Recommendation 5
Where and when relevant/ efficient, International will delegate authority to individual and/ or multiple regions for evolving practice development and/ or initiatives
Recommendation 6
International will work with regions to ensure evolving practice efforts are supported through mentoring and dedicated IAP2 liaison persons (by initiative and/ or by region)
Recommendation 7
International will work with regions to explore the development of a Core Value Award related to ‘pushing the boundaries/ evolving practice’
Recommendation 4 & 5 implement research activities that advance the practice & delegate authority is important as this is the innovation area and I believe has been lacking. Although innovation in some organisations/regions, not necessary across the engagement sphere - need for more connection, innovation, increased sharing of successful practices and lobbying of why change and new techniques/methods/advancements are important. Stakeholder expectations are growing and the engagement practice needs to grow and develop with a recognised and credible representative organisation at the lead.
I agree with camden.yehle, Recommendation 7 will really help to stretch and support - "pushing the engagement boundaries" and provide recognition of people and organisations doing (or trying to do) innovative and evolving work practices
I especially like Recommendation 7, "International will work with regions to explore the development of a Core Value Award related to ‘pushing the boundaries/ evolving practice.’"
