Organisational change
ChangeOptions works with organisations to bring about changes through:
Future-proofing
Identifying what is changing in the external environment will help you keep competitive. We encourage you to see the bigger picture and how this might impact on your organisation and your services in the future.
Strategic planning
Creating a clear vision of where you want to be and the difference you want to make, helps to focus effort. We want to involve staff, volunteers, trustees and other interested parties in planning the future direction of your organisation.
Partnerships and collaboration
Collaborative working can create opportunities, strengthen partners, and ensure a sustainable future for your organisation. For us, partnership is about building on shared expertise and finding common values and purpose for the benefit of the partners and their clients
Business reviews
Appraising work practices and internal/external reporting processes are some ways to ensure that your organisation continues to be efficient and effective. We observe, inquire and challenge from an objective viewpoint and, where appropriate, work with you to bring about improvements.
Examples:
- A series of joint events for chief officers and trustees of eight local charities as the starting point for developing collaborative countywide working
- An away day for staff, trustees and volunteers of a CVS to review their local profile and develop business plans
- A programme of workshops for voluntary organisations and public sector commissioners to develop a consistent and accessible approach.
- Exploration of joint working opportunities for two CABx, including a district wide needs analysis, and draft memorandum of understanding
