“Rules” of the Road

• Collect as many ideas as possible with no criticisms or judgments made while ideas are being generated.

• All ideas are welcome no matter how silly or far out they seem. Be creative.

• Every person and every idea has equal worth • Don’t focus on detail. Keep ideas at a high level.

• Build on others' ideas.

• Reverse the thought of 'quality over quantity.' Here we want quantity; the more creative ideas the better.

• Write all ideas on a flipchart so the whole group can easily see them.

• Respect timeframes.

How Do We Get There – Break-out Session

1. From the group list choose one priority item from each of the assigned four categories.

2. Identify what actions/activities the Partnership needs to undertake to get there.

3. Identify any gaps to be addressed or barriers to overcome.

4. If time permits, go back and do another.

5. Report back to the larger group.

Developing the Action Plan

• Each organization to put labels on the 1 – 5 priorities.

• Identify the priorities based on numbers.• Define the priority activities and outcomes (mini

scope)• Go through each one and look at timeframes

(2007, 2008, or 2009)• Who would like to participate in scoping of the

items, define roles, participants and develop high-level actions plan.
