(1)The Core Ambassador Design Team: the team charged with core work of developing and refining the strategic plan through five published prototypes (1)The Extended Ambassador Design Team: The team charged with joining the core design team in key moments of plan development and with reviewing breakthrough/emerging programs from state, region, and nation. (1)The Strategy Review Team: Approximately 140 members of the community organized into small teams to provide actionable feedback on each prototype. (1)The Community at-Large: The community will be both formally and informally engaged through a process that includes a large-scale survey, no fewer than 20 community-led meetings throughout the state, and regular feedback from a group of 3,000 Rhode Islanders committed to supporting the process.

4. The Blueprint for the Final Product 7-10 pages, focused, measurable, and actionable Values The 5-7 core values that will be the drivers of the plan and the litmus test for eventual content Priority Areas & Key Outcomes Not more than 5 high level priority areas with ~ 3 key outcomes that characterize each Strategies The 3-5 significant action that RIDE will take over the next five years to advance the priority areas and achieve the key outcomes Established by RIDE: Measureable Objectives, Resourcing, and Operational Plans

8. ADT LAUNCH MEETING January 10, 2015

9. The Core and Extended Teams The Core Ambassador Design Team The team charged with developing and refining the strategic plan through five published prototypes. Will spend the majority of their time on developing draft content. The Extended Ambassador Design Team The team charged with co-writing sections of the plan with the core team during key moments of the plan development and with reviewing breakthrough/emerging programs from state, region, and nation.

10. Cycle 1 (Jan. 10 & 28) Goal: To select the core values that will serve as a foundation for the strategic plan RI survey results & team member beliefs The core plan values, expressed by the public and selected by the team Activity: Extended and Core Team will use quantitative, qualitative, and experiential data to discuss and later, reach consensus on 5-7 core plan values

11. Co-Facilitators of the Ambassador Design Team

12. Agenda from 1/10 Launch Meeting  Working through Survey Data Building on homework  Building empathy from reactions to data and interviews  Creating draft affinity maps of overlapping values
