30. The Big Picture (2) In 2015 wide consultation/planning needed for 5 targets: (1.3ii) Review Reduction Time; (2.1) User Experience; (2.5) Simplified/Standardized Language; (3.3) Global Policy/Advocacy framework & positioning; (4.1) Membership scheme 2015 Finalisation/Implementation Roll-Out: (Goal 1) Prioritization; MECIR subset; CAST implementation; Non-Standard Methods strategy; (Goal 2) Dissemination plans in Reviews; Translation; (Goal 3) Cochrane branding; (Goal 4) Training & Development; Cochrane Steering Group reform 30
