STRATEGIC INTENT
This strategic plan of CyclingSA aims to grow the sport of cycling in South Africa by setting out a path for future higher development through a number of regional training centres. It intends to encourage thought leadership and innovation on all levels to unlock the future, not only through participation but also through digital transformation.
To ensure there is strategic alignment across all cycling disciplines, it takes into consideration government’s steering guidelines in terms of corporate and financial governance as well as the need to diversify. This alignment will provide clarity amongst our community and ensure there is a shared strategic direction, vision and focus across all our external stakeholders as it positions a stronger partnering avenue and aims to be inclusive of all role-players and optimising all available resources.
Ultimately, the athletes are at the centre of this plan with world-class performance as a key target outcome.
