Case study strategy/discussion notes
The case strategy/discussion notes presented in this annex were made available to all the participants of the SLA Forum to help facilitate their case study discussions. The notes were intended to give direction to the discussions, however, the discussion groups were given the freedom to choose their own strategies, provided they agreed to abide by the outcomes and schedules offered in the notes to ensure synchronization of discussion among the groups and sharing of learning.
