Trying to figure out how to implement DT for multiple subsystems in one workshop seems unlikely to succeed, simply because of lack of time. I also don't think there is much overlap between subsystems in this respect, so while the DT implementation for one subsystem is discussed, the representatives of other subsystems are twiddling their thumbs. It might be more productive to have one or two DT experts around who rotate over the various workshops that have to deal with the DT and can offer advice.
