Challenges in Executing a Mission Integration Plan

In this segment, Rich Wilhelm discusses the challenges in the execution of a mission integration plan.

Wilhelm’s insights include:

• The need for agencies to clearly understand their roles in dealing with a problem.
• The need for top-down coordination to ensure that agencies work within their roles.
• Government agencies have typically not worked well together and NGOs are very competitive with each other, making an integrated mission more challenging.

As an example, Wilhelm cites how the military took on an expanded role in Iraq following the second Gulf War and reduced the role of other agencies.
