The Client
The Royal Female School of Arts (RFSA) Foundation is a charity currently providing grants for students and arts outreach programmes through nine academic institutions in the Greater London area, with the objective of widening access to arts education within the region.
The Client's Problem
The Foundation required assistance with the creation of a new mission statement and strategy for the future of the charity, to better enable the organisation to focus its resources more effectively and efficiently.
The Solution
The OR Society volunteer produced a Facilitators Notes and Observations Report to assist the foundation with work to take things forward. The foundation then used this document and other outputs generated during the course of the strategy workshop (mainly flip charts) to produce a Strategy document and accompanying Strategic Plan 2019-2024.
The Benefits
The RFSA Foundation now has a strategy and strategic plan that has been derived in a collaborative way by members of the Board of Trustees. This should enable work to proceed to deliver the desired outcomes, that is, more effective and efficient services to the beneficiary community over the timescale of the strategic plan. The outputs from this project could also be used to help generate additional income streams for the Foundation.
