- However, it does not necessarily divide the strategic and operational work by board and staff
- Those activities can be thought of as interrelated pods or buckets People Processes Performance – why is performance included here ? Because we have to have some way to measure our results e.g. income, hours of work generated for people with employment barriers
- People are of course one of the keys to the successful operation of a social enterprise
- Most of these HR operational areas are common to all types of businesses. Social enterprises face additional people related business operations of the social outcomes that they are trying to achieve.
- Processes Well researched, documented and tested processes are also one of the keys to the success of a social enterprise.
- The number and type of operational processes required will vary by the type of social enterprise.These seven area outline some of the most common processes found in almost all enterprises. However the key point is that you must develop and document standard processes for all operational area and keep refining them.
- Performance – why is performance included here ? Because we have to have some way to measure our results e.g. income, hours of work generated for people with employment barriers Also we need to measure how effectively and efficiently we are running our social enterprise
- In order to ensure that our business operations are both efficient and effective i.e. that the enterprise meeting its' objectives, we need to set targets and then measure business operations performance against these targets. How ? Using key measurement tools. Social enterprises need to consider additional performance measurement tools to assess their social outcomes and impacts. Proven tools such as Demonstrating Value are available for social enterprises – see the next slide.

- We have talked about each of these areas individually but in reality they are interrelated and interdependent. A solid Business Operations plan brings all of these elements together.
- GROUP ACTIVITY– ask participants to work at their tables If group is larger or in pairs if smaller group. You will now have an opportunity to apply your learning with this Case Study activity. Give the participants the case study and ask them to identify at least 3 ideas for operational improvements, based on the information presented in the case and using the Business Operations Self Assessment Tool to guide their review and discussion. Handout: Business Operations Self Assessment Tool Ideally participants should look for at least 1 idea from each of the 3 key components: People Process Performance Questions: 1. How would implementing the suggested business operations improvements impact the: - efficiency of the operation - the effectiveness of the operation 2. Do the suggested business operations improvements interact in any way ? If so, how and why ?
