An IPW is a means for developing and implementing COAs. Participants should engage in productive discussion and implement any COAs assigned to them. Workshop participants should include:

• Leaders and subject-matter experts from the responsible entities.
• Analysts who developed the observations.
• Staff who will track and evaluate the actions.

There are three goals that participants should accomplish during an IPW:

• Agree on a list of COAs to take.
• Identify the entities responsible for implementing the COAs.
• Develop timelines for completing the COAs.
