“The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.”
More often than not, implementation truly is the main obstacle to putting in place meticulously well thought-out policies for the common good. That is probably because “doing” Is a lot harder than “dreaming” and “discussing”: it requires effort by many participants, it requires anticipation of problematic areas and some preparation for unintended consequences. It is a true test of Leadership ability.

Developing an integrated multi-domain approach requires diverse skillsets; and because most do not have all the required abilities, the formula for success requires collaboration.
