INFRASTRUCTUREStrategic Plan
BrandA brand is “a set of perceptions and images that represent a company, product or service. While many people refer to a brand as a logo, tag line or audio jingle, a brand is actually much larger. A brand is the essence or promise of what will be delivered or experienced” (Persuasive Brands, 2012)
CultureCulture is the personality and spirit of an organization. It is what makes an organization unique. Culture lets people know your values. It captures the essence of who the organization is and how it operates.

INFRASTRUCTUREStrategic Plan
• Strengths– Solid foundation– Members passionate about patient support, great support
from CHAEN, pharma, HAEI, other HAE patient groups– Great team – Board representation across Canada,
executive director in place since June 2012• Weaknesses– Some of original weaknesses have been overcome (i.e.
difficulty in contacting patients – now have website and regional events)
– As a Board, being spread out across country is more difficult – electronic media very important for us

INFRASTRUCTUREStrategic Plan
• Opportunities– Unprecedented interest in HAE– Social media– Edmonton: Northern Alberta Bleeding Disorders Clinic
– model for comprehensive care of HAE patients• Threats– As patients, our initial lack of understanding of system
and how best to manage our care– Need to increase funding sources (i.e. fundraising
initiatives)
