Thanks Andy. Very interesting but two things strike me having read the material. First it makes no claims to being a citizen-centric driven transformation method, and second it puts organization change very much at the heart of the method. Two very important aspects that the TGF disagrees with. Having said that I don’t think we want to go head-to-head with them. It should be more about how do we align theirs with ours. If Champs2 is a “method” and the TGF is a “framework” how do these two things fit together? Perhaps that’s what the Socitm workshop needs to focus on. Views please from everybody.

Thanks, Andy As promised at the last TC call...some information about.... CHAMPS2 Business Change Method The text below is lifted from the community/information website homepage at http://www.champs2.info/ (look at the embeded links first to get the overview) The full detail of all the processes, templates etc. is only viewable if you register on the website - all free, Creative Commons licensed APMG are offering training and certification in the method I understand City of Sydney are using it and there's >1000 persons registered on the website. I can find out more if necessary. Because it is a 'method', it's a candidate to be part of wider 'frameworks', such as TGF? If so, where might it fit most naturally?
