CGOV.17:4.3 - Locate the missing contribution and its cause far enough to act

Follow the corporate task to the first consequential gap. C.36.RP, Sustain and Renew Shared Ways of Working, supplies the general method.

Ask whether participants can obtain the input, recognize when the method applies, perform or obtain the operation, interpret its result and use it in the corporate work. Distinguish a capability gap from a condition that prevents an available capability from being expressed.

For example, a director may understand a cash forecast but receive it after the decision. A new committee member may have the information yet be unable to interpret a control exception. A capable member may stop questioning proposals when the chair repeatedly excludes those questions. These situations call respectively for information provision, learning or capable support, and repair of the working arrangement.

Recover constituent work where it matters. A correct calculation can still be unusable in deliberation if its assumption is lost in the summary. CGOV.16 helps locate that connection and retain the contributions that remain sound.
