Challenge Guidelines

Fellows need to lead from the perspective of the CEO and the whole enterprise.
Content managers need to consider business viewpoints and advertising executives need to consider editorial managers viewpoints.
The challenge should cover a project that is key to the organization's sustainability in the market.
The challenge should be something it would take 10-20 months to accomplish successfully.
There is a performance expectation with each challenge. Fellows must set goals that answer the question, "What does success looks like?"
The challenge needs to involve people of the enterprise beyond the Fellow. Everyone involved should feel at risk when they commit to take on the challenge and succeed at it.
The challenge should not be "business as usual" - success at tackling the challenge should demand new abilities and ways of working.
The challenge must be "ripe," so that it makes sense to tackle it during the year the Fellow is participating in the Punch Sulzberger Program.
