“ASKS” OF INDUSTRY

• Advice & Participation

– re Costing our Ambition – re Capability Roadmap – re shaping our industry engagement (ie; best-practices; encouragement!)

• Engagement with DNR Staff

– No brochures please; we need details – Think as we do: in capability terms, not in terms of products – Consider our limitations and constraints – If you have put pen-to-paper and can share – most beneficial; especially if we can share it – Regret we can’t get you a written reply

• Commonality

– Mutually beneficial? How? – How achieve?
