Thanks Andy. Very interesting but two things strike me having read the material. First it makes no claims to being a citizen-centric driven transformation method, and second it puts organization change very much at the heart of the method. Two very important aspects that the TGF disagrees with. Having said that I don’t think we want to go head-to-head with them. It should be more about how do we align theirs with ours. If Champs2 is a “method” and the TGF is a “framework” how do these two things fit together? Perhaps that’s what the Socitm workshop needs to focus on.
Views please from everybody.
John

Subject: As promised at the last TC call...CHAMPS2 Business Change Method
Please pass on to the TGF e-mail list.
As promised at the last TC call...some information about....CHAMPS2 Business Change Method
- The text below is lifted from the community/information website homepage at http://www.champs2.info/ (look at the embeded links first to get the overview)
- The full detail of all the processes, templates etc. is only viewable if you register on the website - all free, Creative Commons licensed
- APMG are offering training and certification in the method
- I understand City of Sydney are using it and there's >1000 persons registered on the website. I can find out more if necessary.
Because it is a 'method', it's a candidate to be part of wider 'frameworks', such as TGF? If so, where might it fit most naturally?
