Hi Nhan
You should have called me to attend your study group today.
I am available for you guys.
Its usually better to use a case study that has already applied the principles, then analyzing the success and the lessons learnt. Yu would have the benefit of the hindsight/history.
Send me your notes and let me check.
Talk to you soon.
Dr John
