Time
for a mid-year review. When
people are leading a community organisation and running at full pace, it can be
incredibly difficult to actually slow down long enough to review what you have
been doing and what you have achieved. But as difficult as it can be, it’s
vitally important to stop, take a deep breath and review your organisation's
performance over the first six months of the year. It’s like regularly
servicing your car. The car might appear to be running well but there is always
something that can be tweaked or realigned to improve performance. •
Review
your organizational mission and goals. We say this constantly but sometimes it
is a great place to start because it reminds everyone why your organisation
exists. •
Review
your annual plan and look at the goals you set and whether you have achieved
them or – if not – whether you are still on track to achieve them. •
Review
whether your goals have changed. Is there a valid reason for abandoning some of the
goals you set or do you need to re-focus attention on the main game. •
Try
rating your own performance and the performance of your group in achieving the group’s
2004 goals. •
Review
all the achievements you have notched up that weren’t in your plan or list of
goals for 2004. It’s important to review the unexpected challenges that
emerged and your flexibility
in being able to react and meet them. •
Review
where most of your time and energy went in the first six months. Have you been side-tracked
by an issue? If so is there anything you can do to stop it happening again? •
Now
re-rate your performance based on success in achieving planned goals and also
those unexpected successes achieved over the past six months. •
Analyse
the areas where you need to re-focus attention, change direction or totally
re-write your goals for the rest of the year. •
Now
take that information and feed it back into your processes so you can
concentrate on achieving
the most important goals during the remaining six months of the year. •
Tell
everyone what you have done. It’s a good opportunity to remind all your
stakeholders what you have achieved. |
