2 Outline of presentation Aim of context mapping Process Where we are now Update so far, focusing on: –Similarities –Differences Discussion

3 Aim of context mapping Identify which bits of your context are impacting on O4O enterprises  Pull these together, so we can see what is similar and what is different in each country At the end of the project, see which bits of context need to change so that O4O-type enterprises can survive

4 Process – how are we doing it? 2 parts: –(i) context maps that you have been doing –(ii) phone interviews with you every 6 months of the project, to address specific points and questions Synthesis of Reports and interviews Picking out key issues
