We did this last year. It didn't really pan out well. Whether that's because of the themes that were set or something else, I have no idea.
For whatever reason, we basically got those themes by accident. I
No we didn't. Come on, that's trying to hand-wave away the lack of buy-in we got on the themes.
Oh, no, I mean the same thing you are saying. We didn't get them because people were super-enthusiastic about them, we got them because people were like, "sure, sounds good" — not a lot of buy-in, as you say.
They weren't bad. They were tied to existing Objectives. People just didn't go with it. We did exactly what Brian is proposing and it failed. We need to figure out why, not just do it again and hope it works better.
We've basically had this problem around the Objectives idea in general. I was expecting we'd have more than we could deal with and would have to choose, rather than the current state.
Agreed. I'd add that for those we do have currently, there hasn't been much in the way of publicity or communication outside the group doing that Objective. We need to get better about that as well. Perhaps if others "see" more of how an Objective goes from a proposal to completion it might encourage more submissions.
