Achieving results in sprints
In order to be able to achieve rapid results on concrete issues and a wide variety of topics, we work in initiatives in the CommTech WG. These can be broadly differentiated by scope, setup, goals, and outcomes:
- 1-3 contributors
- approx. 4 weeks
- Goal: Concrete question
- Asset: Statement, Podcast, Social, Post
- 3-7 contributors
- Approx. 8-12 weeks
- Goal: Sketch
- Asset: press release, webinar, whitepaper, technical paper
- 8-12 contributors
- Approx. 3-6 months
- Goal: Plan
- Asset: Study, Conference, Publication
The initiatives are assigned to the five topic clusters Organization, Technology, Stakeholder Journey, Impact Measurement and Roles, Skills and Leadership (More on working methods). Ideas for initiatives can be contributed by all members.
They become active as soon as (and only if) at least one person agrees to take the lead and thus becomes a facilitator of the initiative. Facilitators organize the initiative. You will establish the project goal with the group, invite to meetings, report the progress of the initiatives in Planner in AG CommTech Teams and contribute to the publication of the results. Facilitators receive support from the respective executive sponsors from the leadership circle.
Communication in the CommTech working group takes place via the CommTech team, to which you will be invited as soon as you become a member become a member. Here you will find a channel for each of the five topic clusters and the interest groups as well as a general information channel so that you can easily exchange information with other members at any time. You can also use the topic cluster channels if you want to open an initiative yourself and are looking for fellow campaigners.
You can find an overview of currently running initiatives as well as already completed initiatives on this website as well as on our Trello board. The latter is not for detailed communication within/between initiatives (we use teams for that), but for overview for Facilitators and Executive Sponsors.
