Welcome to BAFTA’s Review of the Year 09/10 – a chance to go behind the scenes and see how we work. Review of the Year Executive Message

His Royal Highness became our fifth President, succeeding Lord Attenborough, who has been tireless in his support of the Academy since becoming a member in 1959 and to whom we owe a great deal of thanks.

Most importantly, however, we have delivered all our charitable promises and exceeded many, despite the tough economic climate. The number of BAFTA learning events around the UK has risen substantially, and the increase in traffic on bafta.org is proof that more people than ever are sharing what we have to offer. Review of the Year A Year of Reviews

Planning for the future BAFTA is a byword for excellence. This has not come about by accident but through years of dedication from Academy staff and members in making our Awards and Inside View — We want to continue events the very best of their kind.

But and bringing our as our activities and influence broaden charitable activities to and the BAFTA brand gains stature a larger audience. around the world, we constantly aim to improve what we do and how we do it.

Over the past 12 months we have conducted four fundamental reviews across our organisation. These follow the strategic review of five years ago, which yielded a fresh mission for the Academy and a renewed commitment to our charitable causes.

We have been focusing on three areas of great importance for BAFTA: our branches, representing BAFTA in , and the US; our Awards, through which we recognise and reward excellence; and our building, 195 Piccadilly, which has been our home and the centre of our activity for more than 30 years.

Most importantly, in order for our charitable activities to have maximum impact, BAFTA should mean the same thing everywhere. If we convey the same values and standards wherever our name appears, we can strengthen our membership and standing, and take our charitable remit to a global audience.

Our programme to unify the Academy will help create a larger and more joined-up network of BAFTA members. We will have opportunities to stage more international events and learning initiatives, and to build stronger links between our three industries. The opportunities for global sponsorship and fundraising will increase, too, with extra benefits for our members.

Working with our review partners Deloitte, we examined every aspect of our Image – (BAFTA / Mark Hoberman) Awards systems, from the logistics of the entry and judging processes through category definitions and special awards to audiences and ceremonies, seeking out opportunities for improvements and flagging up issues we may need to be aware of in the long term.

As expected, no glaring deficiencies were uncovered. However, the review revealed a need to keep closer track of developments in communication technology and the consumption of media. In response, a new Technology Committee will monitor how these factors impact our Awards. We will also develop an Awards ‘bible’ that captures best practice in all our Awards processes.

But that may not be an option, and now is a good time to begin thinking seriously about all likely scenarios, and how we prepare for a possible move.

The Buildings Review has been looking at issues such as the pressure to redevelop property in the Piccadilly area, and the possible consequences for our section of this famous thoroughfare. Finding a new home to meet our needs would be a challenge and take time; how should we proceed? Could we lease another space? Could we, should we share space with another, like-minded institution?
