http://www.saints.com.au/staticfile/AFL ... .pdf{Quote]Strategic Framework 2013-2017
In July 2011, the Club engaged Sports Business Partners to assist its Executive Management Team develop a strategic
framework that provides a roadmap for the next 5 years, through to the end of 2017 financial year.
This roadmap was completed in early May 2012 after several off-site workshops & internal sessions and was formally
approved by the Board as part of the 2013 Budget process in September this year.
The development of the strategic framework first considered the Board’s Primary Purpose statement which was developed
in April 2011.
To achieve success, instill pride and earn respect for Saints people through winning football and good citizenship.
Since 1873, successive generations of passionate and committed “Saints” have embraced the Club and made it their own. Those people have been and will continue to be both, for the Club and community.
The St Kilda Football Club exists because of that commitment and our purpose is to return that investment to the absolute best of our ability through our actions, both on and off the field.
By understanding why the Club exists, a vision for the Club was able to be developed to clearly articulate what the
organisation aspires to be.
Our vision is to be a power club in the AFL that attracts the best commercial and playing talent.
We will succeed through inspiration, innovation and intent.
In turn, the Club’s Executive set out a series of statements that defined the current mission of all Club employees in pursuit of our agreed vision.
Our mission is to…
- Be unwavering in our pursuit of AFL Premierships
- Be highly regarded for our competitive spirit, commercial standing, values and citizenship.
- Lead with considered decision making and control our own destiny by building a sustainable commercial model
- Be an employer of choice that provides a progressive work environment
In simple terms, our vision and our mission provide a clear direction on where we want to go and importantly what it will take to get us there.
Having defined our boundaries, the Club’s Executive considered each of the functional areas of the business to answer the questions, where do we want to see this business area in 5 years’ time (Desired Outcomes) and what do we need to do in the next 12 to 18 months to achieve our stated ambitions (Key Initiatives).
The result is the creation of 9 Pillars that represent the functional areas of the business and cover the entire operation of the Club.
These are:
1. Leadership & People
2. Football
3. Membership, Fan Development & Community
4. Merchandise 5. Communications
6. Finance
7. Sponsorship & Sales
8. Facilities & Stadiums
9. New Zealand
The dialogue and debate throughout this process led to the development of nearly 100 Key Initiatives across the 9 Pillars for the Club’s Executive to drive through the business over the next 5 years. {quote}
it will be interesting to see if there any queries/ questions on this framework on Wednesday
This is a joke post, right? (Apols to Mr Westaway - yep, I suffered through last year's President's 'speech')

Why? Not happy with the club planning for the future? Looks like they are trying to track progress against the objectives identified in planning.miskycat wrote:PLEEZE tell me this is a joke post.

John Gdanski and Ross Levin managed to attend 10 of 22 board meetings they were eligible for....Greg Westaway wrote:John Gdanski, Simon Grant and Ross Levin retired as Directors during the year.
I remember once that SO'D was on the board and managed to attend something like 1 out of 10.

I've been to most AGMs since the early 90s.
But I'm not travelling down to Frankenstoned for it.
Makes me think they have something to hide (bit like when Butttersss had it on a Sunday morning at some obscure place in South Rd - not the town hall).
Can someone (with comprehensive car theft cover) please attend and take the minutes?

Re: AGM early and in Frankston
Every surprised with something in that report
revenue from sponsership was roughly 3 mill which is atrocious considering the success and coverage we have had over the last few years
As a comparison the following clubs the following levels of sponsership according to their annual reports
Western Bulldogs 5 mill
then Collinwodd 22mill
Then add in Membership and reserve seat revenue of 3 mill compared to the following
Western Bulldaogs 5mill
Thats a 4 mill revenue difference upfront from the BULLDOGS!!!!
Can't find melbourne's annual report and port's doesn't differentiate the revune streams

That, if what you say is apples vs apples re the dogs comparison - a fair one given they play at Etihad like us and are a middling team - is enough evidence to me that Westaway needs to Goaway.

Re: AGM early and in Frankston
Not much to report from tonight.
Having it at Frankston effectively reduced the amount of people who could attend. Small crowd. No challengers. I felt even more inclined to go because I felt having it just before Christmas and this outback location was to deter members.
4 new board members I think. But only 3 were there... I think.
1 - A guy who run the show at Shell and now retired although a board member at Orica.
2 - RUSH - QC and worked for the AFL
3 - Some other guy in PwC strategy. Partner I think.
4 - Danni something. Female. Gold medalist Hockyroo.
Thomspon and Simmons (?) got re-elected.
Questions:
Lady brought up the issue of not enough banner makers
Man said not enough communication for those witHout computer access.
Another complained about losing one game at Etihad to NZ. Then complained about having too many games at the MCG because he can't sit in the same seats.... Mixed argument and a weak one. Hating on the MCG because it's not as 'comfortable' when MN stated it was more financially rewarding and for finals went against his points.
Scott Watters spoke well. Spoke about 'hunger' and 'self belief' being his two ingredients to success. He then introduced the new players and they showed a video of the Colorado trip. He then opened to questions but I think everyone was shocked so no one asked anything.
What I would have liked to ask the board at general question time but didn't was:
- Why poor sponsorship?
- Social Club re-jig
- Why a board made up of PwC partners and Coles CEO's had to employ a consultancy to develop a strategy plan....
- How much the Colorado trip cost

Re: AGM early and in Frankston
Relaxed evening
Greg seemed most comfortable soeaking that I have heard him at an AGM- to me indicartng he is clear on direction being worked toward, and by no means saying it's done
The other new board member was at the extreme left when looking from the floor,
Amazed that lady could still find something to query when we now have a lady on the board,
Agree about the games question
mild amusement from all when Scott forgot to call up the last player added to the list but noticed him looking uncertain and added him
Was it the much discussed Spencer white with the wrist support

Re: AGM early and in Frankston
Why employ sports business partners to assist in a strategic framework? Isnt that what the executives get employed to do and board members get nominated for? Doesnt the club have anyone already involved with that background? Supporters get treated with contempt until they want your money via a raffle or membership. If they want a one stop shop solution, just get back to Moorabbin as quickly as possible.

Re: AGM early and in Frankston
Considering the high profile the club has had with multiple finals appearances in recent times, the inability to secure big sponsors is a worry and it points to inadequate corporate direction and lack of expertise at executive level. Members should not let the club off lightly in this area

Ghostaway should say he wishes to step down ASAP.
End of 2013 is too late.
It's obvious he's not up to it.

Re: AGM early and in Frankston
Maybe it just points to a shedload of controversy across the last five years. There has to be a certain realism to supporters' expectations - just because Collingwood book $20m a year from sponsors doesn't mean the Saints have anywhere near that capability. The $5m the Dogs get should be about the right target.spert wrote:Considering the high profile the club has had with multiple finals appearances in recent times, the inability to secure big sponsors is a worry and it points to inadequate corporate direction and lack of expertise at executive level.
