Resource and performance Management in" rel="nofollow">in Non-Profit Organizations (Make a wish foundation) Order Description This module is about Resource and performance Management in" rel="nofollow">in Non-Profit Organizations. This paper should look at "Make a wish foundation" and everythin" rel="nofollow">ing we asses should go back to the organization; therefore a lot of research should be done about the organization by readin" rel="nofollow">ing their board reports). I will list below the exact criteria that the professor has given us, because that's how he wants the paper to be structured. The style of the paper is a Memo, and should use footnotes on every reference. The structure of the paper is: 1) Describe the benefit of a chosen method for the analysis of your NPO (Like a balanced score card or anythin" rel="nofollow">ing useful) - which you suggest to use as help to clarify and assess the strategic direction and strategic choices of your organization. (less than or equal to 1 pages) 2) Identify strategic direction and alignment (Also look at their vision & mission to see whether they are aligned, as well as an activity matrix to help see if there's strategic alignment) (less than or equal to 1 pages) 3) Describe strategic choices and trade-offs (How to reallocate resources?) for your chosen NPO, usin" rel="nofollow">ing a selected methodology (The methodology should not be part of the paper but we should only use the fin" rel="nofollow">indin" rel="nofollow">ings from it, you can add it as annexes) . You can add in" rel="nofollow">in tables to make the in" rel="nofollow">information look easier as to what is aligned and what's not (we should be analytical rather than descriptive. (less than or equal to 1 pages) 4) Risk Management (less than or equal to 2 pages (worth 30 poin" rel="nofollow">ints)) • We have to look at the operational risks only (6-10 risks), and fin" rel="nofollow">ind stats and evidence to support our fin" rel="nofollow">indin" rel="nofollow">ings. (Use matrixes that are color coded) • Risk assessment table with (Impact, Likelihood and risk ratin" rel="nofollow">ing ) • Risk matrix for prioritization/trade offs • Risk register • Risk mitigation • Risk recordin" rel="nofollow">ing and Monitorin" rel="nofollow">ing o Is risk management a part of your busin" rel="nofollow">iness-plan? o Are actions on risk mitigation regularly monitored? o Is risk management in" rel="nofollow">integrated in" rel="nofollow">into regular reportin" rel="nofollow">ing procedures? o Are risk assessments in" rel="nofollow">internally shared and communicated widely? o Is risk management part of the managerial performance assessment? • Three lin" rel="nofollow">ines of defense (Make assumptions) 5) Performance Management: (Budget typology; Reportin" rel="nofollow">ing modalities & format; managerial use of reports? Accountability; KPIs? Assess strengths and weaknesses within" rel="nofollow">in the organization. (less than or equal to 3 pages (40 poin" rel="nofollow">ints)) 6) The Journey towards Results: Baselin" rel="nofollow">ine; next steps; which elements are in" rel="nofollow">in place / are missin" rel="nofollow">ing? (less than or equal to 1 pages) • Enablers of enhanced performance & efficiency: (1) DoA (Delegation of Authority) (The “Prin" rel="nofollow">incipal – Agent” Paradigm ) • Enablers of enhanced Efficiency: Flexible Budgets • Enablers of enhanced performance (3) Performance Management and Benchmarkin" rel="nofollow">ing o How is your organization reportin" rel="nofollow">ing on its performance? o Note: set-up and prin" rel="nofollow">inciples are more important than specific data. We are lookin" rel="nofollow">ing for: • Reportin" rel="nofollow">ing frequency, and purpose: for whom? • Reportin" rel="nofollow">ing format: Budget vs. previous budget? Budget vs. actuals? Actuals vs. actuals? others? • Reportin" rel="nofollow">ing objects: by organizational units, lin" rel="nofollow">ine items, programs, outputs, outcomes? • Reportin" rel="nofollow">ing complexity: how many data poin" rel="nofollow">ints are reported overall? • KPIs: are they key in" rel="nofollow">in the reportin" rel="nofollow">ing? If not, why not? 7) A case for change? (note the question mark!) (less than or equal to 2 pages (#6 & #7 combin" rel="nofollow">ined = 30 poin" rel="nofollow">ints)) Below 4 steps are for this section! • Gleicher’s Formula for Change DxVx F > R Where: D = Dissatisfaction V = Vision for change F = First steps towards vision for change R = Resistance to change Step 1) Diagnose reasons of dissatisfaction with traditional budgetin" rel="nofollow">ing and target settin" rel="nofollow">ing in" rel="nofollow">in your organization, and how it is impactin" rel="nofollow">ing the functionin" rel="nofollow">ing of the organization. Step 2) Describe the vision for change which may result from the dissatisfaction. Step 3) Describe the implications the first steps would have specifically on: • Transformation of your SPC, • The Risk Assessment, and • The Monitorin" rel="nofollow">ing Report; in" rel="nofollow">in addition: • Describe other first steps, required to prepare for a potential paradigm shift. Step 4) Describe the risks and benefits for the organization, which would result from a move beyond the traditional RM, for example: • Appetite for change vs. change fatigue or other resistance • Capacity to implement change, and: • Provide your overall assessment whether on balance you would recommend or not recommend a change for the organization of your choice, in" rel="nofollow">in light of the risks and benefits discussed, and what those changes would entail I am very sorry for the very long description (I know it's very annoyin" rel="nofollow">ing) but this professor is very strict on his assignments and very demandin" rel="nofollow">ing on how it should be structured.
