Approximately 45 people attended the recent Network Partners Planning day on the 16th November 2021. This was the first opportunity for the Network Partners to come together and provide input into the Node activity planning. While we held the first meeting in a face to face environment, future meetings will have an online option so that more of our partners can get involved.

We started the day with a presentation from the Interim Director, Daniel Christie. We did some speed meeting and then progressed through a roving ideas storm, where Activity Leaders presented their activity schedule and then participants had 5-10 minutes to silently consider how they fit in or any gaps they could see. This was followed by 5-10 minutes of robust conversation and then 5-10 minutes of bringing it all together.

We are currently collating all of the statements from the post it notes and will provide an overview of the findings soon.

It is important to note that this was the first opportunity to get involved. There will be many more in 2022 and we look forward to seeing you at the next planning day.
