  10. CBCWCG Lessons Learned • This is an opportunity. • “We are own barriers.” • The devil – and the work – is in the details. • Projects should be large enough to produce desired results, but narrowly scoped in order to bring project to closure in a timely manner. • Include external partners on team. • Articulate team expectations.
