Course correction requires courage.
It takes courage and conviction to point out to incumbents across the voluntary sector that what has served well to get to today is not what will see us through tomorrow.
This journey hasn’t been easy, and is by no means complete, but has required us to reflect deeply on our core purpose as an organisation, challenge ourselves on the best way to achieve the highest possible impact, open up to building partnership and alliances in pursuit of problem solving, and then re-engineer our organisation to make that happen.
In pursuit of greater impact for young people, this has required us to navigate through uncharted waters beset with cross-currents and counter-incentives, and willingly embrace the leadership risk and vulnerabilities that come along with the journey.
