Some common problems with implementing
• people who design the strategies are not responsible for their implementation
• strategies are badly designed, perhaps with the wrong aims or focus
• it is impossible, or difficult, to implement them properly
• they do not take enough account of actual operations,perhaps because there were not broad enough discussions
• they are over-ambitious, or somehow not realistic
• they ignore key factors, or emphasise the wrong features
• people only pay lip-service to supporting the strategies
• enthusiasm for the strategies declines over time
