How are decisions made in your organization?
Decision making is where things happen in an organization. Decisions have the power to impact the wellbeing of members, the financial sustainability of the organization, our environment and the organization’s ability to achieve its purpose.
Involve members in decision making
| What is holding you back? | Opportunity |
|---|---|
| Lack of representation and inclusivity | Members are the lifeblood of any membership organization. Value their diverse perspectives and ensure their needs and interests are taken into account. Create a sense of inclusivity, ensuring that decisions reflect the collective voice of the membership. |
| Low member engagement and satisfaction | Foster a sense of ownership and engagement. When members have a say in shaping the organization's direction, policies and initiatives, they are more likely to feel invested and satisfied with their membership experience and contribute more. |
| Quality of decisions | Members often possess valuable expertise, insights, and experiences that can contribute to decision-making. Involving members ensures a broader range of perspectives and information, leading to more informed and well-rounded decisions. |
| Relationships and loyalty | Build trust, transparency, and stronger relationships between the organization and its members. Demonstrate that member opinions matter and their contributions are valued, leading to increased loyalty and commitment. |
| Organization relevance and effectiveness | Help your organization stay relevant and responsive to the changing needs and expectations of members. Ensure decisions align with the interests and priorities of the membership, and increase the organization's effectiveness and impact. |
