Catholic Education Diocese of Parramatta
As the growth in population is projected to be 900,000 by 2036, the Catholic Diocese of Parramatta planned to redevelop a site for education, religious and community needs.
We were engaged in conjunction with BDO to lead a collaborative process to create a shared vision, organisation model and recommend next steps.
HOW WE HELPED
- Engaged over 30 community groups to gather stories & develop personas to deepen understanding of community and family needs
- Guided a core team to facilitate a series of future points of view sessions including the student learning and formation journeys
- Facilitated collaborative workshops with 30-50 participants including Catholic education and diocesan leaders to:
- Reimagine the future needs of the community for a shared vision
- Co-design the services to support students and family-centric ways to operate including shared corporate and learning services
- Lifted leader capability to start to mobilise community change
OUTCOMES
- Successfully aligned 30 stakeholder groups on future
- Key inputs to DA for approval by Parramatta council
- Created momentum for community change
