Guidance
Attendance by the entire appraisal team at the executive sessions is a tailoring
option.
The executive session is also an appropriate opportunity to review appraisal
performance with the appraisal sponsor and/or senior site manager, and
planned versus actual execution of the appraisal plan, including method
tailoring. This provides additional input on the appropriate expectations for
interpreting and handling the appraisal results.
The draft ADS may optionally be provided during the executive session
instead of at the conclusion of the final findings briefing as discussed in
activity 3.1.1, Present Final Findings.
The intent of the executive sessions is to ensure that the appraisal sponsor
and/or the senior site manager have a sound understanding of the appraisal
results. Any feedback obtained from these executive sessions should be
recorded. All rules for confidentiality and non-attribution are still in effect.
