Guidelines for conversations
Ideas on making the groups effective

1.The topic is a starter only – if the group want to wander off topic that’s fine
-
2.Be open and honest – you are with friends. Challenge assumptions. Don’t stay silent just to be ‘nice’. Listen.
-
3.Look for opportunities for research, collaboration, training, consulting or further discussion. Document all these

4.Be specific in your findings and be prepared to write more detail later
-
5.Appoint someone to debrief and to record the conversation for later publication if appropriate.
