Please read Case 2 on page 417 “Food Banks Canada: Revisiting Strategy 2012”.
Food Banks Canada is a growth and change story about a not-for-profit national organization that was
created by its affiliated members to better address hunger issues and get needed food to the poor. In
response to decline and poor performance, it altered its governance process, opted for a federated
structure, renewed its leadership and staff, and put a renewed vision and strategy to work. Five years have
passed and the CEO is considering what they should do next.
Below are the four “4” questions I need answered. **Note: But don’t just answer the questions write the answers as an essay with the
CASE QUESTIONS.
1. Katharine Schmidt is reflecting on Food Banks Canada’s accomplishments and challenges of the last five
years and considering what they should strategically target now. Should they stay with their current
strategy or alter course?
2. As you analyze the Food Banks Canada case to better understand their current situation, consider carefully
the nature of their formal structure and decision-making process, its strengths and weakness, and why they
selected it as their governance structure.
3. What do you thing Schmidt should recommend they do? To accomplish this, will there need to be changes to
their structure or governance approach?
4. How should Schmidt go about generating needed support and approvals from the National Board, her staff,
the Member Council, and affiliated food banks?
