Hi, I can echo what Lynda has said, I also found your toolkit valuable and incorporated some of your ideas in putting together a guide here. Of particular value was the way you recognised that many may read this on the screen and the tips for navigation therefore are very useful. I have attached a document which may be of some interest in capturing the essence of EIA...

We haven't had to adapt it very much at all (we found it very useful indeed, very comprehensive) though we're still in the early stages of using it, rolling out our training currently. Am happy to answer any further direct questions you have offline if that helps.

I know that when I shared our EIA Handbook with the list many of you expressed interest in using it to inform your own development of a process. It would be really helpful if you could let me know whether you have used the Portsmouth Model and if so whether you made significant changes to it or found it was possible to use it with only minor amendments. I want to be able to include in the article that the model has proved useful to others (if it has!)
