The Wests Tigers Plans leading into 2017

Good to see what wests-tigers are doing, and are planning to achieve.
what's the old saying, " fail to plan, plan to fail"
 
As part of my job I write strategic plans, it is the sign of a professional organisation that creates strategic directions and makes those public for their stakeholders. It is how you create accountability and assess the successful running of your organisation. What is more important than seeing the goals and direction of the organastion is to see the milestones and strategies they have create to achieve the desired outcome. This information is often not made public.

Exactly. If you do not know where you are going then you are never going to get there.
 
wow 12 local juniors in your 25 players that's great love to see local kids get a chance not like some clubs lucky to have 1 or 2 . I think the nrl should give salary cap relief to clubs for players who come through a clubs junior system .
 
The plan is great the club is headed in the right direction ..yes the club has not appeared in regular final series over the past 15 years ..but to say the Tigers are the worse performers out of all the NRL clubs ? I am sure the Weststigers were PREMIERS in 2005 if I am not mistaken now that in it self is by far more successfull than probable the majority of the teams in the NRL .You are a GOOSE Mayer!!!
 
The majority?
I doubt it.
The majority have won premierships in the past 15 years…only 5 havent.
...we cannot live off 05 forever...its a decade on for christs sake
 
Mayer was very lucky to survive last years restructure. We can only hope under a new and more professional board to guide him we see some signs of improvement in his performance.

I think there is an expectation that the NRL are going to be doing something over the next 2 to 3 years to provide incentives for developing local talent - we should be very well placed to benefit from that. The inclusion of that goal in the Plan may even have come through consultation with the NRL.

Interesting to see that Mayer is saying we were the worst performers since 2000\. Really, that could be argued many different ways. Why would he choose the one that makes us look bad? Is he just trying to lower the bar???

To put it in perspective, let's look at some different measures, using different time scales:

**Making finals**
- 3 / 15 years (ranked 15th, Titans were worst on 2, Brisbane were best on 13)
- 3 / 10 years (ranked 14th, Titans and Panthers were worst on 2, Manly were best on 10)
- 2 / 5 years (ranked 8th, Parra were worst on 0, Manly were best on 5)

**Making top 4**
- 3 / 15 years (ranked 8th, Cowboys were worst on 1, Melbourne were best on 7)
- 3 / 10 years (ranked 3rd, Canberra were worst on 0, Melbourne were best on 7)
- 2 / 5 years (ranked 4th, Canberra, Cronulla, Warriors, Knights, Cowboys, Parra were worst on 0, Manly were best on 4)

**Minor premiers**
- 0 / 15 years (among 8 teams on 0, Roosters were best on 3)
- 0 / 10 years (among 11 teams on 0, Roosters and Dragons were best on 2)
- 0 / 5 years (among 12 teams on 0, Roosters were best on 2)

**Grand finalists**
- 1 / 15 years (ranked 8th, Canberra, Cronulla and the Titans were worst on 0, Roosters were best on 6)
- 1 / 10 years (ranked 5th, Canberra, Cronulla, Knights, Penrith and the Titans were worst on 0, Manly were best on 4)
- 0 / 5 years (among 9 teams on 0, Manly, Canterbury and Roosters were best on 2)

**Premiers**
- 1 / 15 years (ranked 4th, 6 teams were on 0, Brisbane, Manly and Roosters were best on 2)
- 1 / 10 years (ranked 2nd, 9 teams were on 0, Manly were best on 2)
- 0 / 5 years (among 11 teams on 0, with 5 teams on 1)

**Wooden spoon**
- 0 / 15 years (among 7 teams on 0, Souths were worst on 3)
- 0 / 10 years (among 8 teams on 0, Parra were worst on 2)
- 0 / 5 years (among 12 teams on 0, Parra were worst on 2)
 
The quote I found most interesting:
"[General manager of football] Phil Moss, Jason Taylor and the board recognize we need to bring in some talent from outside to bolster our kids," Mayer said.

When JT originally stated that we weren't seeking to sign anyone, I think he was being legit as their was nobody worth signing. Now that pre-season is over I think JT would have a good idea where we need to sign talent. Lets just hope we see a couple of signatures for 2016…....Greg Bird maybe? haha

the only way for us to buy top players and stay under the cap is to hijack the roorters bean counter or nick there cap exemption card .if not ask the brocos
 
same old talk and i guess we will hear a different rant in 12 months time. by coming out with this dribble they give them selves a excuse for not signing any players and most fans will be happy to go along, but we will see in 12 months or so when the next change of direction comes out, who buys there crap. Mayer should have gone in the clean out. how the hell do u cut 8 players on good contracts from last year and still have no money, Mayer must have had a great end of season holiday me thinks, THATS MY RANT FOR TODAY.
 
Really getting tired of people having to explain why we let players go and then why we have no money to buy players for 2015?

It isn't that difficult to understand
 
I'd like to hear the plan on how were gonna be in the black by 2017.
Dont we owe the NRL $9mil? So we have to make $4.5mil profit in each of the next two years?

Because that is not how the salary cap works, you just cannot compare like for like. The salary cap is much more complicated then that.

Is the 9 mil interest free? Hope so :astonished:
 
Gotta love strategic plans, one of those nice to have trendy documents organisations go for nowadays, my experience with them is they become a burden for a few to write then they approved usually by those who are glad someone else wrote it for them and then once completed people in an organisation get on with the real goals and objectives which are usually obvious to most and the strategic plan sits on the shelf.
 
The 12 juniors in the full time squad is good to see, particularly when I think it was the Bulldogs released their own 'strategic plan' a little while ago it was 2 local juniors over 3 years.

Yep….I was going to post earlier, its dangerous coming out with these grand plans publicly, you just make yourself a target....as AA's link just proves

All decent leaders do it. Its only you can measure performance. Great to see the club being transparent. New board is fantastic.

I have definately seen that be the case in some organisations. The important thing to do is to actually write the plan with improvement of the business in mind. There then needs to be a process to monitor how well the strategies are working and if the milestones are being met. I was in a meeting about this this afternoon.

The senario you suggested is because it is a poorly written strategic plan with no buy in from staff and by the sounds of it management.
