Saola Foundation is relatively new and needs to identify opportunities to improve its work processes to ensure resources are used effectively.
Saola Foundation is a relatively young organization, having been formed in 2020. A strategic development theme for 2023 is “efficiency and wellbeing in the work place”, recognising that, with a small staff team, it is important to ensure best use is made of staff time and to protect against staff burn out. The CEO believes now is a good time to identify and review Saola’s key business processes and to analyse where and how staff spend their time. The aim of this project is to identify opportunities for improvement that would, for example, reduce individuals admin-based works loads (for all technical and development staff) and free-up more time for fundraising activities and reduce the overhead of internal processes.
Key stages in the project are likely to be as follows (subject to agreement between Saola and the volunteer):
- Project initiation (background and objectives)
- Identification of key business processes & prioritisation of those in scope for this project (via 1-1s or workshop)
- Process analysis, including staff time/resource usage
- Development of improvement options and recommendations
- Reporting and presentation to CEO/Board
- Evaluation of success
Discovered by science only in 1992, the Saola was perhaps the most spectacular zoological find of the 20th century. It is now probably the world’s most endangered terrestrial mammal. The race to save Saola is one of the highest priority conservation challenges of our time, requiring an unprecedented level of global support and cooperation.
The Saola Foundation team is a small, deeply committed group of field conservationists and this project is a real opportunity to help the team “step up a gear” in the way they work together.
