Business Planning

The primary purpose of branches is to act as a channel for member and potential member engagement at a local level , by encouraging networks for practitioners, building capability, gaining new members, running events, providing visibility and input into public policy agendas and working collaboratively with other branches. Business planning is a great opportunity for all of us to look at what are the ways we’re directing activity to serve thatperson,

time to brainstorm new ideas and reflect on what worked in the past and what might work in the future. It’s a time where we look at what works well for other communities and networks as well as other branches that face similarities with us. As our membership at CIPD continues to grow, the interest of our members and the wider profession gets closer to our different activities and branches are representative of our largest face-to-face channels to market for CIPD’s voice and thinking as well as the biggest interactions with our members with over 1000 learning, CPD and networking interventions being delivered yearly across the UK, we’re perfectly positioned to create a considerable impact in the profession. To ensure business planning allows us to have a focused approach on our purpose, play on our strengths and connect perfectly with the wider proposition CIPD is delivering, we created a list of principles and criteria you can use in business planning that will ensure your branch plan gets the right level of support, speedy approval and it’s part of a dynamic network of branches that are serving our members. We have reflected the criteria focusing on the core elements of planning allowing you complete freedom to drive the overarching branch strategy and explore what going the extra mile might look like in your local context.
