Lessons Learned Keys To Success

Believe in the Value-Added Nature of the Project Work at Building Team Trust and Confidence
Find others who agree (some of them may even have funding!) Find common ground and build on it Be Open, Honest and Supportive Value the expertise and experience of all participants Build support early through coordination with others Endure the slings and arrows of outrageous review MLR Associates meetings 9/22/00 8
