Strategic objectives are not achieved by accident

The programme consists of those changes we want to make to drive us forwards as an organisation. Those changes that will optimise the way we work to help us protect our core business, giving us the capacity to diversify into new and emerging markets where we can promote what we believe in, and expand our ability to influence behaviours.

The programme also contains those changes that we ‘must do’. Those changes where we have to comply to external forces often outside of our direct control. And finally, it covers those changes that pop up. Those changes that just emerge throughout a year simply because few things stand still indefinitely.

The Transformational Change Programme is about putting an umbrella over all of these projects and providing them with a point of contact to help resolve issues, remove barriers and enable the success. It’s about providing an inclusive platform for effective collaboration between project teams, and most of all it’s about making sure we all realise the benefits of change (ensuring we don’t do change for changes sake).

Programme Management is the action of carrying out the coordinated organisation, direction and implementation of a dossier of projects and transformational activities to achieve outcomes and realise benefits of strategic importance to the charity

In reality, as an organisation we aren’t afraid of change, in fact we are very good at embracing it. Cinolla and the bookings review project is a change that has been driving us forward since 2016. FSC regularly adapts to radical curriculum change across the UK, and then there are things like GDPR, both of these are types of change we had to comply with. The deployment of the new accident and incident reporting system, RIDDOX, is an great case of an emergent change that’s brought efficiencies to our working practices recently, and another example is how we are already responding to the growing interest in food choices and the climate. So as you can see, change is normal, it’s happening within and around FSC all the time. Over the coming years, everyone has a role to play in the transformational change of FSC and everyone can be part of the success.
