As someone who's not on the inside, it's hard to give a specific example of that, but I can suggest that GPHIN provides a nice example. You have a group of people who are in charge of GPHIN but don't understand that you have to keep looking for the pandemic, and the fact that you haven't found one yet doesn't mean you can stop looking.
If we look at the mandate letters of recent ministers of health, you'll notice that at some point “pandemic” falls off the mandate letter. I would suggest that “pandemic” should always be part of the Minister of Health's mandate letter.
Continuing to invest, despite the absence of this event that we're seeing, is part of the issue at hand.
