Sport Sector Resilience

Description

Over the past year, Sport Wales has supported various partners with their resilience. The sector faces increasing pressures and competing priorities and responsibilities, with limited resources. There is a recognition that current working methods are not always as efficient and effective as they could be. A group of funded organisations have put themselves forward to review their operating procedures and methods with the clear intent of becoming exemplars of best practice within the sector. Each organisation has different starting places and are different sizes and scales with varied structures and resource levels. The organisations selected to participate, have been due to their varied size and nature. The scope of this work includes, but is not limited to, considering improvements within the following areas: • Governance and Board Effectiveness • Behaviours, culture and environment: how these effect the organisations’ ability to improve efficiency and resilience • Collaboration and innovation opportunities across the sector and beyond • Policies and processes • Strategic and operational planning and delivery – clear long-term goals, structures, allocation of resources etc • Risk Management • Technology and AI: High costs and low adaptability from outdated tech. • Ways of working – remote v operational, more efficient ways of working and use of staff resources. • Communication Issues: Misunderstandings and delays due to inefficient/outdated communication methods and channels.
