Supporting the Adaptation - Templates

Chapter

Abstract

Adapting the methodology for your business requires gathering data from your company and, particularly, from the specific area where you want to set up the network. These templates include guidelines for identifying the goals or tasks, and rules for the adapted network. They serve to clarify motivational aspects, success factors and barriers. The suggested order of the guidelines is aimed at fast and precise data gathering to enable the construction of the network.
