Er mwyn sicrhau canlyniadau llwyddiannus, mae'n hanfodol dilyn dull gweithredu holistaidd wrth ddatblygu cymorth i'r ucheldir. Dyna wnaeth Fforwm yr Ucheldir wrth ddatblygu'r sylfaen o dystiolaeth ar gyfer adroddiad 'Datgloi Potensial yr Ucheldir' a lansiwyd ym mis Rhagfyr 2012. Roedd yr adroddiad yn ystyried yr holl gyfleoedd sydd ar gael - masnachol, cymdeithasol ac amgylcheddol - ac fe gafodd y dull gweithredu hwn ei gymeradwyo gan y Grŵp Cynghori ar y Rhaglen Datblygu Gwledig a oedd yn argymell dull gweithredu integredig i'r ucheldir wrth lunio’r Rhaglen Datblygu Gwledig newydd.
It is essential, in terms of delivering  successful outcomes, that we take a holistic approach when developing support for the uplands. The Upland Forum took this approach when developing the evidence base for its ‘Unlocking the Potential of the Uplands” report launched in December 2012. The report considered the full range of opportunities available - commercial, social, and environmental - and this approach was endorsed by The Rural Development Programme (RDP) Advisory Group which recommended an integrated approach to the uplands in the design of the new RDP.
