Anyone else remember the Competitiveness Commission, where hundreds of people gave thousands of hours of time for a very comprehensive investigation on why Bermuda was losing visitors?

Anyone else remember the Monitor Report a few years later. This one headed by a Boston group with a record of successes in places that followed their recommendations. Another exercise in people giving time with a lovely report produced at the end which promptly went into Government’s storage cave with nothing to show for the time and expense.

These were not one day get togethers of a few people sitting around and then having lunch. These were in depth exercises putting people together who normally would not even talk to each other.

All we ever get is talk. Month after month, year after year, decade after decade. Talk.
