Autumn 2007 - British Milers Club

A new BMC strategyFive Drivers to SuccessWhat does the BMC do?What is it purpose?What does it use to judge its success?Where do I fit in?How can this be communicated insideand outside the organisation?These are some of the questions thathave been asked over the years of theBMC and they are questions thecommittee have asked over recentmonths. It has been decided there is aneed to simply state what we do, whywe do it and how we measure what weare doing. It is easy to makeassumptions about what we do andshould do, both for those inside theorganisation and outside. It is alsoconsidered important that the club hasa point of reference, so that whoevercomes and goes, there is always someconsistency about what we should bedoing. We have therefore embarked ondrawing up a strategy to guide ouractivities over the coming years.What’s in it?We have established ‘Five Drivers’ thatwill form the framework for our strategy.Underneath these comes the detail andin essence the important bit. We arehalfway working through this detail andover the next six months we hope tocomplete this and publish the completedocument in the next BMC News.Your views?Have a look at the Drivers below andlet us know what you think.
