Establishing Knightly Project standards - your project reviews and comments needed

A GRAND KNIGHT AND ORGANIZATION LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE


As Knights, we have always challenged ourselves to do better. High standards have lead to high results and making a positive difference in the communities we serve

What will happen in the new decade? New renewed energy or decline ?
----------------------------------------------
During the past decade Knights have contributed more than $1.325 Billion and nearly 626 million volunteer hours to charity. We are a proud part of a 127 years tradition of excellence in doing good The Knights of Columbus, are the largest Catholic family fraternal , non profit charity organization in the world with 1.7 million members
---------------------------------------------
Renewal process -do we embrace it ?

We do not purposely leave anyone behind and truly need to know why and if we do

What is wrong is important to know so that it can be righted (Our Unity concept). Our ongoing renewal process is a success but does have its acknowledged failures - from which we can learn .We are no different then any other organization or business in this respect. The adage “To Err is human ,to learn is divine “ holds true . Knowledge is our future power.

IS A REALITY CHECK AND REVIEW NEEDED (YES -TO BEAT THE ODDS)

Beware of why projects fail and take steps to mitigate common risks. Spend the time to study and understand common project pitfalls. One of the best ways to plan for success is to learn from the mistakes of others. Use standards and best practices
