Implementation of ideas is either a question of timing or of changing your own mind. Ideas done? by Michael E. Parmly, United States Mission to the United Nations in Geneva

Michael E. Parmly, Counselor for Public Affairs, United States Mission to the United Nations in Geneva, answered to the question: “What percentage of ideas are actually carried out in your institution?”.

(Interview made at the United States Mission to the United Nations in Geneva after the roundtable discussion with Dr. Michael Stephens on “Current Developments in Social Media: Trends and Technology”, organized by Wendy Lubetkin, Senior Advisor on Media and Public Affairs.)
