1st Annual Strategic Planning Session
In January of this year, your Executive Team came together and spent a day with Dr. Eli Sopow, an expert in organizational design, for the purpose of creating a BCRS strategic plan. The Executive felt that this was an essential step to better ensure that the increasing activities of the BCRS are absolutely aligned to overarching goals of the Society. This effort resulted in a draft strategic plan that highlighted the current state of the BCRS as compared to the desired future state, mapping the strategies that will move the Society forward over the next five years. Highlights of the plan include:
Increasing the profile of radiology in BC, including creating an awareness of radiologist’s role;
Promoting appropriate utilization of diagnostic imaging within BC;
Leading the way in quality assurance for BC radiologists;
Increasing external stakeholder engagement and discussions
Accessing and implementing state of the art diagnostic imaging technologies
Maximizing satisfaction and value within the profession of radiology
Copies of the strategic plan will be made available once it has been finalized. In addition, and linked to the strategic plan, will be the implementation of an annual operational plan, which is also under development. In 2009 the focus is on:
1) Communications: internal/external
2) Technology: e-Health initiatives
3) CME: for the membership
4) External stakeholder relations
Each year, the Executive will revisit the progress made against the strategic plan and revise as necessary to ensure that the BCRS remains to be an impactful and relevant organization to its members.
