Findings

Findings During 2012-2015 many initiatives were initiated but few actually have managed to change existing practices. Some were not carried out at all. Many tasks started were not completed to a level that they could change existing systems. Many tasks were activity driven, not really achievement (result) oriented Who was responsible for development, validation and formal approval of outcomes of tasks? Who coordinated, monitored and quality assured the results?

Orchestration = ORGANISATION
