In the most significant review of CAMS in over a decade, CAMS has released the results of the recent organisational review. This will result in significant change in the way we deal with CAMS. The full report is contained in the forum:

Following an extensive organisational review conducted by Ernst & Young, the CAMS Board has developed its blueprint for the future, having regard for the Ernst & Young findings. This blueprint has recently been communicated to members and interested parties with the President and CEO of CAMS undertaking a series of road shows across Australia.
Any member who was unable to attend one of the road shows can download an outline of the Key Elements that were presented by clicking here.
Organisational Review Background:
The outcome of the Board’s position has been subject to consultation with key leaders from across the organisation, including a full day workshop of State Council and National Commission Chairs and the Board held late last month.
The Board’s blueprint is about laying the foundation for the future of the organisation and the achievement of its new strategic direction. The feedback from those that have already had the opportunity to see the proposal is that, it makes a lot of sense; is nothing that wasn’t expected from such a review; and it is obvious the Board have put a lot of thought into it.
A heavy and increased emphasis has been placed on sport & club development, opening up communication lines, removing bureaucracy, streamlining decision making, engaging stakeholders, providing enhanced customer service/access to service delivery, recognising the grass-roots level of the sport, volunteerism and establishing a contemporary governance structure.
The Board recognises the implementation of the outcomes will mean significant change and won’t be easy, but with a concerted and unified effort by all members of CAMS, believes the change is achievable and will position the organisation and sport well for the future.
The Board also recognises the need to gain the support of the members on certain aspects of the review and the road shows were the first step in the consultation process.
It also recognises its leadership role in this process and the need for it to make tough decisions in the best interest of the organisation. It is unified in its support for the proposals about to be put forward as a consequence of this review.
As in any review there is always an operational imperative to move quickly to fill key positions to maintain service delivery to our clubs, members and key stakeholders and the Board is insistent these should be aligned to the new organisation. The CEO has been empowered to progress this issue.
