IVAR launches Thinking about... series
IVAR’s Thinking about… series
The Thinking about… series is based around a straightforward idea. Drawing on the findings from previous research (our own and that of others) we want to provide practical, useful information for voluntary organisations that is grounded in the experiences of others.
The Thinking about… series is not prescriptive, nor does it offer ‘toolkits’ or step-by-step guides for organisations to follow. It is intended to help practitioners make informed decisions about changes they may be considering.
The Thinking about… series is primarily aimed at staff and trustees of small to medium-sized voluntary organisations. However, we believe that policy-makers, academics and those with an interest in the voluntary sector will also find the series illuminating and thought-provoking.
Thinking about... merger is the first in a series and we hope our first-hand knowledge, experience and insight of mergers helps voluntary organisations to:
- clarify their reasons for considering merger and their aspirations for the future
- be clear about the issues on which they may wish to negotiate
- avoid unnecessary expense and upheaval by embarking on a merger process without first testing out individual and organisational expectations of what it might achieve
- structure their thinking on merger and all it entails.
