John Lynch, with whom I have worked closely over the last few years, will take over as Managing Director leading the operational project-led organisation. The board will be supported by a team of advisors who will help consider medium term projects, including Roger Rogowski, Roger Hobkinson and John Martin. Moreover, as Managing Director I had 9 direct reports which is unmanageable.Īfter over three years as Managing Director of WiSH, I will now focus on my role as Chairman of the board which comprises John Lynch (Vice-Chairman), Peter Leng (Dons Trust representative), Tim Hillyer (Trustee) and Mat Haylock (AFCW representative). The Board will, between quarterly Board meetings, research and make recommendations for potential medium term and long-term projects. To achieve our ambitious growth plans, we needed a “Project Led” operational organisation to focus on projects in the next twelve months. I expect this figure to increase as we scale. We have a goal that at least 60% of Board members are not operationally involved in WiSH so governance can be optimised. There was too much overlap between the Board and the Operational Team. We are now in the “scale up” phase and we needed to have a re-organisation to support the above-mentioned goals. The focus was on what heritage projects we could deliver immediately by making the most of the adrenaline and goodwill running through the WiSH team. Since 2019 we have been working like a Start-Up. Plans start for Phase 2 before the Northampton vs AFC Wimbledon Carabao Cup tie on 24/08/21

Moreover, we need to be super compliant as we are a registered museum and charity. We needed to improve efficiency, accountability and communication. As I completed an audit of where we were (including team reviews and importantly looking at our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats – a “SWOT” analysis), my fear was that if we did not tidy up WiSH, there was a risk of burnout for our 35 strong part time volunteer organisation.
