Could this work in our club?
- Chief executives, senior public or community leaders and the accountable owner of a defined local priority. Use when the decision requires senior authority from a small number of organisations.
Before you start
- One-page decision brief, options and non-negotiable community safeguards.
- Participant conflicts, authority and confidentiality or attribution convention confirmed.
- Accessible venue and documented decision recorder.
At the end: Confirm the decision record within 24 hours and issue private weekly delivery checks until each commitment is complete or escalated.
