a source of new thinking.
Community Feedback
To obtain Community feedback on the objectives we circulated this paper and an invitation to attend a 2 hour workshop on Tuesday the 21 February from 6:00-8:00 pm at the Museum (8a Bentink St, New Lynn) to offer comments and input.
The session was structured as follows:
- Introduction to the paper 20 mins
- Feedback on the greyed out items of the Plan* 40 mins
- Identify anyone interested in assisting with the delivery of the Plan 20 mins
- Reflection & general discussion 20 mins
*Note: feedback was welcomed on all parts of the plan but the Management and Financial Security sections are considered things the Board must do so we are wanting to focus the Community time primarily on the aspects that they are likely to be directly impacted by or involved in
The plan on the following pages reflects that feedback.
Next steps
This proposal will be tabled at the next Board meeting (14th March) for discussion and ratification of the final version. Implementation planning will follow with a target of May to be underway.
