The "Building a Community Roots Programme" strategy is designed to empower local CEOs by providing comprehensive support across various crucial domains such as HR, risk and compliance, fundraising and finance, and communications and marketing. The strategy outlines three main approaches: facilitating resource sharing, developing agile and adaptive strategies, and strengthening local partnerships.
Facilitating resource sharing involves creating platforms for resource exchange and setting up meet-ups and digital libraries to enhance collaboration among CEOs. This approach includes workshops, mentorship programs, and feedback surveys to measure effectiveness. For example, a buddy system encourages CEOs to share best practices, fostering a collaborative community spirit.
Developing agile strategies is achieved through needs assessment studies and identifying industry trends by a dedicated task force. This approach emphasizes flexible, scalable plans and cross-sector collaborations. CEOs are encouraged to adopt adaptive leadership skills to remain resilient in a dynamic business environment, supported by training and risk management guidance.
Strengthening local partnerships focuses on connecting CEOs with potential local partners via networking events and referrals. A partnership framework is established to define roles and responsibilities, and shared projects are encouraged to bolster community initiatives. Success is measured through feedback loops, ensuring ongoing relevance and efficacy of the partnerships.
