Table of Context
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The strategic planning spanned 6 months, starting in early June until December to develop Breakaway Community Services’ new five (5) year strategic plan.
Through consultations and research, the key strategic issues, strengths, weakness, sector trends, opportunities and threats were identified. These were then
addressed through the strategy map exercise to define the objectives and the associated initiatives that the organization would need to focus on.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE
Breakaway Community Services (BCS) is at a pivotal moment in its evolution, where strategic decisions are necessary to shape its future
direction. With a new board in place and three major projects underway, BCS continues to demonstrate its commitment to serving diverse, marginalized, and racialized communities.
ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN SUMMARY
Key themes: expand range of services and incorporate cultural competency, strengthen communication and decision-making, workforce focus on organizational development and well-being, and enhance funding diversification and sustainability.
STRATEGY MAP
We have proposed four strategic themes for BCS, each addressing the organization’s mission to provide inclusive, trauma-informed, harm-reduction services that meet individual and community needs. These themes were developed using insights and priorities raised by participants during the recent strategic planning retreat.
NEXT STEPS
Detailed implementation planning.
