Feedback and Known Issues

The BIG Website and Body of Knowledge are developed and sustained by volunteers. The material is not being presented through professional publishers as the purpose of our community interest company is to share the knowledge for free.

This means that while a huge amount of effort has gone into preparation – and some funding into proof reading – there are known / unknown issues.

We know some people are distracted – even offended by minor issues, and will disregard very good content for the presence of a silly tipo.

This page lists some known issues and pending improvement suggestions for the Body of Knowledge – but the purpose of the page is really about inviting anyone to let us know about more.

Please email us on Info@big-cic.org to make a suggestion or highlight an issue so we can add / polish it out when we have time.

To help us – we’d ask for suggestions where possible. For example, saying “I’d reword this sentence if I were you” is not as helpful as a proposed, reworded sentence.

The update cycle will be happening regularly – as time permits.

Known Issues / Suggestions

ID	Issue	Pending Action	Comment
001	Chapter 5 Edit content in principles to ““Independent Assurance provides checks and balances”	To do
002	Foreword Include pictures with people on the foreword	To do
003	General Include Chapter summaries in the material	To provide in the online Knowledge Outline
004	Foreword Shorten the foreword	Consider for print version
005	Management Summary Revise opening paragraph in the Management Summary – too corporate governance focused?	Consideration pending suggestion
006	Management Summary Can we make 2nd para all about the research and failure / success rates of strategy delivery – clearly state the problem that we are addressing?	Consideration pending suggestion	Not sure this is necessary and covered in later chapters.
007	Management Summary BIG can also be applied tactically to address specific governance, assurance, and accountability issues, achieving greater efficiency and effectiveness in delivery processes and related governance” is a poor reflection of BIG
008	Remove sentences on implementation from the management summary	Declined – the summary would leave the summary being a partial summary
009	Purpose Remove “It assists senior sponsors and change programmes to enhance organisational performance” as this is talked about later	Pending Consideration
010	Purpose Remove repeat of the “challenges” mentioned earlier in the management summary	Pending Consideration	But this is what the management summary is summarising.
