His concepts span from defining the purpose of a business to challenging leadership to manage information more effectively.  2.

11. Conclusion 11 Lesotho All countries have to deal with priorities among governance reforms and check if governance reforms are as important as other kinds of changes. Priorities can be better if there is more understanding about which actions produce more results in terms of efficiency, effectiveness, and responsiveness. The Country’s Executive Office – Head of Government (i.e Prime Minister or President) must take charge of Geospatial Information Management reform process.
