Strategic Renewal at the Starlight Foundation

The Starlight Foundation Advisory Board for Victoria, faced the critical task of refining their strategic direction to enhance their impact. Recognizing the need for external expertise, they invited Beacon Consult, on a pro bono basis, to facilitate their strategy session. This session was crucial in helping them define clear priorities for the immediate and longer-term future.

The diversity of the board brought a wealth of ideas, which, though beneficial, required careful distillation to ensure focus and practicality. The outcome was the first draft of a strategic plan that not only aligned with their mission of aiding seriously ill children but was also a guiding document for future endeavours.

The feedback from the board was overwhelmingly positive, affirming that they were well-prepared to face the upcoming year with a robust strategy in place. This experience reinforced the value of strategic clarity and the profound impact it can have on their operational success and the children they support.

For fellow CEOs and senior HR leaders, this case underscores the importance of strategic planning facilitated by skilled consultants to harness diverse perspectives and achieve clarity that drives organisational success.
