PROJECT PROGRAMME

From a question to a working decision

A proposed sequence for the working group. Scope and timing are agreed with participants.

Frame the question

This analytical direction helps members compare economic, technological and regulatory changes. Scenarios support discussion of possible consequences; they are not presented as exact forecasts.

Examine the options

Discuss the focus areas with specialists, compare assumptions and document information gaps.

Prepare a working output

Prepare a practical checklist, record decisions and agree how the group will review them.

TAKE PART

Bring your experience

Bring a question from your organisation, join an expert discussion or help assess an approach. An initial description should not contain confidential data.
