When to join a decision team

Warning

There is no standardised way of identifying when it is appropriate to join a decision team or of describing the role and responsibilities. The following information is offered as guidance. The Decision Pipeline includes a regular update process through which individual products, processes and activities may be updated or identified for improvements.

Any Member or employee of the co-op may join a decision team, at any point in the decision process, if they wish to do so.

Joining a decision may be particularly appropriate if you:

  • Have a particular interest in a decision; or,

  • Hold a strong opinion on the outcome of a decision; or,

  • Have skills, experiences or that would lead to a better decision; or,

  • Have the capacity to work on shaping a decision; or,

  • Want to gain experience of decision-making and consensus-building processes.

Joining a decision team means that you will take an active and responsible role in a particular decision (see How to use the decision pipeline as decision team member).

If you just want input into a decision then a stakeholder role may be more appropriate.
