Title: RFC's next five-year plan --- The Five Pillars
Post by: one-eyed on December 11, 2014, 05:35:41 PM
O’Neal explained the five pillars upon which Richmond will focus its attention:

1. Working on the Club’s culture.
2. Gaining greater understanding of its supporter base.
3. Increasing revenue.
4. Investing in its facility.
5. Ultimately, achieving on-field success.

* The Richmond Football Club will be bold. We will innovate and lead. We will embrace all challenges, both on and off the field. That is the essence of our vision for the future.  It is what success looks like to us and, as we know, we will need to work harder than we have ever worked before to deliver on that vision.

* I have said several times that the next five years will require as much, if not more, of us than the past five years.

* We intend to do all within our power to deliver you a strong and bold premiership club.

Did another seminar the other day and got the old SMART goal stuff.
Very amusing to look at the Richmond board goals in that light.

Specific - we know exactly what the goal is.
Measurable - we are able to measure how far we have progressed towards the final goal.
Attainable - neither out of reach or below standard goals.
Realistic - acknowledge the skills and resources required to reach the goal.
Timed - includes a definite time frame against which progress can be tracked.

I guess Gale's goals in 3-0-75 were just too SMART to achieve so we've gone to the other extreme.

The Board sets the direction.

The CEO and senior staff set the goals and measurements.

The Board then signs off of these goals and measurements

Fail to Plan = Plan to Fail.

I think Bennys goal was great, it was laughed at at the time but it set the goal posts.

This plan has no substance, no reality, just fluff. Benny, come up with another plan,

such as
100K membership, 5 finals appearance an the next 5 years,1 flag in the next 3 years

A few months ago at an all hands meeting the senior management team took every staff member and players through the 5 year plan, pillar by pillar. Each GM responsible for each pillar took all 150 of us through it point by point, so everyone knew where they fit into the plan. Very inclusive and I think everyone walked away feeling they knew a bit more about the direction of the club.

No it's not. Maybe you should read the question, it was asking why they did it this way not who decided. RFCO has his ass to watch out for so I can cope with him dancing around questions. You on the other hand are acting all knowing without even giving a hint to the answer so maybe you should figure it out then start commenting instead of acting like a 5 year old. You'd think I'd learn what to expect from you like others have but I guess I still haven't

Didn't everyone working at the club know the direction the club was heading before the point by point presentation? What a sad indictment that we have an admission that it took a meeting in late 2014 before everyone knew more about the direction of the club. Mind you that's a good outcome considering the 5 pillars have nothing specific. Well done to all at the club though. Hopefully we will win a flag in 2015.

Five Pillars is a fancy name, I would have preferred the club just have some simply stated goals such as:

Richmond will make finals 4 out the next 5 years
Richmond will make top 4 in 3 out of the next 5 years
Richmond will win at least 1 premiership over the next 5 years
Richmond will record annual Profits in each of the next 5 years
Richmond will invest in its home facility and expand external business operations to increase revenues from outside the football club.

They maybe regrouped as an executive to develop an evolve the next phase of the clubs direction. It would make more sense to launch the entire vision at once as opposed to dribbling out bits and pieces.
Having said that, what we have seenis vague.
If they're planning more information then perhaps it would've been best to wait.

Why didn't the club release a more specific document at the AGM?
That would've been a great forum to share the specific elements as you have seen.
It's a bit odd if the document was released a few months ago that you haven't been able to organise the information into a more compelling presentation for the members.

If Stalins 5 year plan was to starve 11 million Ukranians to death in the 1930's by removing all their food he achieved this in three years. So plan successfully completed, but this does not make him a great man. It makes him the second biggest mass murderer(when you take into account all of his other mass killings and purges) of all time behind Mao Tse Tung.

So we agree he was good at getting goals done.

I believe he was voted the third greatest Georgian of all time so he is very much a great man

You have overlooked key factor like tons of steel produced per-five year plan and total tons of steal after five years.

Along with several others. But carry on.

Richmond will invest in its home facility and expand external business operations to increase revenues from outside the football club.
Lol when bars are set especially when it comes to football they are set low. What a joke this thread is. What saddens me is gullible tiger supporters everywhere will lap it up and in five yrs time will still be lapping it up.
We are a footy club there is at the end of the day only one bottom line PREMIERSHIPS.  FFS I just to see one before im dead. EXCELLENCE  in all areas is what it will take. ATM  we continue to make excuses for the most important areas.

I think we all know that it's all about premierships claw.
 However,  you must follow a process that you think will get you there.  The 5 pillars are the background to that process.
You know as well as anyone that to win one you need a lot of things going right. The right recruiting,  the right development,  the right gameplan, adequate depth and quite a bit of luck. Just listen to our much maligned coach. He has said several times that there is only one satisfied coach and team at the end of a season - the one that wins the flag. So ultimately they do realise that a premiership is the only real bottom line.

I have some genuine questions. What actions will be implemented to achieve these pillars? Are there any specific quantifiable goals which sit underneath or alongside the pillars?

Not mucking around - they might actually exist but i cant find any info on this.

Bump, for those asking what the RFC Board's 'current' 5-year plan (2015-2019) is that followed the 3-0-75 plan (2010-2014).


O’Neal explained the five pillars upon which Richmond will focus its attention:

1. Working on the Club’s culture.
2. Gaining greater understanding of its supporter base.
3. Increasing revenue.
4. Investing in its facility.
5. Ultimately, achieving on-field success.

* The Richmond Football Club will be bold. We will innovate and lead. We will embrace all challenges, both on and off the field. That is the essence of our vision for the future.  It is what success looks like to us and, as we know, we will need to work harder than we have ever worked before to deliver on that vision.

* I have said several times that the next five years will require as much, if not more, of us than the past five years.

* We intend to do all within our power to deliver you a strong and bold premiership club.

A few months ago at an all hands meeting the senior management team took every staff member and players through the 5 year plan, pillar by pillar. Each GM responsible for each pillar took all 150 of us through it point by point, so everyone knew where they fit into the plan. Very inclusive and I think everyone walked away feeling they knew a bit more about the direction of the club.

so what are the specific measurable targets , and when are we going to be stepped through them.

Or is it just on a need to know basis?  Are we not important enough to be told?

Funny that many are jumping on the bandwagon to bag Joe Russo for not providing the 'detail' in his election pledges but haven't questioned the "5 pillars".  It's exactly the same generic fluff.

That has been my exact point - you could argue that the "vision" is so lacking in purpose and clarity it is almost what he would ask of the board and out executive as opposed to what he would recommend to change.
To the point Y&BB made - there are 17 other clubs with the same goal as ours, what are we step changing as a club to get us a flag which is different to the others?
WAT made a comment about sustainability - what is the club doing today to future proof revenue for when our on field success leads to a loss of football related income (ie membership revenue, tv rights and attendance revenue). We won't always be 8th  :lol

You cant make change if you dont even acknowledge the problems to begin with. They can talk about as many pillars as they like but the bottom line  remains the same

We enter year 7 and on field we have nothing to show for our efforts over the previous 6 years.
It is only my opinion and i have voiced it before  i think we have stagnated since the end of 2012. We fail to make key strides in improvement because we continue to fail to acknowledge problems in key areas.
People can argue all they like but it has taken 6 years to become a middling side,  there are things that must be improved upon yet there is never a word about them from the powers that be.. Instead those responsible are regularly applauded and given new contracts.

At the end of 2014 the goal was top 4 and winning at least one final. The two inglorious final hidings were nothing but abberations or so we were told, At the end of 2015 the goal remains the same after yet another horrible abberation it seems. I have seen no accountability for this and no one taken to task.
Yet the 2015  failure to meet goals will be rewarded again  with extended contracts for those responsible.
At the very least those responsible should be made to wait and prove they can do the job. Meet the goals and you get a contract extension.It has become all cosy at richmond for far too many.

It is time for some new blood not just at board level either  it is time to take the gloves off and actually make some tough calls.

Five Pillars is a fancy name, I would have preferred the club just have some simply stated goals such as:

Richmond will make finals 4 out the next 5 years
Richmond will make top 4 in 3 out of the next 5 years
Richmond will win at least 1 premiership over the next 5 years
Richmond will record annual Profits in each of the next 5 years
Richmond will invest in its home facility and expand external business operations to increase revenues from outside the football club.

People can argue all they like but it has taken 6 years to become a middling side

If we stagnated 3 years ago how could it have taken us 6 years to become middling? Wouldn't we have become middling 3 years ago?

I have some genuine questions. What actions will be implemented to achieve these pillars? Are there any specific quantifiable goals which sit underneath or alongside the pillars?

Not mucking around - they might actually exist but i cant find any info on this.

IIRC the old (good) RFCO said it actually has specific goals and the details would be released eventually. Obviously that was ages ago now and the club probably hoped everyone would forget.

From The Age website ...

Richmond's last bold plan under former president Gary March – launched at the end of 2010 after Gale was appointed – was dubbed 3-0-75 and aimed for the club to play in three finals series, have zero debt and 75,000 members within five years ... and to win three flags within 10 years.

The three premierships might prove overly ambitious in the next five years, but the Tigers broke 70,000 members this year, have cleared their debt and played three finals in the past six years, not five.

O'Neal said the next phase of planning was focused on a range of less eye-catching administrative matters but central to them was examining what to do about the fact the club was outgrowing its Punt Road home.

"We will always be at Punt Road, but it is five years since we finished the work here and you look at Hawthorn and Fremantle and what they are doing with new facilities ... and we are running out of space for the administration, and football always wants more space.

"So we will look at all our options: how much more can we do there with what we have at Punt Road? We will have people examine what is feasible.

"We are part of Yarra Park and the MCC is our landlord, so we will have discussions with them and see how best we can use the space we have."

She said other options for expanding to nearby facilities would also be examined.
