The Project Facilitator Support group supports the people or person doing Project Facilitation for TTL.The group is evolving - this is a new draft statement of the purpose of the group.

We work closely with this person. We have objectives and responsibilities that are shared with them - there are also objectives/responsibilities that are specific to each of us. These are described under the headings below:

Our shared objectives include:

  • Meeting TTL's purpose statement.
  • Working with TTL's Principles (and where necessary helping to evolve the Principles).
  • Ensuring the contract is carried out well.
  • Ensuring carrying out the contract is enjoyable and provides learning.

Our shared responsibilities include:

  • Effective and clear communication amongst us all, including openness and honesty at all times.
  • Appropriate communication to the rest of TTL about all things to do with the PF role (what it does, how it is working etc).
  • Ensuring there are jointly agreed and realistic objectives.
  • Ensuring there is a practical workable and feedback system for the contract.

Specific responsibilities for the person doing the Project Facilitaion Contract include:

  • Carrying out the contract properly and to the best of their ability.
  • Taking responsibilty for all logistical/HR/administrative and other issues relating to the role.
  • Agreeing with the PFSG any changes to the contract.
  • Being proactive in all the above.

The PFSG's specific responsibilities include:

  • Giving whatever support (coaching, mentoring, advice or whatever) is needed.
  • Helping provide access to any resources (including contacts, information) needed.
  • Giving regular and clear feedback.
  • Performing regular progress checking.
  • Agreeing/negotiating any changes to the contract.
  • Ensuring best practice standards for fulfilling TTL's end of the contract.
  • Working where necessary to add to or modify the whole TTL system so that the contract is successful.

How we know if the Project Facilitation is successful -
success criteria are:

  • Grow the active involvement in TTL
  • Ensure sufficient funds can be secured to enable TTL activities to continue into 2009 and beyond.
  • Grow the broader enthusiasm for TTL in Lewes.
  • Ensure that more of the processes involved in running TTL become more systematic (and therefore take less effort).
  • Build new connections and improve the quantity and quality of the connections in the network and around it.
  • Enable further learning within the TTL network.
  • Identify issues within the TTL system and work with others to facilitate their solution.
