Human Resource Development

Developing your tribal human resources is key to your success. As mentioned earlier, it is not possible to understate the importance of a tribal champion. While this graphic is not comprehensive, it identifies the key input and interactions that must take place for successful project implementation. Tribal loads, technology options, and markets are the more technical elements that require investigation and dialogue. Legal, environmental, and financing issues are often more challenging than the more technical elements. The job of the champion is to integrate this information into a coherent, time-based strategic plan for review and concurrence of the tribal council. Projects can then move forward, in cooperation with the relationships that have been built with various tribal and other experts used to help assemble the plan.
