The leaders decided on the next next GBVF Maturity 30-Day Project(s) to get underway
Here are ways to support the Project Sponsor and leaders next week, to ensure each of these decisions turns into action.
Extending the 30-Day Project by a week or two
- Help the leaders, through the sponsor, schedule a “final” Scale-up session at the end of the agreed period. This will bring closure to the team.
- Prepare the team for this Workshop. Use the same agenda and preparatory steps as the Scale-up Workshop. But adjust this to build on what was shared at the initial Scale-up Workshop.
- Ask the sponsor to follow up with leaders who committed to support the team in implementing its Last Sprint Plan.
Commitments to implement "sustaining recommendations "
- Follow up with leaders who have signed up as “owners” of each recommendation and ensure they are clear on the action to be taken. Offer to support them.
- Encourage the leadership to include an update on “sustaining the gains” in their monthly management meetings.
- Help leaders put in place mechanisms to continually track the impact indicator the team focused on, e.g., the number of staff members coming forward to file a complaint about a GBV-related offence.
- Encourage the communications or human resources department to include updates on the issues addressed in the 30-Day Project and related stories in employee newsletters and similar venues.
Decision on the next GBVF Maturity 30-Day Projects
- Make sure a sponsor and a coach are assigned to each 30-Day Project that will be launched. The team leader is a natural choice for becoming a coach.
- Organise an orientation session for the sponsors and coaches so you can share your experience and hand off the baton. As part of this, introduce them to the online learning platform, and share with them the ‘advice to future 30-Day Project Teams’ prepared by your team (and possibly other teams).
