Involving Stakeholders - Representation vs. Delegation (#18 in the Hut Introduction to Project Management)
By JISC infoNet
Representation
Attempts to take in the full range of views, interest groups and organisational units as part of the full decision making process. Characterised by democratic, committee-type decision-making.i.e. resource devoted fully to project.
- Advantages
- Covers full range of views
- An obvious route to gain widespread acceptance of decisions
- Disadvantages
- Involves people who may have limited knowledge of the subject area
- Slows decision-making
- Can result in compromises which don’t really represent ‘best fit’ in any particular area
Delegation
Delegates responsibility to those identified as being best suited to the job.
- Advantages
- Work carried out by those with appropriate skills and knowledge
- Permits project to move forward more rapidly
- Disadvantages
- Acceptance relies on trust in those delegated - may be an alien approach in the education culture
- Needs care to ensure that all relevant issues are properly understood and covered
JISC infoNet aims to be the UK’s leading advisory service for managers in the post-compulsory education sector promoting the effective strategic planning, implementation and management of information and learning technology.
