Sourcing staff
| Key questions | Aim | Risks in getting it wrong |
| What staff do you already have? | Existing staff are absorbed into the new team if they have the right profile but hard decisions are taken when they don’t. See existing programmes. | You may have the wrong staff |
| Do the people you need to recruit actually exist? | Assumptions about the chances to fill positions, especially programme managers, are realistic, see pool | Recruitment is impossible |
| How can you access them and how long will it take? | All available mechanisms are used to ensure the right staff are recruited and deployed as quickly as possible, see surge mechanism |
Recruitment is slow Overworked staff, poor programme delivery |
