[...] The lack of political commitment will constitute a challenge for AHA in the future. The central governments should support the efforts that endeavour to address the ageing issues.
the political commitment is related to the awareness among the community. The spontaneous pilots aren't enough to raise a pervasive knowledge that can activate the policy makers. The field of AHA requires fully integrated care, supported by digital technologies, and it is too complex to be faced by easy solutions.

Better integration is needed for sure and isolated pilot actions will need to be mainstreamed. Also more action which will prevent older people from becoming dependent through keeping them engaged as citizens and economic actors. This is about perception and image too

Most also stress the role of the private sectior; individual businesses as well as business organisations in relation to the silver economy - providing goods and services, market testing, social innovation allowing wider benefits to be captured

No. It's not a question about political commitment. Again, care teams take care of seniors. Politicians make policies based on their understanding of how that is done. But, of course, central government support helps. However, if they simply spray money all over, it's not going to help. It's like the flower. Its roots needs the water.

Angelo makes a point earlier about middle management and organisational change. Effecting change in large, complex organisations with highly autonomous individuals (e.g. clinicians) is difficult. Top down change is effected by changing KPIs and understanding how to avoid perverse incentivisation - developing such patters of KPIs that help promote change through reward while avoiding unintended consequences would be a useful enabler. Enabling bottom up change is more concerned with training on how to identify innovation opportunities and being aware of new practice and how to transition.

Should there be work on making practices more searchable and relevant to people involved in service delivery?

Agree, but it is also important to get ownership from leadership on all levels, maybe a condenced newsletter sent out a couple of times a year and a toolkit to aid participants in informingtheir leaders could assist the process.
