• Open agenda…..at least for starters!
• No real top table.
• Participants not delegates….that’s everyone.
• Getting to know you.
• Getting to know your place.
• Learning together…..skilling up.
• Flexible roles not fixed ones.
• Matching vision, aspiration, with an ability
to articulate both……quickly!
• Getting it down on paper.
• Signing up to Charter as mandate and
manifesto.
