Thank you Lisa for your comments. I agree - my experience of working in Industry is that we adopt a "tick the box" attitude. We need to get people to change their behaviour, so we roll out some initiative, then in my view tick the box and move on. I am constantly asking what we are going to p

Hi Stefano, In my experience in trying to introduce OS on the "inside" is that initial numbers tend to decline during the day. I think the reason is around the invite not really being an invite. Dates for meetings are generally put in peoples calendars and that sets an expectation that you
