Caredig Board Members Embark on Strategic Growth Journey at Annual Away Day
Caredig’s Board of Management recently came together for a pivotal two-day Strategy Away Day, aimed at preparing the organisation for future success while navigating current challenges. The event, held in a dynamic and collaborative setting, focused on two essential but seemingly opposing themes: risk appetite and growth. By exploring these dimensions in tandem, the Board laid the foundation for Caredig’s long-term strategic direction.
Setting the Course for the Future
The Board plays a critical role in ensuring Caredig remains well-run and forward-looking. During the Strategy Away Day, Board members examined how to enhance collective decision-making through a variety of interactive sessions. These allowed for rich discussion and analysis of potential growth opportunities for the organisation.
The highlight of the event was the Board’s unanimous decision to pursue a time-limited, impact-based experiment, prioritizing action over analysis. This mandate serves as a concrete step towards testing innovative growth strategies while keeping Caredig’s values and mission at the forefront.
A New Approach to Growth
Kirsten Achtelstetter, Chair of the Caredig Board of Management, expressed her excitement about the new direction:
“Adopting this mindset has been a journey in its own right for both Board Members and the Executive Team. I am thrilled to be able to participate in, and guide, this evolution. I cannot wait to see the results of this first targeted growth effort when we reconvene in six months’ time.”
The Away Day provided an invaluable platform for team-building, strategic thinking, and re-affirming Caredig’s commitment to good governance. The Board members left with a sense of purpose and clear next steps for the organisation’s growth trajectory.
Special Thanks
