                                                             A lessons, needs and targets. The start of a new year is different
                                                             – it makes us reflect on how far we have come and where we are

                                                             fact that we are also a year older and we should be wiser in the new

                                                             brought in the so called ‘new normal’ everywhere, increasing the

                                                             The 2020 and beyond strategy we set and started implementing
