PART A
This part will evaluate internal environment of an organisation and will be focused on MIND
charity organisation in terms of corporate governance, mission statement, vision statement
and organisation structure.
1.1 Corporate Governance of MIND
‘’ Corporate governance refers to the way in which companies are governed and to what
purpose. It is concerned with practices and procedures for trying to ensure that a company is
run in such a way that it achieves its objectives. This could be to maximise the wealth of its
owners (the shareholders), subject to various guidelines and constraints and with regard to
the other groups with an interest in what the company does’’ .( www.icsa.org.uk,2017)
Corporate governance in MIND means :
 MIND’s President: Stephen Fry became Mind's President in September 2011, taking
over from Lord Melvyn Bragg. Stephen has been a tireless campaigner, supporter
and advocate for everyone experiencing mental health problems. His 2006
documentary The Secret Life of the Manic Depressive detailed his own experience of
bipolar disorder as well as speaking to many others who shared his diagnosis. His
film helped raise awareness of an often misunderstood condition and challenged the
stigma surrounding mental health problems. Stephen was subsequently named the
2007 Mind Champion of the Year in a public vote.
 MIND’s trustees: Mind is governed by a board of trustees, known as the Council of
Management, made up of 16 people drawn from Mind's membership and their
network of local Minds. Because Mind speaks for a diverse community, they aim to
have that diversity reflected in the Council of Management's membership, half of
whom must have direct experience of mental health problems.
The Council takes a strategic overview of Mind's activities and the most important role
of trustees is to ensure that the organisation is acting at all times in pursuit of its
mission and setting the strategy.
 Management: The Senior Management Team have overall corporate responsibility
for Mind’s strategy, leadership, management and organisation performance. The
team focus at a strategic level on the business of Mind and on the delivery of its
activities.(MIND,2017)
1.2 Mission statement in MIND
‘’A sentence describing a company's function, markets and competitive advantages; a short
written statement of their business goals and philosophies.’’(entrepreneur.com,2017)
According to Mullins, L.& Dossor, P.(2013) a mission statement exists only if organisation
actually do what is preaches and this are just statements and they are disconnected from
those they are meant to inspire. In essence when mission and values are together they
increase productivity of organisation
MIND mission is ‘’to provide advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental
health problem. They campaign to improve services, raise awareness and promote
understanding’’.(MIND, 2017)

1.3. Vision statement in MIND
A Vision Statement is a definition for future state, a mental picture about what an
organisation want in the future. A vision develop guidance and inspiration for what an
organisation want to build in the next years. This vision has a simple structure because
every employee needs to understand their work and how can they contribute for the
improvement of the organisation.(Psychology today,2017)
MIND has a definite goals such as:
 Staying well: Support people likely to develop mental health problems, to stay well.
 Empowering choice: Empower people who experience a mental health problem to
make informed choices about how they live and recover
 Improving services and support: Ensure people get the right services and support at
the right time to help their recovery and enable them to live with their mental health
problem
 Enabling social participation: Open the doors to people with experience of mental
health problems participating fully in society
 Removing inequality of opportunity: Gain equality of treatment for people who
experience both mental health and other forms of discrimination
 Organisational excellence: Make the most of our assets by building a culture of
excellence.(MIND,2017)
1.4Stakeholders in MIND
‘’A stakeholder is an individual or a group that claims to have one or more stakes in an
organization. Stakeholders may affect the organization and, in turn be affected by the
organization's actions, policies, practices and decisions’’.(stakeholdermap,2017)
There are two types of stakeholders:
-‘’internal stakeholders are usually members of the organisation. The following is some
examples of who these stakeholders might be:
 Directors
 Managers
 Employees
 Connected Stakeholders
-external or secondary stakeholders are those who are not directly connected to the
organisation. These stakeholders will have an interest in the organisations activities or they
might be impacted by the organisations activities in some way. Key examples:
 Governments
 Interest and pressure groups
 Media and news organisations
 Local Communities’’. (professionalacademy,2017)
In MIND internal stakeholders are: employees, MIND’s trustees, MIND’s senior
management team.
Also the external stakeholders are all the people who interact with MIND like
suppliers(professional organisations), costumers( all the people who experiencing mental
6

MOD004054_010_314043
health problems), all the organisations who donate money for charity, government,
creditors.
2.1 Organisational structure of MIND
‘’Structure is an entity (such as an organization) made up of elements or parts (such as
people, resources, aspirations, market trends, levels of competence, reward systems,
departmental mandates, and so on) that impact each other by the relationship they form. A
structural relationship is one in which the various parts act upon each other, and
consequently generate particular types of behavior." (Fritz, 1996)
.
Mind (The National Association for Mental Health), referred to here as Mind, is a charity,
constituted as a company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital. Mind is
governed by a board of trustees forming the Council of Management, as constituted by
Mind’s Articles of Association. Members of Council are both trustees of the charity and
directors of the company.
Mind's consolidated figures include Mind, its wholly owned subsidiary Minds Matter (Trading
Activities) Limited, and connected trusts – the Elliott Charity and The Mary Hemingway Rees
Memorial Fund. Minds Matter (Trading Activities) Limited carries out the marketing,
distribution and sale of donated goods as agent for Mind and receives income from
Christmas card sales and other merchandise. The subsidiary does this through some 142
charity shops and gifts its profits to Mind. The Mind network consists of Mind together with
about 151 local Mind associations (local Minds) which are affiliated to Mind. The local Minds
are separate charities in their own right and are responsible for their own financial affairs and
statements. These statements do not include the local Minds’ accounts. The total gross
income of local Minds is some £92 million, which together with Mind’s gross income of £34
million gives the total Mind network gross income of £126 million.(MIND,2017)
A hierarchical organizational structure contains a direct chain of command from the top of
the organization to the bottom. Senior management makes all critical decisions, which are
then passed down through subsidiary levels of management. If someone at the bottom of
this organizational pyramid wants to make a decision, they pass the request up through the
chain of command for approval, for which a decision will eventually be returned. A
hierarchical structure operates well when there are few products that are sold in high
volume, so that tight control can be maintained over the design, quality, production, and
distribution of goods.( Accounting tools,2017)
MIND has a hierarchical organizational structure and this is a benefice structure because
there are a multitude of people and stakeholders which interact with MIND organisation.
Advantages and disadvantages for hierarchical organisation in MIND:
 Advantages: -there are different types of leadership levels
-employees are motivated by opportunity to promote in organisation
-this structure helps employees to specialise in specific functions
-employees are loyal with the team.(small business,2017)
 Disadvantages: -communication is less effective between departments
-decisions between departments may increase rivalry because the
benefit its own interest.
-organisation cannot change quickly because of bureaucracy
-the salaries of managers have an impact of organisation because
the demands are very high (Small Business,2017)
In MIND the advantages are:
7

MOD004054_010_314043
 one president, a board of trustees and management team :ever one has different
level of leadership
 they have multiple trainings from where you can learn and pass thru a high level in
organisation
 they have a lot of projects which are meant to meet people and communicate with
them
In MIND the disadvantages are:
 communication barriers because the shops are in whole England and Wales
 the decisions can be made to benefit a department instead of organisation goals
