OUR 5-10 YEAR GOAL

To be able to clearly demonstrate that we have helped:

  • Broker better relationships between citizens and the public realm which empower people across the country to contribute to society; and
  • Britain to become known throughout the world as having the most innovative and vibrant democratic structures.

    Should your purpose and goals be more closely aligned?

    If your purpose is to change the lives of individuals should your demonstration of effect be to what extent individuals lives and circumstances have changed?

    These goals might be quite difficult to measure yourself against?

    Why is showcasing Britain throughout the world so important?  I thought this was about sharing solutions and problems.  Doesn't this go beyond national boundaries?  Shouldn't it be about sharing best practice across the world rather than promoting Britain?

    I add my support to both comments here: the goals, although clearly connected to the Core Purpose, could be more closely aligned to it, in particular because the Core Purpose is so clear and focussed. 

    Also the two goals appear very challenging to evaluate the organisation's work against: if you consider how you'd go about assessing them it feels like they need tightening up in terms of being measurable and specific.

    The text above doesn't include a sense of how Involve will actually use these goals in practice. We are all familiar with laudable goals being written down but then not really being applied, so to prevent this perhaps you could commit (internally at least) to assess any potential project, event, initiative etc past the goals as a double-check that it really contributes, before you commit to it.  Hope i'm not saying the obvious here...

    I'm not sure what you mean here by the "public realm".  My version would be that it is where citizens interact and where political discourse begins if you like - almost the bedrock of democracy.  In the goal laid out here, it seems to refer more to the state.
