  3. The processSuccessesE-survey for needs assessmentSkype sessions for agenda setting and ownershipThe presentation round of the members Work in small group was a good idea leading to concrete results very productive. The level of the discussions was high. Less successfulDuring the case work the Dgroup was very silent and not all members had registered for sub-groupsTime planning: people are busy so all phases took longer then expected
