Results
- Five root-cause problems identified
- Recommendations on teamwork, resources and decision making
- Better relationships between academics and managers

Every assignment starts with a conversation about what needs to happen because of the session. We agree the outcome, turn it into clear objectives, then design the process backwards from there, using the ProMeet method and whichever tools serve the outcome. Read more about meeting facilitation.
