We invited participants to submit, in advance, a brief case study describing their own challenges. We then advised them in greater depth regarding potential solutions. The participants could also interact in real time to ask additional questions or to clarify their concerns. The hope was that audience members who did not submit their own case study would benefit from the discussion of challenges facing the other organizations and from the broader overview.
