There is a phrase attributed to Leonardo da Vinci that states that knowing is not enough, you must apply it, and that wanting is not enough, you must do. The article suggests that this idea particularly well describes Portugal's problem.

Over the past decades, Portugal has been the subject of numerous studies on competitiveness, productivity, justice, taxation, and education. These studies identified problems and proposed solutions, but their implementation seems to be the country's main difficulty. The article appears to suggest that Portugal's real challenge lies in moving from diagnosis to execution.
