What is an Initiative?

An Initiative is a structured plan designed to ensure government actions are proactive, transparent, and cohesive. It is a standardized way of organizing every government action, from legislative proposals to executive orders, in a manner that is easily trackable and accessible to all stakeholders.

Components of an Initiative

• Vision: Envisioned actions, basic objectives, rationale, related mission areas, and a basic roadmap.

• Initial State: Initial conditions and key metrics (e.g., %, #, $, time, state description) that show the current status before changes.

• Objectives: Desired outcomes and corresponding metrics to measure progress.

• Roadmap: Detailed actions, roles, responsibilities, risks, and risk mitigation strategies required to achieve the objectives.

• Current State: Real-time status and metrics showing progress towards the objectives.

Why Standardize Initiatives?

Standardizing Initiatives ensures every government action is planned effectively, coordinated well, and transparent to all stakeholders. By creating a consistent format for all actions, it becomes easier to track progress, align responsibilities, and hold accountable those involved in the process. This approach is designed to move government operations away from being reactive and instead be proactive and accountable from the beginning.
