1. Moving Badminton Forward

2. Current Situation:
There are no formulated targets in the TTO Badminton community
There is no official policy document in TTBA, explaining what the organisation wants to achieve and how
To achieve personal goals, officials intend to use the power of their position instead of seeking cooperation, based on respect
Knowledge and experience is present in TTBA, although in cases outdated, but not used in the right positions of TTBA
Overall, there is no real leadership in TTBA, based on a consonance on the policy of how to bring badminton forward

3. Set aside rivalry, strive for cooperation, forget personal goals
Advice:
Formulate targets on short term and long term for the 5 Fundamentals of TTBA
As a result of the Strategic Plan, develop Operational Plans for each of the 5 Fundamentals and COMMUNICATE these plans
Re – Structure the TTBA organisation for the sake of reaching targets
Make use of existing Knowledge & Experience. Add from outside where necessary
Set aside rivalry, strive for cooperation, forget personal goals

8. CONCLUSION:
The badminton fraternity in Trinidad and Tobago has knowledge and experience, however we have a culture of self interest and self promotion. We must look at our sport holistically. We must not be afraid to make the changes that will see badminton move forward. This must be a joint effort from all our stakeholders.
