Foreword

Vision 2020: The Birth of a New Plan Two and a half years was the time it took to develop the APR Plan for 2012–2015 using a systematic process involving a large number of key NSO leaders, regional volunteers and professional staff. The Regional Scout Committee took direct responsibility in building up the regional plan, starting at the APR Scout Leaders Summit in Bangalore in June 2010. The Summit comprised of key leaders from National Scout Organizations including the top volunteer, top executive, and International Commissioner. All sub-committee members, in their collective capacity as technical advisers to the Regional Scout Committee in various areas, were invited to take part in the strategic planning exercise. With the APR Vision 2013 coming to a close, the Summit envisaged the future of Scouting in the Asia-Pacific Region with the new “Vision 2020”. After a lengthy discussion on what Vision 2020 would be like, the leaders finally agreed and adopted this statement “By 2020, Scouting in the Asia Pacific Region is recognized as the preferred and leading educational youth movement offering relevant programme in all segments of society.” Furthermore, to achieve the Vision, they decided five strategic priorities for 2012-2015: Young People, Adults, Management, Finance, and Scouting Profile. They debated and eventually agreed on the focus areas for each priority.

The Summit was just the beginning of the entire process. Building on the Vision 2020 statement, the Regional Scout Committee met on 16 April 2011 in Makati City and made a key decision that membership growth is the primary goal of the strategic plan for 2012-2015 and that sub-committees will have to be actively involved in identifying key strategies for the next triennium.

On the initiative of RSC member Nicholas Tang and the support of regional consultant Kirsty Brown, they facilitated a half-day discussion among sub-committee chairmen.

Before embarking on a new plan, the group brainstormed to clarify assumptions and to challenge traditional mental models or practices. A number of critical questions were thrown to stimulate the thinking process and questioned the primary role of sub-committees, and what support can best be provided considering the diversity of the region with NSOs at very different levels of development.

With the RSC decision to involve all sub-committees, what followed was a joint strategic planning forum in Chonburi, Thailand in October 2011 with the enthusiastic participation of over 60 sub-committee members. They refined the statements and expanded the objectives and action steps. For maximum effectiveness, they checked for inconsistencies and duplications and to ensure that the work is coherent across all the sub-committees.

The draft from Chonburi was ready for the final stage at the 24th APR Scout Conference in Dhaka. Through a breakout group activity, the Conference had a direct hand in the planning process as well as the final say. Key leaders from almost all NSOs in the region, including World Scout Committee Members, reviewed and critiqued the plan, and presented their amendments and recommendations at the conference plenary. The conference unanimously adopted the plan with the inclusion of the proposed amendments. The underlying goal is for NSOs to give their full cooperation and ownership for the implementation of the plan at national or local level and ultimately, to collectively meet the Vision 2020.

With the new approach to strategic planning introduced for the first time in this triennium, it may not be perfect as this stage, but it surely is a good move in the right direction. Dr Chao Shou-Po Abdullah RasheedChairman, APR Scout Committee Regional Director

APR Strategic Planning Framework! APR Strategic Planning Framework (By Nicholas Tang) 1. This framework for the region’s strategic planning exercise has been approved by the Regional Scout Committee to facilitate the work of the various sub-

committees. The Regional Scout Committee also decided that the goal is membership growth of scouting in the Asia Pacific Region. As shown in the diagram below, membership growth is not the outcome of marketing, branding, or publicity materials alone. Membership growth is the key result of other factors such as the quality of the programme, the quality of leader training and effective management.

2. The diagram below is a simplified systems diagram (or loops) presented during the APR planning process to ensure consistency and coherence across all

the sub-committees, thus ensuring maximum effectiveness of all the hardwork put in by members of these committees. Figure 1

Page 24: APR Plan 2012-2015

24 APR Plan 2012-2015

The Use of System Loops for Strategic Planning 1. The use of systems thinking helps us to recognize that when we change or do something it will have a positive or negative impact on another part of

the organization. Everything is connected in one way or other. The figure above (Figure 1), which focuses on membership growth, shows how the various elements are connected.

2. However the diagram above is very complicated and can be reduced to a few other diagrams or what is called system loops. There can be other

systems loops, depending on the focus of the organization. 3. In reading the system loops, it is necessary to understand the few symbols used in the diagrams. The letter “s” means that when you change on

element, it will affect the other element connected to it in a similar way. The letter “o” means that the effect is in the opposite direction. For example in the diagram below an increase in the “Number of Volunteers” has an opposite impact on the “quality of volunteers”. On the other hand, an improvement in the “quality of training” will have a similar impact on the quality of volunteers”.

Figure 2 Figure 3

$ 4. The other set of terms used is B and R. The letter B means that the loop is a Balancing Loop, i.e. nothing much will change in the organization

because change in one element is cancelled by one or more opposing changes in the loop. The other letter used is R, which signifies a Reinforcing Loop, i.e. the organization will change in the desired direction when the changes are made because each element reinforces the other element.

5. How do we determine whether it is a balancing or reinforcing loop determines on the number of “s” or “o”. If there is an odd number of “o” (ie 1, 3 or

5) then it is a Balancing Loop. If there is an even number of “o” or no “o”, then it is a reinforcing loop.

APR Strategic Planning Framework

Page 25: APR Plan 2012-2015

25APR Plan 2012-2015

6 Whether it is a “s” or “o”, or a “B” or “R” depends on each person’s assumptions. For example, in the diagram above (Figure 2), some people believe that when “youth involvement” increases the “quality of programme” will decrease, i.e. an “o”. However some people believe that “youth involvement” has a positive impact on “quality of programme” and so it becomes an “R” loop.

Figure 4 Figure 5

7. These differences should form the basis of the discussions during the strategic planning exercise because it surfaces underlying assumptions very

often hidden during discussions. The change or alignment of assumptions within the organization is often more critical than the plans or activities included in the strategic plan.

8. To ensure that we achieve reinforcing (R) loops, and so improve the organization, it may be necessary to introduce new elements so that there is an

even number of “o” within the loop. This process will help members think of what else needs to be done to improve the organization. 9. Finally what is not included in the set of diagrams is “time gaps”, i.e. some elements take a longer time to be implemented or to see the effects while

others are more immediate. This is also an important consideration during the strategic planning exercise. For example it takes time to train the adult leaders, but it is faster to recruit scouts based on a strong marketing strategy. Recognising this time gap will ensure that the organization does not over-react when the desired outcomes are not seen immediately. This time gap also will help the organization develop a time-line or sequence of implementation of the strategic plans.

10. In conclusion, this set of loops is not definitive nor universally applicable. Much depends on the NSO, the society, the resources available, the mental

models of the members and the values and beliefs of the NSO.
