Our strategy – Foundations of our work
(the things we need in place so we can deliver our strategy)
Committed, skilled people in a welcoming and inclusive work environment.
To make a better world, we need passionate and talented people, including our staff, board members, and advisors.
Our team needs to have the skills and support they need.
We need to be sure that our team includes all different people and that everyone is welcomed and respected.
Strong, active leadership and effective management.
We need strong leaders who have great ideas, inspire other people and take us forward positively.
We need great managers who can make sure we work well together to achieve our goals.
Inclusive and effective communication.
We need to make sure our network communicates well with each other and with people outside the network.
We need clear, easy-to-understand communication so everyone in our network can take part and share their ideas.
This will help us work together to make the world better for people with Down syndrome.
Good governance by a network that represents people around the world.
Governance means the way an organisation makes important decisions about what to do and how to do it.
We need to make sure we have a clear and organised way to make decisions together as a network.
We need to make sure that members of our network from around the world have an equal say in decisions.
Sustainable funding and well-managed money.
We need to have enough money to pay for all our projects and costs.
We also need to look after our money carefully and plan for the future.
This will help us to be successful with our strategy and achieve our vision for a better world.
