Evaluation:
Rich discussions during offline conversations-
Overall good. Tiny stack. Got a bit bogged down in questionnaire issue
Good
Bad lighting, handles issues well
Thanks
Good
Something from theses discussions should be documented, an essence but
not specific comments or names
Picking out issues that we need to address in retreat
Frustrated about when some people make comments that are out of left
field, that most people don’t agree with.. how to deal with that
Let converstation go on a bit so we can really figure out how to move
forward.
