“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?
