Following an extensive organisational review conducted by Ernst & Young, the
CAMS Board have developed its blueprint for the future, having regard for the
Ernst & Young findings. This blueprint is about to be communicated widely
with the President and CEO of CAMS undertaking a series of road shows across
Australia in the next few weeks.
The outcomes of the Boards position have been subject to consultation with key
leaders from across the organisation, including a full day workshop of State
Council and National Commission Chairs and the Board held late last month.
The Boards blueprint is clearly about laying the foundation for the
future of the organisation and the achievement of its new strategic direction
and the feedback from those that have already had the opportunity to see the
proposal is that it makes a lot of sense, is nothing that wasn’t expected from
such a review and it is obvious the Board have put a lot of thought into it.
A heavy and increased emphasis has been placed on sport & club
development, opening up communication lines, removing bureaucracy, streamlining
decision making, engaging stakeholders, providing enhanced customer
service/access to service delivery, recognising the grass-roots level of the
sport, volunteerism and establishing a contemporary governance structure.
The Board recognise the implementation of the outcomes will mean
significant change and won’t be easy, but with a concerted and unified effort by
all members of CAMS they believe the change is achievable and will position the
organisation and sport well for the future.
The Board also recognise the
need to gain the support of the membership on certain aspects of the review and
the road shows are the first step in the consultation process. It also
recognises its leadership role in this process and the need for it to make tough
decisions in the best interest of the organisation and it is unified in its
support for the proposals about to be put forward as a consequence of this
review.
As in any review there is always an operational imperative to
move quickly to fill key positions to maintain service delivery to our clubs,
members and key stakeholders and the Board are insistent these should be aligned
to the new organisation. The CEO has been empowered to progress this issue.
The details of the road shows follow and all interested members are
encouraged to attend:
31 March - South Australia

2 April - Tasmania
3 April - Victoria
