John Davies attended on first day to support poster for the SSE group and run a Workshop on the work of the SSE Group

Poster

Had a number around 12 visitors to discuss the group and content of the poster. The general feeling was that the Case Studies were good and the lessons learned are applicable to systems as well as services.

Groups of Services
