Some things your nation, community or organisation will need to consider and decide when you are starting a governance development plan:
- What is your vision for your future governance and self-determination as a group?
- What issues and areas of your governance do you want to work on first?
- Who needs to be involved in doing it with you?
- What do you know about your governance issues already and what else do you need to find out?
- What are your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and risks in tackling the issues and making the changes?
- What are your ideas and solutions for addressing the governance problems you’ve identified?
- What are your new goals and objectives for these problem areas?
- What resources, additional support or skills do you need?
- How are you going to make it happen—what actions will you take? When will those be done and by whom?
- How will you know you’re making the progress you want?
- How will you know you need to make more changes or refinements?
