Assessment of opportunities and needs to align organizational and institutional elements of IAR’s Indonesian subsidiary – YIARI so that, as a peoples organization the team and organization can excel.
Lead: Lida Pet-Soede
YIARI has enjoyed steady organic growth over almost 20 years, and there has been a significant change to the structure since 2019 related to the purchase of a forest concession – home to a population of 1000 orangutans. The board of YIARI identified the need for a review of organizational effectiveness with the overarching objective to strategically advancing the organization.
The tasks were implemented by two consultants during three phases: an orientation phase, a consultation phase, and the analysis and reporting phase. The last phase purposefully included both analysis as well as reporting, as this phase involved facilitated co-creation of recommendations by senior leadership.
As lead specialist, Lida Pet-Soede gathered information through meetings and virtual consultations with senior management team members and key corporate partners of YIARI. Also, she was responsible for structuring the information and on evaluating the usefulness of information gathered. She has been the point person for all coordination with the YIARI senior leadership team and responsible for analysis and presentation of results. As co-lead, Wawan Ridwan applied his knowledge and expertise mostly to gather and to organize information from a selection of YIARI government and other partners.
