Advising On Future Strategy At Save The Children

Earlier this year Integrity’s Head of Operations, Lauren Pett, spent two weeks advising the Program Operations department in Save the Children International culminating with the facilitation of a two day Strategic Vision Workshop. The Program Operations department is a new group emerging from a major restructure of the Save the Children family and has a fundamental role in ensuring Save the Children can deliver high quality, effective work.

The purpose of the assignment was to help ensure that the department’s role and function is well understood by its core stakeholders in the future, following its central and evolving role during the actual restructure process.

The in-depth workshop focussed on developing the strategy and vision to allow the department to clearly define its roles and responsibilities, articulate those clearly to stakeholders, identify risks and opportunities, and outline ambitious targets for success in 2015. The end result was a coherent plan for the department to excel and a motivated team who felt they understood and could better support each other.
