Board Strategic Plan Feedback

08 / 17 / 23
This Spring, the Board met at two retreats to winnow out and deeply examine what the Co-op stands for and what is truly unique about it. The Strategic Planning process is an enormous opportunity to build on our strengths while exploring how the Co-op will navigate the diverse and complex challenges of the next five years. It’s an exciting time for us and there are several avenues for change and growth that the Board will consider pursuing as they work through the Strategic Planning process.

At the strategic planning retreats, we mapped the competitive landscape, looked at national trends among cooperative grocery outlets and compared what makes us different from our competitors. We performed a strategic audit of our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Finally, we developed a set of strategic objectives that we hope to gain feedback on from Owners. The draft strategic objectives are:

  1. Address Willy North Model to Ensure Future Growth
  2. Address Ecommerce Business Model to Ensure Future Growth
  3. Become the Employer of Choice for Current and Future Employees who Reflect the Diversity of Our Community
  4. Deepen Our Commitment to Local – Vendors, Community Stakeholders, Social Impact, & Democratic Decision-making
  5. Leverage Digital Tools to Offer Greater Value to Our Owners and Stakeholders
  6. Better Help Our Owners on Their Wellness Journey

Your input is requested for our strategic plan and strategic priorities that will guide us! You can participate by filling out the form below by 12pm on September 27. Thank you for participating in your cooperative!
