• Presentation of survey findings
Present the outputs in a format that can easily be digested.

• Collation, analysis and presentation of interview findings
Collate/analyse the outputs from interviews, then present preliminary data and interim findings in a format that can be translated into information/papers for the associated Advisory Board in December 2016. Produce a high level, public facing report that includes case studies and infographics, where appropriate.

2. Produce an independent report for NERC to take to the associated Advisory Board to discuss evaluation results and make recommendations for commissioning DTPs in the future

• Final data collation, analysis and report-writing
Once all of the DTP evaluation interviews have taken place, analyse the evaluation data as a whole, to provide feedback reports to individual DTPs and to document detailed overarching messages highlighted by the evaluation. Present suggested recommendations based on analysis, providing the evaluation and subsequent future design of the DTP commissioning process with important independence.
