Supporting the STRLDi Institutional Accountability Framework
Institutional Schedule A
The STRLDi Principle
STRLDi exists to build an enduring learning institute rather than simply to deliver professional services. Every appointment within the Institute therefore carries responsibilities that extend beyond the completion of assigned tasks. Individuals are expected to strengthen the Institute itself while simultaneously contributing to the organisations and communities it serves.
No one is employed simply to perform tasks. Every member contributes directly or indirectly to one or more of the six institutional responsibilities that together sustain STRLDi over generations.
| Institutional Responsibility | Institutional Purpose |
|---|---|
| Generating New Knowledge | Expand the Institute’s body of research, methodologies, publications and intellectual property. |
| Building Institutional Capability | Strengthen systems, processes, programmes and future organisational capacity. |
| Developing Leaders | Prepare practitioners, faculty and future Institute leaders capable of advancing the mission. |
| Creating Strategic Partnerships | Build relationships that extend the Institute’s influence and create opportunities for service. |
| Strengthening Organisational Learning | Improve learning within client organisations and within STRLDi itself. |
| Generating Sustainable Revenue | Secure the financial resources necessary to sustain research, faculty development and institutional growth. |
Every member therefore contributes to the long-term sustainability of STRLDi. Some contributions are direct through research, consulting or programme delivery, while others strengthen the systems that enable those activities to occur. Every role therefore possesses institutional significance irrespective of its operational function.
Institutional Schedule B

Institutional Schedule C
Capability Pathway
Leadership within STRLDi is earned through demonstrated scholarship, practice, teaching and stewardship. Progression does not occur because of seniority, popularity or organisational appointment. Each stage represents increased responsibility for strengthening the Institute.
| Capability Stage | Primary Institutional Expectation |
|---|---|
| Participant | Learn the foundations of Systems Thinking and the Learning Organisation. |
| Practitioner | Apply learning within organisational and societal contexts. |
| Teaching Assistant | Support learning while developing teaching competence. |
| Associate Faculty | Deliver approved programme components independently. |
| Faculty | Lead programmes and contribute to curriculum development. |
| Senior Faculty | Lead research, mentor faculty and expand institutional knowledge. |
| Principal Faculty | Generate new knowledge, lead major assignments and develop institutional capability. |
| Institute Leader | Steward the Institute through continued excellence in research, teaching and practice while preparing future leaders. |
Institute Leadership is never separated from scholarship. Every Institute Leader remains an active researcher, teacher and practitioner throughout their period of stewardship.
Institutional Schedule D
Revenue Accountability
Revenue generation is a shared institutional responsibility. Different roles contribute through different mechanisms, but every function strengthens the Institute’s long-term sustainability.
| Institutional Function | Expected Foundation Stage Contribution |
|---|---|
| Principal Faculty & Executive Steward | 65% |
| Strategic Partnerships & Institutional Engagement | 25% |
| Digital Knowledge & Publications | 5% |
| Programme Office & Delivery Excellence | 5% |
These proportions will evolve as faculty capacity expands and institutional systems mature.

Institutional Schedule G
Institutional Financial Allocation
Every P100 earned by STRLDi is first allocated to strengthen the Institute before professional remuneration is determined. This model protects long-term institutional capability while ensuring that every engagement contributes to future growth.
| Allocation | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Professional Delivery | 30% |
| Executive Stewardship | 10% |
| Research & Intellectual Property | 15% |
| Programme Development | 10% |
| Administration & Corporate Services | 10% |

| Governance & Professional Services | 2% |
| Strategic Reserve & Institutional Growth | 10% |
| Total | 100% |
Institutional Schedule H
Institutional Growth Scenarios
The financial architecture of STRLDi evolves as institutional capability expands. Revenue growth should progressively reduce dependence upon individual effort while increasing investment in research, faculty development and institutional knowledge.
| Scenario | Foundation Institute | National Institute | Regional Institute |
|---|---|---|---|
| Annual Revenue | BWP 200,000 | BWP 10,000,000 | BWP 20,000,000 |
| Principal Faculty | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| Faculty & Associate Faculty | 0–2 | 6–8 | 12–15 |
| Teaching Assistants | 2 | 4 | 6 |
| Programme Office | 1 | 3 | 5 |
| Research Capability | Founder-led | Dedicated Research Team | Research Division |
| Strategic Partnerships | 2–4 Associates | Partnerships Office | Regional Partnerships Unit |
| Publications & Knowledge | Basic Digital Presence | Publications Programme | Knowledge & Publications Division |
| Strategic Reserve | Developing | Fully Funded | Growth & Expansion Fund |
Institutional maturity is measured not simply by increasing revenue but by increasing capability. As revenue grows, the Institute deliberately invests proportionately more in research, faculty development, institutional knowledge and long-term sustainability, thereby ensuring that future growth rests upon stronger foundations rather than greater dependence upon individuals.
