For each case, we provide overview groups involved lessons derived identifying actual potential different phases activity using ways them. We demonstrate that not only can be diverse, but it may take angles depending on characteristics project timescales, nevertheless adding significant value any argue a better involvement contribute more effective communication, successful implementation, greater impact
