Overview of topics and themes identified in the analysis

Topics identified in interviews	Identified themes (challenges)
Many different organizations and stakeholders need to get involved Unclarity about the distribution of roles and responsibilities between the various stakeholders New temporary (micro)systems are developed to convene the different stakeholders New temporary (micro)systems lead to new discontinuities Overcoming the discontinuities due to new temporary (micro)systems Bridging past and present activities and systems	(Re)establishing spatial and temporal continuity

A shared problem space is there and has unifying power The brokers needs to keep on working on keeping the shared problem space alive	Sustaining a shared problem space
Issues cannot be demarcated or defined, consist of multiple, intertwined problems The issue is continuously changing No hard data is available or it is difficult to obtain There is not one best solution It is difficult to come into action Initiatives of brokers to deal with the changing complexity (step-by-step approaches; facilitating experiential learning; enhancing learning capabilities of organizations and individuals)	Anticipating changing complexity
Stakeholders experience pressure to prevent errors Creating trusting connections and relations Creating a safe environment Facilitating room to experiment	Fostering a brave space
Enabling reflection on progress of project Enabling reflection on quality of interaction among stakeholders	Attending to the process
