Project Close-Out
The end of a project is a chance to clarify what stories might want to be elevated and woven into the broader tapestry of a project’s origin story. Are there climate smart attributes that are worth highlighting? Can sourcing pathways be graphically represented into a supply chain map that may be useful for future projects to follow? Are there communities or specific landowners that may want to contribute aspects of their own stories into the broader project story?
Closing out a project has a myriad of lingering loose-ends to wrap up and documentation to chase down. Often teams are excited to move onto their next project, but it’s important to remember that documenting what was learned and what might be possible on the next project is extremely valuable both to the organizations that compose the project team, but more broadly to other teams within the industry as well. It’s the accumulation and dissemination of these stories and lessons learned that can manifest true market transformation toward utilizing more climate smart wood.
