Preliminary Summary of One-year Review Work Groups asked to report on the effectiveness of CAPT (Official Report Coming Soon) CAPT works well as a information exchange channel, as a sounding board or vetting mechanism for decisions and ideas, and as an idea generator Consensus is that the formation of the work groups themselves has been very effective – especially for improving communications and empowering local decision making CAPT seems too unwieldy for strategic planning or making decisions But at least some of the work groups appreciate the autonomy this affords them in being nimble and making their own decisions CAPT could improve how the regular meetings are organized with less time for reporting and more time for active discussion CAPT should make more time for longer-term planning
