Identifying project drivers

The Priority / Timescale exercise will have defined the projects that the community wants to do and will have given a timescale and a priority for each.

The Delivery workshop should have established possible sources of support.

Project "drivers" should now be appointed. These are individuals who will take the individual responsibility for making the project happen . A simple "auction" is often the best way to appoint drivers. This could be done at the same time as running the delivery workshop.

One activities adopted by a "driver" should be the preparation of a business plan (and application for funding if this is appropriate).

The next step is for the drivers to form teamlets.

Here's a newsletter (pdf download 76K ) which shows how the Kensington Wired Up Community in Liverpool, UK, prioritised projects and recruited project drivers.
