Could this work in our club?
- Owners and senior executives, community leaders, local government officers and people directly affected by the chosen priority. Use when a priority needs several organisations to act together.
Before you start
- Decision mandate, governance sponsor and community accountability route.
- Participant conflicts, procurement interests and sponsorship disclosed.
- Facilitated agenda with evidence pack and pre-defined commitment standard.
At the end: Issue the approved commitment register within five working days and convene a 90-day delivery review led by the community priority owner.
