The board needed a solution that provided fresh perspectives, established a structure in which to discuss any potential issues and made the most of the limited time available within the group’s monthly meetings.
An early pioneer and innovator
Dementia care specialist, Belong, is recognised as an early pioneer and innovator in the social care space. With a dedicated staff of 1150, the not-for-profit operates seven state-of-the-art care villages across the North West.
With two new villages planned for 2022 and a desire to continue to provide outstanding services, it was the perfect time to review the board’s performance and understand how it could best meet the needs of the organisation as it continued to grow.
Chief Executive, Tracey Stakes, explains: “This was a board with an ambitious agenda. We wanted to build a high degree of trust and collective leadership amongst members. That meant developing a shared understanding of how to operate as a unitary board, with clarity around our own purpose as a team.”
“When AOD put forward a review built around team working and expert coaching, we knew it was just what we were looking for,” she adds. The Affina Team Performance Inventory (ATPI) – a powerful evidence-based assessment tool – was used to measure the team’s potential to deliver effective performance.
