ADDITIONAL NOTES / GUIDANCE

1. Executive Summary

An executive summary is the door way to your business plan. It should grab the readers attention. The executive summary is a summary of your business plan, it needs to let the reader rapidly become acquainted with the contents.

2. Aims and Objectives

A mission statement communicates very succinctly the essence of the organization to its stakeholders and the public.

What we need to consider when developing a mission statement;

  1. What is the purpose of our organization (outcomes and results we want to achieve)?
  2. What business we are in (what we do)?
  3. For whom is our organization in business (who are our internal and external stakeholders)?
  4. What are our shared core values and beliefs (or guiding principles) that we practice in the delivery of our service?

Example of a Mission Statement

The RMIT Underwater Hockey club shall promote, organize and develop Underwater Hockey for all members, ensuring they have equal opportunity to play socially or competitively. The club will be an acknowledged leader at RMIT in terms of administration, development, participation, performance and profile.

3. Strategic Review

STRATEGIC REVIEW

A strategic review is a review of the clubs current / previous strategic plan & vision, its strengths and weaknesses in relation to future opportunities and threats.

When conducting a strategic review, the club should;

  • Take stock of the current scenario be actively undertaking a SWOT analysis.
  • Creating a time frame.
  • Recognise important events that occurred during this timeframe (achievements and challenges faced).
  • Recognise variables that could make or break the club.
  • Develop outcomes or pictures of the future.

STRATEGIC VISION

A strategic vision is a determination of ‘where we want to be’. The vision is a statement of our future. It sets the objectives to motivate our focused efforts. Example below;

  • For the RMIT Underwater Hockey club to develop a higher profile, is an attractive option, and has increased levels of participation.
  • Compete in a well developed and structured competition.
  • Recruit skilled and informed people to manage the development of the club.
  • Become the number 1 sport at RMIT in terms of participation.
