The Organizational Alignment Working Group, one of the six working groups under the Task Force, is seeking proposals from qualified proponents to conduct an Organizational Landscape & Alignment Assessment of the BC wine grape industry’s organizational ecosystem.
This project will establish a clear, defensible baseline by addressing the following questions:
- Who is doing what across the industry association landscape?
- How well do current mandates, services, and governance structures align with industry needs?
- What models from other jurisdictions or commodity groups offer relevant lessons for BC?
- Where do duplication, gaps, and governance inefficiencies exist?
- What alignment scenarios and efficiency options could strengthen the sector’s long-term sustainability?
This project aligns with three of the key strategic priorities set by the Task Force Working Group. Namely, SP1: Current State Audit; SP2: Benchmarking and SP3: Opportunities Assessment.
This project is designed to assess alignment across the organizational ecosystem of the BC wine grape industry. It is not intended to duplicate or replace existing or parallel initiatives currently underway.
Specifically, this project will not:
- Conduct full governance audits of individual organizations
- Duplicate long-term strategy development work currently being undertaken by the Wine Grape Industry Task Force on behalf of the sector.
- Replace or replicate any cross-commodity governance or organizational capacity initiatives funded through separate programs.
- Implement structural changes or governance reforms (this project will provide assessment, analysis, and decision-ready options only).
The successful proponent will be expected to leverage existing reports, governance reviews, and related project outputs where available, and to coordinate with parallel initiatives to avoid duplication and maximize efficiency.
