What is a Practitioner Perspective? Learning from other practices. Good and Bad. Implementation the key variable; not policy. Factors that promote effective implementation. Factors that inhibit effective implementation. Focus on means to achieve ends, not just ends. Avoid copying policies from elsewhere without understanding what makes them work. Good strategy and policy is very important but meaningless without implementation. Good implementation occurs even without good strategy and policy occasionally. Focus on the reality of how to get things done. Influence policy to make it more implementation-ready.
