In other words, the framework for mitigating conflicting interests should be constructed inside-out, from the core point of an individual's value-oriented personality to an outer layer of enabling environment, through all possible means available to your profession.
The conflict mitigation process, at its absolute broadest, should strike a reasonable balance that helps guard against present and future problems of conflicts of interest while preserving those traits of your profession which are the source of its creative and competitive genius. Sometimes, due to certain professional / personal problems or set-backs, one may not be able to focus fully on one’s profession.
