It takes a significant amount of our time, but we felt from the beginning that unless we entirely understood the interests of our stakeholders, we were not going to be very effective at the table. We have to understand at a fine level of detail what they are looking for, what they think can help them in the negotiations, and then bring that to the table. That only works effectively if we can keep them up to speed with what's happening at the negotiating table and go back to them to check whether we're still on the right track, whether they still see the right progress being made.
After every negotiating round, we do debriefs with all our consultation groups to inform them of what happened during the round. We talk to them about what we expect coming up in the following round and get their advice and input on their reaction to how things are going and whether they're satisfied with that progress. If they have comments to add or suggestions to make, we take those on board and refine our negotiating strategy from there.
