Follow-up/Action

Check-in

Tim

If you are scheduled to come to a meeting – but know you will be late, don’t worry about it. It’s OK and we understand you are all very busy.There was some discussion of doing more surveying and we spoke to Dr. Daniels about this. While we are doing more follow-up sessions, we will need to wrap the sessions up by Nov. 13th. We are on a tight deadline.We will be doing another survey to the staff and we will also be out in the community gaining input from them.

Refining Content

Chris

Chris made visuals of the key concepts from the 5 areas discussed in the sessions. He turned these words into word-clouds. What we will do today is refine this list. (lump and clump) Each group has been given a laptop along with one category to discuss. Groups will use the loaded excel sheet to work on the data and then will report out.

Process for assessing our environments

Diane

We need to make progress on the Inputs. (This means many things are changing and before we do any planning, we need to be fully aware of the things that impact our planning)By the end of Dec. our goal is to have the strategic directives completed. (Current plan: Access, directive and continuous improvement)

We will take the three to five strategic directives this group sets and sub-groups will set processes and measures. We will also be taking the directives out to the community to gain their input in Feb. and in March we will go out again.
