MGMT Addition of Department Allocations

Now that the board has approved the growth plan for Better Heath, please assume the following variables are in place that directly affect your department tactical planning:

Based on Better Health’s recent Income Statement, revenue exceeds expense by $1,193,825. (See Income statement….. Income = $2,250,822 and expense = $1,056,997 balance remaining is: $1,193,825 divided by five departments = $238,765. Approved allocation to consider = $200,000 maximum per department.

The Board of Trustees has approved dividing this amongst the five departments as follows:

Your department has been approved to develop a plan that supports both the department’s goals and overall agency goals.

Your department has $200,000 to work with to show prudent and logical use of these funds.

Your mandate is to look at areas such as staffing needs, volunteer needs, resources necessary and also overall innovative and creative ways to prose a plan, reorganization, leadership and control factors for your department.

There is no guarantee each department will receive full funding. However, it is likely the board may approve some departments for even more funding and others less. Therefore, justify you proposal and management of your ideas in your work.

Please note you can and should consider the growth of the department in logical stages. It takes time to hire and require resources so therefore, be prudent and assume, this may very well be for at least a year or two all of the growth funds available to you. For example, if you only need 50% or 75% of the funds to achieve growth — state that. On the other hand, if your growth will be significant (e.g. services delivered or fund raising), then say that that is expected to be the case and why and when this will occur.
