Ensure your charity’s day-to-day activities and services are running like a well oiled machine by reviewing it’s activities and services as part of an organisational review.
Below are some questions to prompt you in your organisation’s review focusing on your organisation’s activities and services:
- Does the annual programme fit the strategy, focus on meeting objectives and the overall direction or mission of the organisation?
- Is there clarity between the core services, activities and projects the organisation is delivering?
- How does the programme relate to other organisations working in this part of the sector?
- Does the organisation have a robust rationale for its programmes? Is there evidence that programmes or projects are funding led?
- Do programmes or projects have interim monitoring mechanisms to enable progress to be checked regularly and enable reaction to the market and environment changes where appropriate?
- Are effective monitoring systems in place to enable the charity to assess at any given time whether it will achieve its objectives?
- Is there a system for the development, growth and replication of new programmes, products or services?
- Is there evidence of a system where programme outcomes can influence or affect (or have effected) change at a policy level?
- Do the strategies and programmes effectively meet the needs of target audiences? Are there mechanisms for receiving feedback from clients or beneficiaries?
- Is there evidence of the development of partnerships or strategic alliances?
- Do the strategies and programmes effectively manage issues of focus vs diversity?
- How does the organisation link with other organisations? Are there possibilities for partnership working? Has the organisation considered merging with other organisations?
