STRATEGIC PLAN
Procedures, routines and beliefs that have been worn smooth by the passage of time can be great for efficiency but can lead to being out of date. Most business community and government agencies shine a spotlight on their practices every four years as a time to look back and assess the productivity, transparency and connectedness of the organisation within, and to its wider community. Assessment of effectiveness is built into the strategic plan.
Earlier this year we had a zoom meeting with Warwick Cavell and everyone had the opportunity to have their say about the direction that Port Phillip Rotary
should take. It was an exercise that was beneficial to those who have been members for a long time and also for others who were new to the club. It was
from there that we were able to develop a vision and goals. The purpose of strategic planning is to set overall goals and to develop a plan to achieve them. It involves stepping back from your day-to-day operations and asking where your business is headed and what its priorities should be. The strategic plan is now completed and the goals set out. That doesn’t mean it is set for life as every year it should be revisited and adjusted as goals are achieved.
Every four years it needs to go back to the club to assess and redo. It is a time for celebration of milestones achieved and a time to look at what were blockers in some areas.

We are now at the point of looking at the formation of committees to get the best results. The monkey survey that you were involved in showed us clearly
where your priorities lay and that has driven the outcomes for the formation of the committees. We will be asking you to put your name down against a
committee and then the committee can meet either on zoom or before a club meeting to put forward their priorities. From there a budget can be forwarded to
the board where monies can be allocated. I can’t thank Warwick Cavell, Leo King and Bronwyn Maddock enough for the time, wise council and support.
