THERE ARE THREE MAIN PHASES TO THE STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT PROCESS;

1. UNDERSTANDING THE ENVIRONMENT

Exploring through research, interviews, horizon scanning and extensive consultations with National Societies, what the world will bring to our doorstep in the next 10 years, including how other organisations and governments are adapting to this emerging future.

2. OUR AMBITION

Using a design approach and building off the trends analysis, develop visions of how we will operate in this emerging future. Explore our role, how we organize and structure ourselves, what areas we could focus on. Build design principles for an organization that can be successful in the coming years.

3. OUR PATH – GETTING TO THERE FROM HERE

Articulating the form and content of the Strategy, developing key focus areas and indicators, to achieve our ambition. Presenting drafts, seeking feedback and iterating to the final version.

TIMELINE

All stages of the process employ a Double Diamond approach, continuously opening up to explore and then narrowing into potential solutions, testing and iterating with stakeholders in the process.
