Inputs
Work informed by:
Case studies describing innovative approaches
Open discussions by participants
Open approach to resources and discussions
Note the cultural of openness and sharing is dependent on you – you may decide to ‘batten down the hatches until the storm is over’. Note, however, the prisoner’s dilemma: “ fundamental problem in game theory that demonstrates why two people might not cooperate even if it is in both their best interests to do so ”

Outputs
Outputs from activity:
Access to resources
Access to discussions
Synthesis report based on future events
Note if you contribute in an open fashion you (a) are likely to obtain feedback which may enhance your ideas and (b) receive acknowledgements regarding your innovative approaches. But also give clear signal if you wish to talk off the record.
