Integrative: researchers/stakeholders, interdisciplinary, end-to-end
Participatory, Iterative: responsive to stake- holder concerns
On-going Process: mutual capacity building & sustainable legacy products
Products: link variability, impacts, response options
Equitable: outcomes benefit participants & equitably so
Lessons Learned: Decision Support Tools

• Transferable, scalable tools are possible.
• Focus on knowledge development, not just data & information.
Interactive webtools require major commitment and resources.
Prototypes insufficient!Stakeholders need reliable tools, which require solid software foundation, organized development, sustainability for maintenance and expansion.
Some efforts focus on the resource-intensive cultivation of relationships with stakeholders, developing deep understanding of decision contexts and needs for climate and ancillary products, as well as effective means for supporting access to and use of information.

Stakeholder-driven projects are often limited in their ability to fully implement sophisticated engineered software projects required for successful transition to sustainable operations.

Some efforts focus on the resource-intensive development of technology for managing information, including data storage, discovery, access, analysis, and visualization.
Often limited in their ability to determine specific, yet scalable, user needs sufficient for developing design requirements.
Necessarily focused on speculative information products that have limited interest for decision makers (e.g., from prospective satellite-based instruments, experimental monitoring programs).

Typically, neither type of effort can afford to be all-encompassing.The respective communities have different priorities, processes, and pathways for decision support tool development activities.
The premise of this session is that development of sustainable user-centric decision support tools would benefit from partnerships across these two types of efforts. Goal: identify opportunities for closer collaboration across communities.
