LOCAL EVENTS
Every organisation needs a strategy. The external environment is constantly changing; funding sources, competition,
government priorities, technology and stakeholder expectations. Through it all your organisation has to steer a course to
deliver the greatest value with limited resources. How do achieve that? Well that’s where a good strategy makes all the
difference.
Meet your Trainer – Del Redvers
The course will be delivered by Del Redvers, Head of Sustainability for BMT Group (a global engineering consultancy). Much
of his time is spent working with private sector company boards developing strategy and the leadership skills necessary to
drive a successful organisation. He has previously worked as a management consultant but understands through experience
the challenges of the voluntary sector. He spent 5 years as the CEO of charity and has served as a trustee and advisor on
many charity boards. http://www.bmt.org/careers/our-people/del-redvers/
Creating a Fairer Scotland
Tuesday, 27 October 2015 from 12:00 to 14:00
The Scottish Government recently launched ‘Creating a Fairer Scotland’.
People across the country are invited to have your say on what a fairer
Scotland should be like and what can be done to make this a reality. The start
of this is asking the people of Scotland what they want and need. These views
will feed into a Fairer Scotland action plan which will set out what a more fair
and equal Scotland will be like and how, together, we can achieve it.
This is your opportunity to join in the significant conversations taking place, contribute your views and help shape a fairer
Aberdeen and fairer Scotland for all.
Please come along and over a networking lunch discuss and share views regarding aspects such as:
• What are the issues that matter most to you?
• What do you think needs to be done to create a fairer Scotland?
• How can you, your organisation and community play a role in helping to shape our future?
