Ideally, the strategic team should be kept small as possible while still including representation from every group the plan will affect. Ask for volunteers, have the superintendent or others in a leadership role recruit representatives from the different constituent groups, or ask the groups themselves to select individual to represent them on the team. While volunteers should rarely be turned away, a combination of the other two approaches is generally more effective. By delegating such details to experts and them working together as an entire group to support and possibly modify the experts' recommendations, the team manages to remain efficient. In fact, it is a safe bet that if you plan for even a few months without taking any action, you will lose momentum.
