Challenges
As to conclude
As a follow-up to the MTE, SADP has engaged in a heavy and multidimensional exercise of changes
It has started to improve its performance and delivery but there is still a lot to achieve
The real challenge ahead will be to accelerate the current momentum while smoothly starting to phase out
