Reflecting on our own practice…Salience - how important is this project /
initiative in your department / union / location compared to other competing initiatives?
Congruence - why are you pursuing this project / initiative? Is this goal congruent with the values and character of your department / union / location in terms of current practices?
Profitability - what are you hoping to achieve? How would this benefit students? Staff (of all kinds)? “The University”? Would they agree that these benefits matter?
