AJ1 Develop a strategy for the development of an archaeological organisation

Elements

AJ1.1 Specify the aims and objectives of the organisation

AJ1.2 Plan the future development of the organisation

Unit Commentary

This unit is for archaeologists who have responsibility for implementing the strategies and policies of the organisation or responsibility for the development of the organisation or a substantial part of the organisation. It is important to have a strategy for how an archaeological organisation will develop. This involves specifying (not necessarily decidin what the aims and objectives are, usually in collaboration with key decision-makers such as trustees and governors. Plans to implement these aims and objectives have to be generated, and these can take the form of corporate plans or strategic plans (whichever terminology is used by the organisation). These plans can be related to the overall development of the organisation, or the development of specific functions or responsibilities within the organisation. This unit covers specifying the aims and objectives, i.e. identifying what they are and clearly recording them for further use by self and others and planning the future development of the organisation.
