Project 3.4 - Accountability and following through

Pillar outcome: Driving Change Well

Issues

• It’s easy to get busy with our day jobs, which makes sticking to deadlines hard.
• The resources to back the task aren’t always there.
• Need to overcome resistance and old habits, for people to understand what’s in it for them, build a shared understanding and maintain visibility.
• Staff and Member accountability – who’s responsible?
• Other roadblocks: The Rule, cyclical and iterative change.

Identified task(s)

• Change framework: structured plan at a State Council / State CEO level. A working group at a National level with representatives from States and Territories.
• Continuing conversations: everyone at Congress has a responsibility to return to their Councils and share the stories and successes of Congress 2023⁺.
• During our state groups, have a discussion around who would be interested in joining the ‘Accountability Committee’.
• Create a permanent agenda item in meetings concerning change.

Success indicator(s)

• Structured plan, broken down into achievable bits, and sticking to deadlines.
• Shared understanding and clarity, with regular reporting, good data and visibility.
• Network of leaders of change.
• Accountability at local level too.
• Base change on spirit, not the written word.
