Thanks Richard - my impression from diverse conversations over the years
is that many would agree with these challenges. 

I have used force-field analysis for many years, and it certainly has a
role to play. However, that role comes later - we need an idea where we
want to get to, before we tackle the difficulties that may make it hard
to get there [e.g. if 'getting SD into schools' is not on our objectives
- hypothetically - then overcoming resistance from education policy
makers is not a resistance we need to tackle]. 

I also anticipate that SD itself will show how to break through many
such obstacles [one of the reasons I so like the approach] - e.g. if
'lack of awareness amongst management' is a blocker, we will already
have worked out how to crack it with parts of the strategy dealing with
'building management awareness'. 

So I will keep these blockers in mind - and any others anyone wants to
raise - and we can check back to ensure we have dealt with them. 

regards - Kim
