Synthesis Testing
In addressing these questions please keep in mind purpose of
the report and its primary audience?
Are we supporting a new edge of learning or rehashing a lot of
good work already available? What is the edge? Is the
leadership point of view coming through strongly enough?
Should we be proactive in raising common concerns, (e.g.
accountability, decision making, control, power) and how
should we address them?
What case studies would be most helpful to this audience?
