Eastside People helped the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS) refresh their 3 year corporate strategy and engage members with the process.

Summary

New three-year strategic plan document
Action plan and detailed costed programme
Outcomes Assessment
Design and delivery of a strategy workshop for Council and senior staff
Improved engagement in the strategy process from Council, staff and members.

Background

The Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS) is the professional body for scientists, support staff and students working in biomedical science. For over 100 years, they’ve made sure their members operate to the highest professional standards. From students to advanced practitioners with decades of experience, their members work at all levels in biomedical science. Most work in healthcare, but some are based in universities, veterinary laboratories and government agencies. They also have diagnostic companies as members, which helps them to keep up to date with the latest developments in technology and advances in scientific techniques.

We really enjoyed working with Eastside People as we developed our three-year strategy. They quickly demonstrated they understood our needs and identified great consultants to work with us, who led us through the process and offered challenge when we needed it.

Solution

Jo Munns was the Eastside People assigned consultancy project manager and she used several approaches to improve the engagement of the Council and IBMS members with the development of strategy.

These included:

Designing and implementing a strategy workshop for Council members and senior staff at the organisation’s annual away day
Reaching out to membership via social media to gain their input
Facilitating discussion between the internal team and the Council, taking the opinions of both into account.

Jo also completed an outcomes assessment to identify where the organisation was delivering and where there was room for improvement. All of this was used to put together and write a new three-year strategic plan that ensured the voices of all members were heard and that ownership for the document could be taken across the organisation.

A year into their new strategy, the then IBMS chief executive Jill Rodney reported that the organisation was benefiting from improved member engagement and an added vibrancy in their services. IBMS were particularly impressed by the match between the consultant and the organisational requirements, and this consequently led to IBMS requesting further consultancy services from Eastside People including a skills audit and a facilitation of a Board governance discussion.
