  2. The web of connections • Who are the agencies and stakeholders with shared interests? Place them around the perimeter of a large circle. • Start with your pencil on the role with which you are affiliated. • Draw an arrow to a role that is directly related to your work and influences your outcomes • How does the issue look as you consider the work of that role? Make note of the most important ideas.

  10. Learnings from the web • Interests are interrelated. • Positions are based on interests. • Positions can get in the way of working together. • Positions can get in the way of the shared goal. • We can learn each other’s interests. • Together, we can craft positions to meet interests. • A new kind of interaction is needed. • No one is expert on the issue; everyone is expert on his or her interests and positions. • We need to understand all positions and interests to make progress on issues that involve stakeholders!
