As a result , it has given me a different perspective on what needs to be accomplished to achieve the desired end result ,” he explains . “ One of our biggest challenges has been helping to shift the YMCA away from being a decentralised entity because branches operated as independent business units . This centralisation allows us to focus on standardising our asset management approach and process to help establish and achieve our sustainability goals .”
