  • Project Phoenix Change Agent Recommendations 'Develop
    strategic leisure Project Phoenix Change Agent Recommendations ‘Develop - Deliver’ An Executive Summary The Hong Kong Football Association Prepared by Strategic Leisure / URS / Scott Wilson Ltd Hong Kong Football Association Project Phoenix – Change Agent Recommendations – A Future Vision for the Hong Kong Football Association Executive Summary Introduction and Context This document sets out the recommendations of the Change Agent appointed by the Hong Kong Football Association (HKFA). The Football Development Strategy approved by the Government in March 2010 included a vision for football in Hong Kong. At the top of this list was the need for an independent, financially strong and effective National Sports Association. One of the recommendations of the strategy was that the HKFA should appoint a Change Agent to lead the transformation process. The following recommendations set out the changes deemed necessary by the Change Agent to ensure that the HKFA is fit for purpose i.e. to lead the development of football in Hong Kong. This document has been called Develop – Deliver. It is recognised that the HKFA will need to change (develop) before it can reap the rewards of that change (deliver). Viewed simplistically this is a two-stage process. In reality there will be much overlap because different aspects of the organisation will develop quicker than others and will be in a position to deliver positive outcomes within a short space of time. For example the governance structure can be expedited quickly however success on the pitch arising from enhanced development activity will take a little longer. Nevertheless Develop – Deliver illustrates that the organisation needs to change if the fortunes of football in Hong Kong are to flourish once again.
