Structuring

The elements of the stakeholder alignment model on structuring are the focus, which includes a shared vision, charter, and metrics. Charter elements typically include the preamble, values, stakeholder value prepositions, shared vision, and governance of a consortium. The specification of key performance indicators (KPIs) goes beyond throughput measures, such as the number of participants attending workshops, to include societal impacts. KPIs are a crucial source of feedback for any organization. The evolution of the Protein Data Bank (PDB), governed through a consortium, illustrates how changes in the underlying science impact the evolution of the consortium.
