Reset, Build, Excel – an ambitious vision for Scottish Hockey
Across the Scottish Hockey landscape, we are fortunate to have an extremely enthusiastic and passionate membership that have high expectations of what can be achieved for our sport. Our vision needs to be ambitious to reflect our community. We are intent on creating a strategy that underpins this vision, and consultation with our members and stakeholders is key. Only as One Team can everyone across the Scottish Hockey landscape come together and achieve our ambitious plans.
 
Reset, Build & Excel is a 3-stage approach to achieving our vision of being a professional; commercially sustainable; visible; diverse and world-class governing body over a ten-year period. We have significant ambitions to be a governing body that sets the standards for others and one that has an impact on and off the pitch. We want to Excel in equality; inclusion; welfare; participation; performance; and commercial success. We do not want to be left behind by other sports and want to be at the forefront of modern technology, modern sports governance and creating a sport that appeals to all.
 
Reset Phase
The Reset phase of this vision is critical to the success of our vision. It is essential we take the time to get solid foundations in place if we are to create a professional infrastructure that can deliver our vision and strategic plan. This process is already underway with implementation of the recommendations of the member engagement project from last year and a governance Reset at board level. This phase will continue throughout the rest of the year with focus on organisational culture change, wellbeing & welfare, getting the right people in the right places and doing the basics better.
 
Build Phase
The Build phase starts in 2023 onwards when our strategy is finalised and starts to be implemented. This phase, which spans over 2-3 years, allows us to Build on previous success but also improve on the things we have not done so well in the past. Our strategy takes the foundations from the Reset phase and starts to transform strategic objectives into results that we can see. In this phase we will cement or relationships with all involved in hockey to create a culture of One Team that can help us Excel in achieving new levels of success as a governing body in the future.
 
Excel Phase
This is the phase in which we benefit from the thorough work done in the Reset and Build phases. Through a One Team culture we are realising our ambitious vision of becoming a world-class governing body that sees us take hockey to levels never achieved before. We will Excel in everything we do.
