Business plan to be placed on website
The Royal Pharmaceutical Society’s business plan is to be placed on the Society’s website, the special
Council meeting heard.
The business plan was presented to the Council by Rob Darracott, director
of corporate and strategic development. He said that it is the work programme
for the organisation as it is now. It relates to what colleagues are
working on, based on decisions taken around the Council table in the
past.
In any year the new Council, at its June meeting, receives a full progress
update. Last year the Council received a version of this document, but
largely just the objectives, presented without context and without further
supporting material. In future it is intended to produce an update at
every Council meeting so that the Council can monitor progress across
the major activities of the organisation on a regular basis.
The business plan would sit alongside, and be an integral part of, the
budget process. The development of the 2006 plan internally was already
in train. Senior managers would be rolling forward the work programmes
into the draft business plan at the same time as initial budget papers
were put together.
A strategy session at the end of June would provide the Council’s
main input into the development of this plan. The objective in the 2006
plan would be grouped under specific strategic objectives agreed by the
Council. The vision, the mission, the strategic objectives and the actual
objectives of the organisation would flow together within the business
plan to deliver the Council’s strategic priorities.
