<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />F" <br />lli <br />P <br />Uci <br /> <br />12 <br /> <br />--The Service's posture is relatively inflexible; it lacks vision and is <br />not creative; and is too slow to p.ick up on new ideas. <br /> <br />--Management should be willing to prioritize salinity control among its <br />programs and be willing to take the risks associated with decisions <br />necessary to reach prioritized goals. <br /> <br />Another area of concern is with the follow-through of decisions. The <br />Study Team found that many of the solutions and recommendations that it <br />identified for resolving the problems that came up had already been <br />suggested and indeed initiated. However, the continuing persistence of <br />these problems seem to indicate that, while the solutions were initiated, <br />there seemed to be little followup to see that they were in fact carried <br />out. <br /> <br />Most of those interviewed believed that the Overview Committee has served <br />a valuable role in providing a mechanism for discussion and coordination. <br />However, many indicated that improvement could and should be made. <br /> <br />Options: <br /> <br />A. Hold more frequent meetings of the Overview Committee. <br /> <br />B. Structure the meetings to include problem identification and resolution <br />activities, including the deciding of specific issues of priorities, <br />accountability, and interpersonal conflict. <br /> <br />.' <br /> <br />C. Reflect in the agenda the inputs and needs of all parties, and take and <br />communicate the minutes to all parties involved with the SCP within the <br />Service and where needed to those outside the Service. <br /> <br />D. Set, communicate, and abide by a consistent set of priorities (see <br />Setting and Communicating Priorities to Involved Entities.) <br /> <br />E. Establish a tracking procedure to insure that assignments and <br />responsibilities are accomplished. <br /> <br />F. Include major problem-solution assignments in performance standards <br />of person responsible. <br /> <br />G. Institutionalize some analytical decisionmaking risk assessment <br />procedures to better understand implications of risk. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />We strongly recommend Options B, C, D, and E and recommend looking into <br />A, F, and G. <br /> <br />Action Entity: Overview Committee <br />
