Recognising the Continuation of HDiplomats' Role --- Based on personal experience, programme team staff do not recognise the importance of the HDiplomat's role in continuing the negotiations that emerge from the implementation of agreements. Believing that the programme team's understanding of the programmatic side will excel other skills, they exclude the HDiplomats from the conversation. This view damages the implementation process and the existing trust and relationships. HDiplomacy and HDiplomats should become part of organisations' culture.
