SURVEY INTRODUCTION

Working processes represent 'what' we do at work consciously or unconsciously. Asking academy experts what they do has helped us gain valuable insight across academies…

you will identify areas that need improvement, and you will find new processes to help you do this. There will be some elements of your work that will be constrained by infrastructure and or logistics, but the ‘what’ and the ‘how’ are things

W hat and how we focus on for and the structure of our tasks. The working processes we use to do our duties also highlight what we find important to us and what is suitable to our philosophy or vision. How we then perform is related to the operationalisation of those processes. All of this is extremely important within the academy ecosystem, and it is all clearly interconnected. In terms of the working processes you use, some relate to ‘what’ you do, ‘how’ you do it, and it’s the combination of these processes, and how they work together, that help us perform. our daily work routines relates to the organisations we work On top of that, it is useful to know what you use to deliver the ‘how’. Of course,

you can shape based on your philosophy, values, club DNA or your vision of what you see as successful for your academy and club. These working processes describe the same environment as the 12 Quality Areas, just from a different perspective. To help identify and describe the 12 QAs, we have used the list of working processes in the form of questions, then analysed their impact and assigned them to one or more Quality Areas. Hopefully, this list, which could in itself be seen as a concise methodology of running or development of a youth academy, could be useful when comparing to your own working processes, and might trigger some new questions for you to consider within your setting.
