Fifteen participants from eight Caribbean states, with resource people from Ghana, the Netherlands and Trinidad and Tobago, covered all the steps of operating a QAS (see Spore 94, section Links). The emphasis was heavily on human contact: understand your clients, network with your peers, market to the target, and know yourself above all, what you know and what you don t know.
