Developing Organisational Capability | Skills and Capability Framework | IN PROGRESS | We are planning to start with identifying complementary skills. The top level of the GAMSO framework could be used as a starting point for the work. |
Promotion Forum | IN PROGRESS | We need to update public wiki site of our Group regularly, and looking forward to getting proposals on fresh blog posts. We also need feedback on: what will draw you to this wiki site? and what you find the most useful? We can also consider to share national news on the blog and to add Discussion Forum, if useful. We will advertise public wiki page during the various UNECE Workshops, All Group members are also encouraged to share link to the wiki page with their colleagues. We are planning to prepare some handout about the work/outputs of our group for the CES session this June, maybe presentation at the CES with promotional video (it should be checked). In near future our promotional material should be interactive, short, sharp and action focused. We need to focus on the benefits we add to the NSO's, and demonstrate the value of the outputs to the higher degree. | |
Setting vision in NSOs | IN PROGRESS | We are planning to start work with the short questionnaire on how to define the best vision for NSO's. We need more people interested to contribute to the work on Setting Vision in NSO's. | |
Other | We are under the process of forming Organising Committee of the workshop on Culture Evolution. Andrew Mann from ABS agreed to be a chair of the Workshop. All members of this Group are asked to volunteer to be co-organisers of one of the proposed sessions of the Workshop, and when OC is formed, we will schedule separate, more frequent, calls to prepare this Workshop. It is proposed to have 2 co-organisers for every session. | ||
