Approach and implementation

The project plan was drawn up on the basis of designing an ´own´ agenda. Early in the process a dialog with Jernkontoret was initiated to sort out the relationships between the two agenda projects. It was then decided that Hjärnkraft would be part of the agenda for metallic materials. Hjärnkraft has worked as a ´subcontractor´ and focused on the parts of the agenda which are closest to Triple Steelix´s business and to work in various ways to flesh out the agenda by creating project outlines.
