Reflecting on the past can help when looking to the future. One way to develop the future of your programme is to take a look at how far the programme has come. Think about how the programme began and why sometimes this is the grounding force of the programme other times things have changed so much that the reason a programme started is no longer relevant to how it is run today.
This time of year is a perfect time for the programme to review their history before the busy time of AGMs and end of the financial year. Take a look at your strategic plan if you have one and see how far you have come and dream a little about where you would like to be. When planning your strategic plan envisage what you would really like your programme to look like and then set time frames around how you would like to see this made. If you dream big you will achieve big and realising how far the programme has come can really help look towards the future.
Some of the dreams of others include staff visiting other programmes to see how they are set up, attending training at the OSCAR Foundation Conference or overseas conferences,.increasing the technologies of the programme from digital cameras to laptop computer labs, offering lessons from swimming to guitars. Many programmes dream about building such a self contained venue or a new kitchen. If it is not written down on the programmes strategic plan, these dreams can get lost.
If your programme has been running for a while, find out a little bit about when and where it started getting a history of your programme can inspire a fantastic future for your programme.
