“Although KS is not new to CIFOR it is not yet fully internalized as a critical component of the Center’s organizational change management.” – Fiona Chandler, Project Leader

Any strategy process must ensure full and active participation by key stakeholders, and communicate the strategy’s essence for its successful implementation.  Due to the decentralized nature of CIFOR, understanding and participation in the Center’s new strategy development has been uneven.  With greater understanding and use of KS approaches, staff will feel that their input is solicited, valued and put to good use.  

Objectives
This project used KS approaches to:

• Increase staff and Board of Trustee participation in the CIFOR strategy development process to identify and address common issues and concerns.
  
• Ensure open and participatory discussions on CIFOR’s core values by all staff.
  
• Facilitate internal communication and build trust while addressing potentially sensitive strategic issues.
  
• Capture and document lessons from the overall strategy process and from specific activities to facilitate communication, share lessons learned and design a framework for monitoring and evaluating strategy implementation.
