BCA Board member says organisational shake-up a must

First, the fear for the future of the organisation and the development of cricket in Barbados.“We need to increase our attention on the corporate side of the organisation and develop a corporate strategy to operate in sync with a cricket development plan.It is very difficult to execute a cricket development plan without a corresponding corporate strategy in modern professional sport that speaks to finance, human resources, technology, etcetera,” Springer explained with regards to the development of the sport locally.We have a cricket development plan and a marketing plan that cannot exist in a vacuum.

There would need to be a financial and human resources plan at minimum to be in sync with the cricket development and marketing plans for them to work or they will constantly face operational issues and offer excuses for their lack of execution.“I have served with various vice presidents of the BCA and have observed that the VP is key to bringing Board members together and managing the agenda of the committees of the Board to keep them on track with the Board’s strategic direction.
