| + | * Time, workshops to explore - facilitation has helped | ||
| + | * New dimensions brought in from CGF (e.g. other labs and communities) | ||

| + | * Individual initiative starts the ball rolling (e.g. Heather - Plastics, Giles - Vision/ | ||

| + | |||
| + | == Time! == | ||
| + | * Time to deliver our potential of all ideas and projects | ||
| + | * Finding enough time to engage outside of project ideas are not core business | ||
| + | * More time thinking and developing a framework for evaluation | ||
| + | * Retain energy over longer term; retain energy once in project delivery mode | ||
| + | * Communication between meetings; time to do things and connect between meetings (though it is happening); Embedding CoLAB work between workshops - last minute flurry of preparation for each one. | ||
| + | * Information overload - not always possible to digest what is shared | ||

| + | * Promotion of ideas and approaches to wider community | ||
| + | * Connecting to other things happening at CGF: other projects and areas of work CGF supports + learning from other work CGF supported | ||
| + | * System to enable dissemination of thoughts and approaches and coalesce (?) | ||
| + | * (fishermen, mpa’s, pollution) | ||
| + | * Ability to integrate others in some aspects, without losing cohesion of the group | ||
| + | * Creative communications - communicating complex concepts, training… | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Organisational buy-in == | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Dedicated staff | ||
