a
critical
partner.

BRIEFING
BEGINS
[Facilitator

&

are
at
the
front
of
the
room.]
FACILITATOR
1:
Thank
you
for
coming
to
this
important
briefing.
I
am
[facilitator
1
name],
Prosperity
Foundation
Program
Manager
and
lead
staff
on
Springfield’s
P-­Prize
Project.
My
colleague
is
[facilitator
2
name],
Mayor
Simpson’s
Make-­It-­Happen
specialist
and
lead
staff
on
the
P
Prize
Project.
[Facilitator
2]
has
been
working
with
us
at
the
Foundation
to
make
sure
citizens
and
business
and
community
leaders
have
the
opportunity
to
contribute
to
Prosperity
Prize
planning
and
implementation.
First
let
me
say
what
an
honor
it
is
for
the
Prosperity
Foundation
to
help
you
reimagine
and
rebuild
prosperity
in
the
City
of
Springfield.
As
a
native
of
the
city,
I
have
watched
as
we
grasped
at
one
straw
after
another,
never
managing
to
channel
sufficient
resources
into
what
were
otherwise
sound
strategies
for
a
better
future.
It
is
my
hope
and
life’s
ambition
to
make
sure
the
P
Prize
fills
that
gap.
As
you
may
know,
Springfield
emerged
as
a
finalist
during
the
Foundation’s
last
Board
meeting,
but
it
was
the
serious
commitment
of
the
Mayor,
City
Council,
Chambers
and
Business
Associations,
and
citizens
from
across
the
region
to
drawing
on
our
manufacturing
heritage
to
support
the
emergence
of
new
industry
in
the
region,
building
on
the
recent
success
of
Greenforce,
and
its
wildly
successful
clean-­fuel
commercial
engine.
In
this,
the
first
of
our
community
engagement
sessions,
we
plan
to
solicit
your
input
-­
to
inform
our
initial
strategic
approach.

Most
of
you
are
from
the
City
of
Springfield,
Lincoln
County
or
surrounding
area.
We
called
you
here
for
one
of
three
reasons:
1. You
were
nominated
by
your
neighbors,
colleagues,
and
peers
as
“people
in
the
know”
about
the
content
of
our
work
–
you
might
have
industry
knowledge,
data
expertise,
or
experience
in
workforce
development,
cornerstones
of
the
P
Prize
approach.
2. You
have
demonstrated
your
capacity
to
organize
communities
around
important
work
in
your
businesses,
agencies,
or
organizations.
3. You
are
an
operations
person
–
you
know
how
to
get
things
done,
measure
progress
toward
big
goals,
and
improve
processes
along
the
way.
Today,
we
need
your
help.
You
will
be
divided
into
teams
and
asked
to
begin
working
on
a
five-­minute
briefing
for
City
Leaders
on
next
steps
for
the
Prosperity
Project.
But
first,
for
those
of
you
who
missed
either
yesterday’s
press
conference
or
this
morning’s
newscast
on
your
commute
here,
we
have
KWRK’s
Alison
Gash
live
in
downtown
Springfield.
[Facilitator
2
name],
Do
we
have
Alison?
FACILITATOR
2
responds
and
plays
video.
FACILITATOR
1:
In
20
minutes
we
will
be
linked
to
City
Hall,
where
the
Mayor,
City
Officials
and
Prosperity
Foundation
Trustees
will
want
to
hear
from
you.
We
will
need
each
of
your
teams
to
provide
a
5-­minute
briefing
that
addresses
the
following
questions:
1. What
are
the
most
important
goals
we
should
aspire
to
in
order
to
move
us
toward
regional
prosperity
–
buoyed
by
a
strong
manufacturing
industry
-­
by
2016?
2. What
are
the
most
essential
industry/jobs/workforce
strategies
we
should
employ
and
why?
What
policies
would
need
to
shift
in
order
to
implement
these
strategies?
3. What
are
the
most
critical
community-­wide
engagement
approaches
strategies
we
need
to
employ?
Remember,
you
were
asked
here
to
share
your
experience
and
expertise.
We
invite
you
to
be
bold,
courageous,
and
take
a
long
view.
This
is
a
once-­in-­a-­lifetime
opportunity
and
City
leaders
and
Prosperity
Foundation
Trustees
are
looking
to
you
to
help
realize
it.

3
Questions
FACILITATOR
1:
Oh,
I
see
a
question
from
the
audience?
FACILITATOR
3
(he/she
is
a
plant)
asks
the
following
questions
and
FACILITATOR
1
responds.
Q:
Is
there
anyone
else
we
can
contact
right
now
for
help?
A:
No,
city
leaders
seek
your
input
(and
cell
phones
don’t
work
in
this
room).
Q:
Can
we
leave
the
room?
A:
No,
we
need
your
full
attention
on
this
task.
Q:
Can
we
break
into
smaller
groups
to
work?
A:
You
will
notice
that
you
have
numbers
on
your
nametags.
In
the
event
that
we
had
a
significant
turnout,
and
we
do,
we
assigned
each
of
you
a
number,
and
each
number
a
place
in
the
room
to
work.
Please
break
up
into
your
assigned
groups
to
get
started.
After
that,
you
may
organize
yourselves
in
any
way
you
see
fit.
Okay,
we
need
to
begin.
You
have
20
minutes.
[Facilitator
2]
and
I
will
be
making
sure
you
have
what
you
need
and
are
available
to
help
if
you
get
stuck.
[Facilitator
3],
as
a
volunteer
from
the
audience,
has
offered
to
help
us
document
this
session,
so
he
will
also
be
available
to
assist.
Again,
in
20
minutes,
we
will
be
linked
to
the
City
Council
session
where
City
leaders
and
prosperity
foundation
officials
await
your
input.
Each
group
will
have
five
minutes
to
present.
[Let
participants
work
for
20
minutes.]
FACILITATOR
2:
I
have
the
Prosperity
Team
by
satellite,
are
we
ready
to
report
back?
FACILITATOR
1:
Yes
we
are.
FACILITATOR
2:
Looks
like
we
are
now
ready
for
the
briefing.
Unfortunately
we
only
have
a
one-­way
satellite
link.
We
won’t
be
getting
a
live
feed
from
them
but
they
will
receive
live
feed
from
us.
I’d
like
to
ask
the
first
group
to
present
their
plan
(5
minutes).
[Have
each
group
present.]

After
the
Report-­‐outs
FACILITATOR
1:
Round
of
applause.
Thanks
for
this.
It
is
clear
that
the
Springfielders
are
in
good
hands
–
or
are
they?
Let’s
step
out
of
our
roles
for
a
moment
and
consider
what
just
happened.
We
would
like
to
hear
from
you
about
the
experience
you
just
went
through,
unpack
it
a
bit.
[Asks
the
following
questions
allowing
the
audience
to
respond
before
moving
to
the
next
question.]
On
Leadership:
-­‐ How
did
leaders
in
your
groups
emerge?
-­‐ In
what
ways
did
they
demonstrate
leadership?
-­‐ Did
the
role
of
“leader”
shift
in
your
group?
Why?
When?
What
kinds
of
roles
did
different
leaders
play?
On
Decisions:
-­‐ How
did
you
make
decisions?
What

(limitations)
On
Policy,
Challenges,
Changes:
-­‐ What
policy
issues
emerged
that
are
similar

those
you
work
with
at
home?
-­‐ What
challenges
would
you
run
into
if
Springfield
were
your
community
and
you
were
charged
with
taking
your
group’s
recommendations
forward?
-­‐ How
would
you
solve
them?
-­‐ What
would
you
have
done
differently
if
you
had
to
do
it
over
again?
In
your
role
as
Business
Service
Representatives,
how
might
you
use
leadership
to
improve
outcomes
in
your
community?
