About the work
The session was designed to allow the board to step back from day-to-day operations and explore a shared long-term vision. The session was designed as a starting point, setting the foundations for a clearer theory of change and providing concrete next steps to complete the exercise.
The approach
The session used a flexible approach, giving the group time to explore, share and challenge the organisation’s purpose before considering the outcomes it wanted to achieve.
What the work produced
The day developed material on purpose and outcomes to inform a draft theory of change. The board left with a clearer, shared sense of the outcomes and impact they were looking to achieve and how to develop and test this thinking further with staff and stakeholders.
