SMS workshop 3 December 2015
The SMS initiative held a second workshop in Wellington, on 3 December 2015, which was attended by about 50 sector representatives, vendors and project team members.
The focus of the workshop was the many problems and supporting issues that need to be addressed to ensure any technology solution is implemented successfully. The SMS team put forward examples of problems or pain points they had heard about, asked attendees to identify the problems they experienced and to prioritise the problems and issues.
A summary of output from the workshop is attached .
