Reflections: 5th Day (Friday) - Tech Plan
If I were responsible for the writing of goals, indicators, benchmarks, and measures, I would first draft the goals myself (assuming that the needs assessments have been conducted with a large(r) group of people). Then I would take my draft to a small committee and revise, then I would take the revised draft to the large(r) group and revise again. The semantics of writing these goals are too cumbersome when a large group of individuals write every word together.
Comments
Excellent ideas. Jeff also discussed this semantics problem and I suggested to him exactly what you have written as your proposed M.O.
Sometimes the group gets too obsessed with the details rather than the larger ideas. You can provide the large ideas and let a subgroup (the detaily people) wordsmith if they so desire.
