LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR TBILISI ... - LED

3.2. Process of writing the Corporate City Development Plan
3.2.1. Organization of teams dealing with the Plan development
In the process the works of preparatory and conceptual character were
separated from the decision-making at different stages of the Plan
development.
The team organisation and the allocation of tasks were based on the rule that
the selected groups of specialists performed all the works that required
professional skills according to the best practice principle. The teams
selected in such a way could quickly come to common conclusions. It should
be emphasised how vast the range of problems addressed in the Plan was.
The ability to synthesize problems is very useful in this process. Decision
makers and stakeholders are not involved in document preparatory works -
stakeholders consult The Mayor and City Council before they will take final
decisions. Detailed tasks and harmonogram of work is presented later in the
next chapter.
By the City Mayor directive the following teams should be appointed to
develop the Plan:
• The City Development Council – stakeholder group,
• Inter-sector Team of City Development Programme,
• Working Team.
