HELPING YOU IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES AND OVERCOME CHALLENGES

  • How does your front line work help you achieve your vision?

  • What does ‘success’ look like a generation from now?

  • How does your organization respond to issues in a consistent manner that reflects your values?

  • How is success measured?

  • How well do you understand the needs of your stakeholders, clients and/or employees?

  • Do you have policies and procedures in place that are well understood and being utilized consistently and effectively?

  • Are council and staff on the same page from day one in terms of understanding the rules and vision of the organization?
