Here are some possible questions to get your creative juices flowing:

  • How do you convince your decision-makers to go beyond "regulatory" P2 practice and have something more meaningful?
  • How do you get feedback from the "silent stakeholders"?
  • What makes up your P2 toolkit, and why?
Please submit your questions to info@iap2canada.ca with "OPEN MIC WEBINAR" in the subject line and as the date approaches, we'll announce more information about the key themes.
