A leading Cumbrian business organisation will develop its strategy for the next three years, thanks to the help of one of its members.
Britain’s Energy Coast Business Cluster has asked the Harrison Network to run sessions with its members.
Dianne Richardson, chief executive of the cluster, said: “As we move towards pulling our next business strategy for 2024 – 2027 together, we are inviting Harrison Network to help facilitate our conversations to ensure we hear and include the voices of our team, our members and key stakeholders.
“Harrison Network will bring the strands of key voices together and support our executive team as we reflect those discussions on paper in the strategy.
“The member meeting in August of this year, for example, will see us setting time aside for our members to contribute to the discussion. We will also be looking at ways to include members who cannot attend, and, of course, our extended team.
“Harrison Network’s team offers a breadth of experience in their team. Some have a deep understanding of BECBC but others are able to bring a fresh perspective to the table. I am especially happy that we were able to source this know-how from within our membership.
“It is important to us to maximise and promote the skills and expertise in our midst.”
The cluster is in its 20th year and aims to create an environment for members to collaborate and do business.
Lucy Harrison, director of the Harrison Network, said: “We’re delighted to be working with BECBC as they develop their future strategy. As members of
the organisation for nine years, being able to use our skills to support its ongoing development is really exciting.
“Harrison Network specialises in coaching people and teams as they develop to meet the changing needs of the world around them. We can’t wait to work with this amazing team to help facilitate the next stage of BECBC’s journey.”
