Leadership
The problem
Projects were bottlenecked on the small number of members confident enough to lead one.
Objectives
Give thirty members the specific skills a project lead needs, and let them practise on a real proposal rather than a hypothetical one.
What we did
Six weekly sessions on facilitation, proposal writing, budgeting and monitoring. Each participant submitted a real proposal for committee review at the end.
What we learned
Eleven of the thirty proposals were approved and four are now running. The cohort model works and will run twice a year.
