A similar analysis of existing assessments would also help to identify other gaps in the scientific knowledge pertaining to conservation, and further the use of the plans as a framework for building conservation and development efforts in a large biome.

By incorporating decision makers early in a process, a decision-making guidance product can be developed that is clear in its conservation objective and in how the decision maker should use the product. The South Atlantic LCC spans several state boundaries from Virginia to Florida and developed a mission to create a shared blueprint for landscape conservation actions that sustain natural and cultural resources.

A landscape-based framework to guide decision making requires bringing partners together to develop shared visions, goals, and objectives; identify existing datasets and data gaps; and achieve objectives collectively by sharing resources and overcoming jurisdictional barriers. Key relationships among resources depend on the scale of the landscape, and need to be identified by the partners in the collaboration.

Another challenge to conducting MRA is the silos that exist within and among federal agencies. Horizontal integration must occur by opening those silos and determining which subsets of individual disciplines need to be incorporated into the process, she said.6 An analytical decision science framework and model helps to facilitate this horizontal integration by changing the process from one that is provider-driven (i.e., economist or scientist)

The Center for Creative Leadership developed a model called Boundary Spanning Leadership, which guides expert groups on how to span boundaries (Figure 3-3) .7 First, it is necessary to bring the right subject matter experts to 7 www.ccl.org/Leadership/landing/spanboundaries.aspx.

Dr. Taylor concluded that the Powder River Basin MRA was an important learning experience, and that there needs to be more training for senior management to understand how to break down boundaries to more efficiently integrate concepts and reach the fifth step of the process -- transforming into a new, fully integrated group.
