On Wiltshire Cricket's shortlisting ...
Wiltshire Cricket
2025 has been a landmark year for Wiltshire Cricket Limited, marked by the launch of a bold new 2025–2029 strategy, refreshed vision, mission, and values, and a modern operational planning process. Recognising that previous growth under CPA 1.0 had diluted its core purpose, Wiltshire Cricket used this strategic moment to re-define its identity and embed values of Ambition, Respect, and Fairness, principles that now underpin every decision and action.
The strategy was developed through extensive internal workshops and external consultation, empowering staff and re-energising relationships with stakeholders. This collaborative approach has created a team fully aligned with the strategy and a wider network invested in its success. Crucially, the strategy prioritises cultural change, focusing on stakeholder experience rather than purely quantitative KPIs, success will be measured by what people think, feel, say, and do.
To bring the strategy to life, Wiltshire Cricket launched a high-impact campaign, including professional videos showcasing its six strategic pillars. Operationally, the organisation has introduced Power Apps and Power BI dashboards for real-time tracking, alongside workload audits and a culture action plan to ensure behaviours match values.
Wiltshire Cricket’s transformation reflects ambition and innovation, building a sustainable, values-driven future that delivers a lifelong love of cricket for all.
