I wrote a blog post about last month's 'RAM Jam' session where DPC Members shared their experiences of using our Rapid Assessment Model (DPC RAM).
We arranged this as a round the world relay race, gathering tips and advice along the way. The blog post (race report) summarises some of the highlights.
