REASONS WHY WE EXIST
![Page 7: Workshop II - Running & Mass Participation...• Challenge for XC races with final prize money ... • Finding the new Amazon. RUNNING THE RUNNING OFFICE EUROPEAN ATHLETICS CONVENTION](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022053017/5f1c2ffbd0d85d58303a5d85/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
WHAT BUSINESS ARE YOU IN?
Depending on political traditions, the activity of a European “nationalgoverning body” is a mix of
stuff that you have to do because that’s what you were created / arefunded for (by government, by NOC, by your affiliates, etc.)
AND
stuff you choose to do and that you sell on the market (and people buyfrom you either because you outperform competition, OR because youhave a natural, technical or legal monopoly)

YOUR RUNNING STRATEGY NEEDS A STRATEGY
Before even getting to the drawing board, a federation leader needs to ask herself – what business are we in?
ALMOST ANYTHING CAN BE SEEN AS ACTIONS THAT ADVANCE CONSTITUTIONAL GOALS, BUT IS IT REALLY WORTH PURSUING?
Which assets do I control, which others can I acquire at a lower cost than the competition?
Are there untapped markets? Things that my organisation is better than others at doing?
Will I have political or managerial capacity to go beyond the “stuff-I-have-to-do” block?
Will I be seen as a competitor from my constituencies? Should I care? Am in breach of any national or EU competition rule?
When to compete, when to cooperate?
