Why do we need a Plan B
• But someone has moved the cheese
Because someone has moved the Cheese
Why do we need a Plan B
What is your cheese, and where does it come from
How has it moved?
Why do we need a Plan BThe more important cheese is to you, the more you want to hang on to it
Have more varieties of cheese – what percentage of your resources comes from just one source – rule of thirds
Can you take what you do and deliver it somewhere else
Why do we need a Plan B
The sooner you let go of the old cheese, the sooner you can find new cheese
Why do we need a Plan B
What is new cheese for you
Funding from trusts – small and large grants, don’t focus on getting what you want from just one grant Funding from local and national government Funding from companies – sponsorship Funding from individuals – donors, sponsors, legacies, young people Funding from other commissioned sources, health, juvenile justice Events Trading – selling services (make sure you have something to sell and that it is worth buying) Online funding – crowd funding, online giving
Why do we need a Plan B
Can you share your cheese with others
Get less of the cheese but more varieties of cheese through: Consortium working Partnerships Sub contracting Being spot purchased Through Personal budgets
Why do we need a Plan B
It is safer to search in the maze than remain cheese less
Can you work together to find new cheese and share the cheese you have
Why do we need a Plan B
Move with the cheese – adapt and change
Can you use less of the cheese you already have - New methods, new systems, new styles
• Different staffing models – volunteers, part time, sessional workers , apprenticeships, consultants, share staff with others
• Co – location – sharing premises and costs • Joined up back office and admin, payroll, finance, bidding etc
Why do we need a Plan B
Golden Rules
• Change happens – they keep moving the cheese
• Anticipate change – get ready for the cheese to move
• Monitor change – smell the cheese often so you know when it is getting old
• Adapt to change quickly – The quicker you let go of old cheese, the sooner you can find new cheese
Why do we need a Plan B
Golden Rules
• Change – move with the cheese
• Enjoy change – Savour the adventure and enjoy the taste of new cheese
• Be ready to change quickly and enjoy it again and again
• Because they keep moving the cheese
