Description:

1.1.2.6 Generalized Relationships with Stakeholder-Based Governance

Purpose of resource/document

This resource graphs common relationships between various levels of stakeholder-based governance entities and judicial branch education personnel. This chart is only one example of how these relationships may interface; stakeholder-based governance entities and judicial branch education personnel positions and responsibilities differ from one organization to another.

The chart may be used in several ways.  One discussion point is how the types of relationships between stakeholders and judicial branch educators may differ depending on organizational levels. For example, the policy level of stakeholder-based governance works with the judicial branch education department director or manager; this relationship may be a partnership.  The advisory level may work with managers or supervisors in the department; this may be a cooperative relationship.  The planning level (for programs and courses) works with individual judicial branch education personnel; this may be a superior-inferior relationship.  Other discussion points might include how the various stakeholder groups view judicial branch educators as a whole, how to effectively define the various relationships, or how to generate an overarching type of relationship rather than differing types based on organizational levels.

Use of resource/document

This resource would be useful when discussing how to develop and/or enhance stakeholder-based governance [see C, a, i, 3, Clearly defining relationships to judicial branch education personnel, pg. 17 in the curriculum design].  Judicial branch educator learners may expand or refine the resource during discussion based on their experience and/or local governance environment.

The Basics of Governance in Judicial Branch Education
 
Generalized Relationships With Stakeholder-Based Governance

Judicial branch education is often based on blended governance from the administrative organization and from stakeholder groups.  If stakeholder-based governance is comprehensive, there may be several levels of stakeholder groups working under guidance from a policy-level stakeholder group.  Often, if there are several levels of stakeholder-based governance, they work directly with various individuals in the judicial branch education department.
