What will JCI Look Like in 2025?
JCI UK is in the process of creating its strategy for the next five years. To do this, we need the input of you, our members! We are a member lead organisation and that means making sure we’re heading in the direction you want us too.
This strategy day is the next step in the process. We’ve held our first Strategy Day in March 2019, which fed into the big membership survey we’ll have completed when this day second strategy day comes around.
During the day we’ll be feeding back on the direction we are looking at taking based on the information that we have gathered from these previous activities. During the day, we’ll be delving deeper into some of the conclusions we’ve come to based on these activities to make sure we’re heading in the right direction.
