Your learning goals?
The future of the market
More pressure, slimmer chances
Fewer programmes
Shorter commitments. Less risk
More proactive partnering
“You’ve been
looking at the cash
flow projection
again haven’t
you”
Strategic Options
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Consultation
More consultation, more user control
“How do you know this project is needed and how does it fit with other projects in your area?”
“How have children and young people influenced how you planned this project, and how will they continue to be involved in how your project is run?”
How have you consulted with the people and organisations who will benefit from your project and what did you find out?
Examples of consultation include:
● community surveys
● focus groups
● public meetings
● discussions with other organisations of the wider community.
You need to tell us who you have consulted and when you talked to them about your project.
Consultation should be less than two years old. If you can’t consult with the people that you want to help, tell us why. We also want to know how:
● your project has been influenced by what people have told you
● you know that the people you want to help will use your project.
Change
More bang for their buck
These things, we can do something about …
• Consultation and User Control
• Developing exemplar projects, perhaps in partnership, to address root causes and/or change policy
• Long term forward planning to target a specific trust fund
So what does this mean for you?
• Longer planning/consultation timeline• More flexibility• Better measuring, monitoring and evaluation
systems• Greater creativity and innovation• Better marketing, branding and positioning

Communication
Getting the balance right – Take 2

Message from Planet ZogRe: Annual Report text
Dear Mark
I’m not entirely sure that the text for the annual report Section ‘New Directions’tells the whole story. Could you therefore replace the text:
‘We work together in partnership with other organisations to create and delivereducational and learning opportunities for local people.’
With:
‘The shift in strategic direction is encapsulated in the conceptualisation of theAction Zone, which is an holistic, integrated action research response to tacklingproblems of social disadvantage inner cities through learning.’

Orwell’s Golden Rules of Writing
“Ask ‘what am I trying to say? … Ask ‘could I
have put it more shortly? … Never use a
figure of speech that you are used to seeing
in print … Never use a long word when a short one
will do … If it is possible to cut out a word, always
cut out a word … Never use jargon if you can think
of an everyday equivalent”
George Orwell
