<p align="center"><span class="style33">The Way Ahead</span></p>
<p align="left">This is the “way-ahead” panel, which is thus also the “wrap-up” panel. At this stage of our work I will tell you that a lot has been said during the workshop, and some of it will no doubt take time to sink in. During the whole of the workshop we have listened, we have thought, and we have understood, and we will try to organize our many considerations about all of that in the coming time. </p>
<p align="center" class="style33"> HANDLING COMPLEXITY</p>
<p> For my own part, I have gathered my thoughts around a few words. The first word I would like to highlight is complexity, the complexity of many matters that we have approached from different angles. Throughout our sessions, we have acknowledged the mounting complexity of security issues. In doing so we have done well, because it is important that we ascertain both the interlinkage and the complexity of all security issues: There is complexity in defining the threats, there is great variety in the mounting new threats, there are many challenges in the comprehensive approach if it is to be truly comprehensive and effective, and in the networks that are needed to enable government and industry to work together. </p>
<p> The answer to complexity, I would say, is one that the human mind usually applies, and that is to try to synthesize, to simplify matters, to prioritize, to go to the essential elements in order to draw conclusions. That, too, has been well done, and should be done in all circumstances. <br>
There are many ways to synthesize. For instance, in the extremely complex Middle-Eastern situation, one avenue of thought is to boil it down to security needs for Israel. Another avenue of thought for the Afghan situation, which we all perceive to be not only complicated but intensely complex, is a population-centric strategy; that is a simplified strategy, but a worthy one. As we proceed from one beautiful conference to another we continue to try to grasp the whole picture and make sense out of it. </p>
<p align="center" class="style33">THE NEED FOR FLEXBILITY</p>
<p> I will end by saying that the main lesson I draw from all of our work here is that, although we acknowledge the complexity and want to understand it, we must be wary to not go back to oversimplifying. The world has become more complex, we know that, and in order to organize our thoughts about it we must always remain open to novel ideas. In that sense what is called for is another word that contains an x—flexibility. I trust that this word is well understood across the board, and I have had no complaints in my own mind as to a lack of openness of thought; quite to the contrary. I believe that flexibility needs to flow into the new Strategic Concept, for instance, and I am encouraged by what I see and hear. Recently I visited ACT in Norfolk and I was very encouraged to see the kind of open thought that is being given to such issues. I am also encouraged as a representative of a partner nation that more thought is being given to how to draw in capabilities, minds, resources, and partners.<br>
</p>
<p align="center" class="style33">CONCLUDING REMARKS</p>
<p> This in a sense will be the way in which I will think ahead about what we have experienced here—which, you can see, is in itself oversimplifying, even though I complain about oversimplification. But now we will get the larger picture through our three distinguished panelists. </p></td>
