AGENDA
1. Development process
Two very different specifications from consultants had been
returned as a result of initial contact and an outline brief
for the development process / business plan production for
LBP.
It was agreed that a more precise brief was now a priority,
ensuring that consultation with stakeholders was an important
part of the process to identify shared vision, and a future
structure of governance that would have consensus with the
partners.
Action: Will to put together draft consultants
brief - to be then sent out to all members of the management
group for finalising. Pack of relevant documents would also
be sent out to consultants.
2. Funding strategy and management working group
It was agreed at the last project board meeting that LBP funding
issues would be covered in the business of the management
working group. There was some discussion about the need for
LBP project management guidelines for all partners, that would
compliment existing media and communications guidelines. These
would be particularly relevant for large projects.
Action: Jenny to report to next project board
our draft principles for project management of large LBP projects
The group agreed that Jan Hewlett should become a member of
the management working group. The group agreed that a funding
audit would be useful to identify precise funding opportunities
and timetables for funding applications. Jans time that she
has been allocated by the Greater London Authority to meet
funders would achieve this. Some prioritisation of LBP funding
needs may be appropriate in the near future to ensure that
limited matchfunding resources are also targetted and timetabled.
A consensus on the need and identification of priorities could
be part of the development process.
It was also agreed that Jan would consult with relevant NGO
partners before meeting specific funding bodies - to give
individual partners the opportunity to discuss existing or
emerging projects where relationship with these funders may
be significant.
