| Situation |
Australian Research Alliance for Children and Youth (ARACY) is a not-for-profit
organisation established to enhance the wellbeing and life chances of children and
young people in Australia. Founded in 2002, ARACY is an organisation that focuses on
trends in the wellbeing of Australia's children and young people. ARACY has over 300
member organisations across Australia and includes twenty four staff across offices
in Canberra, Melbourne and Perth. ARACY required the facilitation of a two day
strategic planning workshop. |
| Challenge |
The workshop brought together the entire ARACY team and identified the following outcomes:
- Organisational Strategy. Review the ARACY Strategic Plan and ensure staff understand
their role within the "big picture".
- Induction. This workshop provides ARACY an opportunity to welcome and induct new staff
including meeting key personnel, induction manuals, and head office location.
- Team Development. Investigate and collaborate on a range of tasks to build better working
relationships and strengthen team bonds.

| Response |
The O2C facilitation team used a variety of tools such as the Argenti Planning Method,
World Café and Appreciative Inquiry combined with our own unique activities to assist
ARACY staff identify the key aspects of their annual strategy. |
| Outcome |
The workshop provided ARACY with an operational blueprint for managers and staff to use
throughout the year as clear guidance as to their roles and tasks within the organisation. This
document complements the ARACY strategic plan. ARACY also identified the nature of their work
environment and how geography and function are issues that must be addressed to form a united
and coherent team. |
