In order to move forward with strategic plan, we are attempting to document the stakeholders in the plan and their roles. Examples of the value of this exercise are helping us understand exactly who has to approve a chapter (and who doesn't!) and who is guaranteed formal input (and who isn't).
If you are a chapter author, we are asking that you add missing people or groups to the left hand column and then fill in letters (and blank cells) the best you can, for both your chapter and any place else that you feel comfortable filling out. We understand you might not get it exactly right - a lot of the value of the chart is to launch some discussions around, for example, who actually gets an approval vote, or who isn't guaranteed formal discussion on a document.
For our chart we're only using three letters. They are used as follows:
R = Responsible - the people/groups who are doing the actual creation of the chapter
A = Approver - the people/groups who get a vote on the approval of the chapter.
C = Consulted - the people/groups who provide formal feedback before the chapter is approved.
Blank - no special stake. Informal feedback only.
Due to the crowdsourced nature of the strategic plan, anyone is welcome to provide feedback on the chapters, but 'C's are guaranteed a formal opportunity to discuss the document via a meeting or other forum.
Here is the link to the spreadsheet. We would like an initial pass from each author no later than Friday, Feb 15th.
