Our four-year strategy 'GESS' represents the four strategic objectives under our vision as an organisation:
-
Growing the business
-
Enhancing business practice
-
Sustaining Tenancies
-
Strengthen Communities
At Evolve Housing, we have a clear purpose for our organisation and an ambitious vision. This strategic plan provides a structure to set our priorities, focus our energy and resources, strengthen our operations, and establish agreement around the intended outcomes and results of our business. It is a tool we will use to assess and adjust the organisation’s direction in response to a changing environment and helps to ensure that our employees, stakeholders and partners are working towards common goals.
Our Strategic Plan provides the high level direction to the organization for the next four financial years from 2016/17 to 2019/20. In order to achieve our goals and objectives, this plan will be supported by annual business plans and a reporting framework to measure progress and outcomes.
