IHBC’s members and prospective members are asked to explore, scrutinise and feed back on the IHBC’s evolving Corporate Plan for 2015-20 – called ‘CP20’ – and let us know what we need to add, change or develop in our next five years of forward plans, while as the consultation is part of an on-going process for the coming months there is no closing date.
IHBC Chair Mike Brown said: ‘I am very excited about how things are progressing with our plan. Indeed I am very confident we’ll have it approved at the next AGM because it is evolving very much out of our current plan, which has already been so successful.’
‘That said, we are also including the new threads of work that have developed in recent years, as well as some that we can only as yet sense. With the 5 year ‘Action Plan’ for CP20 also part-populated in the draft, members can see how it will guide and help set priorities for action by the organisation as a whole: our members, volunteers, staff, trustees and beyond.’
‘So please be sure to feed back your thoughts on CP20 to your Branch committees and representatives, to our trustees, and to the IHBC’s officers in any ways that suit. That way we can all make this new plan as ‘fit-for-purpose’ as our current plan has proven to be’.
IHBC Director Sean O’Reilly said: ‘We have already delivered on more than 80% of our hugely ambitious targets from the last plan – CP10 – and it is not over yet. So we’re really looking forward to getting good feedback on this scoping draft to help shape our future services to members and to the sector as a whole.’
‘One cautionary note, though, is worth bearing in mind when considering the draft Action Plan. Any one person is unlikely to be familiar with all the initiatives listed there – not least as so many are in the earliest stages of development – so do please get in touch with me if you need to know more details. Before that, though, please do check out what we’ve said about these, using the search facility in our NewsBlogs. A simple search there should offer you a basic idea of what we are working on, even in the more nascent projects or programmes listed for actions.
