Workshop uses participant workbooks to surface priorities and next steps

Facilitator Sir Charles Parker directed participants to the participant workbooks and described the initial exercise: "In your workbooks, pages 5 through 7, that's where we'll start with celebrate," he said, explaining participants should identify two developments that advanced Whitehouse economic development and at least one enabling condition.

Tables were given approximately five minutes to complete the exercise and then asked to pick no more than three substantial developments and one or two enabling conditions to record for the larger-group synthesis. Parker said the outputs would be captured on boards around the room and later refined into a draft for the board to consider. The workshop emphasized preserving off-topic ideas in a parking lot for future consideration.
