DESCRIPTION:

A common problem faced by many small limited focus NGOs is the need to strategically re-evaluate the direction of the organization following the initial period of growth and expansion. In the case of SPARC, an NGO devoted to the protection of the rights of juvenile offenders, the Board meeting of June 2003 had proved to be a watershed: on the one hand the activities of the NGO had been recognized and rewarded by an international award; on the other hand, the founder believed that the time had come to revisit the original mission statement and look for new activities to support. The issues raised include organizational structure, vision, leadership, and strategic re-evaluation of performance. 


LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

This case can be taught in specific programmes dealing with NGO's and not for profit organizations, or in the MBA programme. The issues raised include organizational structure, vision, leadership, and strategic re-evaluation of performance.
