WHY DIDN’T THE PROCESS WORK?
Keywords:
public policy, mission and visionAbstract
Mayor Collins can’t understand what went wrong. He did everything he was supposed to do. Since he became Mayor of Summerville three years ago, he has worked tirelessly on behalf of the town. He brought in consultants to create the town’s first vision plan. Hundreds of people participated in the visioning sessions, but when the final plan was made public, a small group of people became vocal in their opposition to major components of the plan. He followed the process. The law is on his side, but how do you proceed when people are determined to become obstacles?
