• Deciding on a continuum rating
The determination of where your organisation is on the Continuum for each domain will likely be a balancing act – there will be some approaches, tools, policies, practices that are more locally led, and some that are more externally led. You will need to look at your current practice overall, and decide, on balance, where you are on the Continuum.

  • Importance of noting specifics of your current practice
Ensure you note examples of both the more locally led and more externally led factors of your practice for each domain, so in the future, when the organisation looks back on this document there is a clear reminder of what your practice was at this point, and how you made the Continuum determination.

  • Subjective nature of the ratings 
Like Tool 1, this is also a subjective exercise, aimed at promoting discussion and new and critical thinking within your organisation. It’s unlikely that staff participating in the exercise will have the same views on where the organisation are placed on the rating. The Continuum rating could change over time as your organisation changes who they consider a “Local Actor” and “External Actor”. The key outcome of this tool is the critical thinking, developing new viewpoints and the beginning of awareness that there are possibilities for new ways of operating.
