Steps Toward a “Best Practices” Protocol - Induced Seismicity Potential in Energy Technologies - page 142

in an energy development project has different goals and expectations. Mutual
understanding of other groups' goals and expectations is fundamental to developing
strong and constructive communication. Transparency regarding these goals and
expectations is important to their management.
