At the September Board meeting, the Board agreed to a new Three Year Strategic Plan as well as a 2019 Business Plan.

The Three Year Strategic Plan presented to the Board for consideration featured the following four strategic objectives, deliverable between 2019 and 2021:

• Organisational Excellence
• Effective exit from the European Union
• Fit for purpose Register of Architects
• Strong Relationships

The 2019 Business Plan is divided into sections that relate to each of the four strategic objectives, and sets out the project work required in 2019 in order to meet the objectives over the three-year period.

Previously, we worked to 45 statements of priority and a business plan which combined operational core-work with strategic aims. These new streamlined documents will provide a clear and focused record of our plans for 2019 and beyond, and reduce duplication with other areas of reporting.

Core-business reports and updates will be provided to the Board via the published Key Performance Indicators, the bi-annual ‘Reporting to the Board’ paper, the reports from the committees of the Board and by exception reporting on risks.

Both plans are in the process of being finalised, before being added to our website for all to access. In the meantime you can access Item 5 of the September Board papers to view the draft versions that were presented to the Board.
