Huh, these are pretty vague & aspirational. (Overall I agree with the sentiments they’re expressing, but they’re not very specific about what changes to make to the status quo.)
Did these ideas get more cashed out / more operationalized at the Leaders Forum? Did organizations come away with specific next actions they will be taking towards realizing these ideas?
Those were excerpts of notes taken during a longer and more detailed discussion, for which I wasn’t in the room (since I was there for operations, not to take part in sessions).
My impression is that the discussion involved some amount of “cashing out and operationalization”. The end-of-event survey given to participants included a question: “Are there any actions you plan to take as a results of the Forum?” and several answers clearly hearkened back to these discussion topics. That survey was separate from the Priorities survey and participants took it without the expectation that answers would be shared, so I won’t go into specifics.
(I’ve shared this comment thread with a few attendees to whom I spoke about these issues, in case they want to say more.)
Ultimately the operationalising needs to be done by the organisations & community leaders themselves, when they do their own planning, given the details of how they interact with the community, and while balancing the considerations raised at the leaders forum against their other priorities.
