19. Symphonicals MMI experience
Pro
Good theoretical concept, easy to understand
Good consultants
Lots of value for money (free)
Con
No idea nor benchmark data base
Too little hands on
Too seldom interaction between sessions
No follow up on decided concrete actions
No actual consultancy on what works and not
20. Proposed MMI improvements
Be more hands on during the workshops
Define and follow up action points
Follow up in meetings (define who is responsible for
what when) without having to travel physically
Build relevant benchmark re what is being done and
what works
Choose a modern collaborative platform to make it
fun to get things done! ;-)
