Need ownership and understanding through constant communication and presentations to Member Councils
Endorsement of CLGR and individual Member Councils
Lessons Learned 15 individual Councils will work in their own best interests
Need to recognise budget and political constraints
Need to demonstrate efficiencies, cost savings and environmental benefits
Need a shared services model that can work
Who has the risk?
Build on the goodwill amongst the Region Member Councils
Momentum and resources to implement the strategy
Everybody has their day job
