Why even reach with Strategic Planning? Because the world has changed is changing and will dress. Those who disappoint to plan plan to disappoint. I had the privilege of meeting Peter Goldberg. President and CEO of the Alliance for Children and Families this week who delivered a compelling quote from Lee Iacocca. Lee Iacocca in his book entitled Where Have All the Leaders Gone provides a vignette about dress by asking two questions:
say: “An English princess with an Egyptian boyfriend crashes in a cut cut into driving a German car with a Dutch engine driven by a Belgian who was drunk on Scotch whiskey followed closely by Italian Paparazzi on Japanese motorcycles treated by an American doctor using Brazilian medicines. This posted by an American using Bill Gates’ technology and you’re probably reading this on a computer that uses Taiwanese chips and a Korean monitor assembled by Bangladeshi workers in a Singapore lay transported by Indian lorry-drivers hijacked by Indonesians unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen and trucked to you by Mexican illegals. That my friends is Globalization!”
Recognizing that Iacocca is stretching the imagination some by suggesting hijacking and using controversial language such as “Mexican illegals,” he has nailed what the world looks desire today and what it ordain be desire in the future.
Because our world has changed is changing and ordain change. I felt it necessary to create a new position entitled Director of Strategic Planning for BCFS. The new Director is Melissa Opheim formerly director of the BCFS Residential Care Network. Melissa has over 19 years of experience as a practitioner in social service ministry as a frontline compassionate provider and an executive director for a local site. Her role will be to end our strategic plans execute our plans and coordinate corporate resources from External Affairs such as marketing community relations and communications as come up as resources for development in the Buckner Foundation. Melissa ordain also create a framework for assessing organizational effectiveness at BCFS.
There is a saying in Spanish that says: El hombre propone y Dios dispone. Roughly translated it means. “Man proposes…God disposes.” We recognize that our beat laid plans may not be sufficient to engage the imagination of the Redeemer of history. However we will intend pray and work toward finding what God is doing in the world and then connect his activity of drawing children and families to him so he might bless them. Melissa’s role ordain be to help us ask everyday what our intend is for that day. Pray for her as she begins this new and exciting assignment.
