You are really doing your best to hack up, obliterate, and undermine the TS workgroups forum initiative. why do not you just go ahead now and enter five hundred categories using as many different names for topics as possible? That ought to really make things easier to navigate.

Cheers Good Help,

 

Thanks for the categorizing efforts and arrangements for Discussion Help reflected so far, God counting.

Tried to find a category for 'Transition Group Planning' discussions. That's a category for discussions on building involvement and engagement with an about- to- be- formed, a newly formed 'Transition' Group, and 'Transition' Groups replanning. Would put forward the title for such a category as Transition Groups 'WIKI' Planning.

Akin, good idea. I've just added a DISCUSSION CATEGORY named "Transition Group Planning" -- desribed as "...A broad category used to pull together discussions related to GROUP planning, execution, and evaluation..."
