Goal

The NRL struggled with misalignment and communication inefficiencies between its leagues, state bodies, and the national organisation. Community volunteers were burdened by complicated, disjointed tasks and systems that hindered effective governance and compliance.

Result

Unified Communication: Tidy Connect addressed the NRL's communication issues by providing a centralised platform for leagues, state bodies, and the national organisation to share tasks and effectively converse within a project's context. This ensures that instructions and updates flow seamlessly from the national body to the state and community levels, improving clarity and coherence across the entire network of associations. Volunteer Empowerment and Integration: With Tidy Connect, volunteers are emboldened by a user-friendly interface and a design with their needs in mind. The platform's integration capabilities mean it works hand-in-hand with the NRL's learning management systems and the MySideline national registration and competition framework. This integration eases the transition for volunteers and staff, allowing them to manage governance and communication tasks without having to learn an entirely new system or abandon familiar tools. Resource Accessibility and Continuity: Volunteers and administrators gain streamlined access to vital resources through Tidy Connect's link to PlayRugbyLeague.com, ensuring that training and development materials are readily available. Moreover, the platform's focus on role-based task assignments, rather than individual-based, guarantees that crucial knowledge and tasks are retained within the organisation, safeguarding continuity despite volunteer turnover. This model of resilient operations sets the stage for sustainable success and growth across all levels of the NRL.
