To chime in here, I agree with Birgitt. The key to success is insuring that there is a commitment to follow up through an officially sanctioned and supported process and infrastructure. And as Michael has said an appropriate communications plan so that everyone who wants to come knows the det

Hi Thomas, I see that you are hoping to use OST and yet not totally sure if it will be your chosen method. I believe that OST is the only method that will be sufficient for what you want to accomplish. It meets all the criteria for when OST works best. The most important factor for me though, is t
