What you will do

 

Roots is based on business management retreats that your own leadership team probably go one once a year but, it is designed at the project or programme level for individual project managers. The 'retreat' will give you the dedicated time and support to think about your project objectively and holistically. Throughout the seven-week course, I'll guide you through a process to evaluate, plan and describe your project.

 

You will;

​

• Create a strong, long-term vision for your wildlife conservation project

• Include your key stakeholders into your planning

• Identify significant barriers to your project - including the ones you're missing right now

• Create SMART and donor-ready project outcomes 

• Prioritise your must-do activities to maximise your conservation impact

• Create a bespoke work plan with clear targets and responsibilities for your team

​

 

What you will get

​

• 2 x 30 minute phone/skype/zoom calls with Victoria

• Access to seven weeks of taught content via audio or video

• The Roots notebook - a printable exercise book which guides you through the set exercises week by week
