  9. Inputs • Work informed by: • Case studies describing innovative approaches • Open discussions by participants • Open approach to resources and discussions Note the cultural of openness and sharing is dependent on you – you may decide to ‘batten down the hatches until the storm is over’. Note, however, the prisoner’s dilemma: “fundamental problem in game theory that demonstrates why two people might not cooperate even if it is in both their best interests to do so”

  10. Outputs • Outputs from activity: • Access to resources • Access to discussions • Synthesis report based on future events Note if you contribute in an open fashion you (a) are likely to obtain feedback which may enhance your ideas and (b) receive acknowledgements regarding your innovative approaches. But also give clear signal if you wish to talk off the record.
