Interactive implementation

Background

In the Netherlands, many integrated plans fail during the implementation stage. Causes among others are: the basis for a plan seems to be smaller when plans enter a definite stage and become more tangible. Or, at second thought subsidies and rules appear unable to be united. Little is known on risk perception in relation to water management, as a result initiators can be confronted with unpleasant surprises in the process. Interactive implementation, in which the implementation starts, for example, already during the planning stage, can be a solution.

Objectives

To test the principles of Interactive Implementation, in which the project stages of policy towards management are a parallel process instead of a serial process. It is thought that this method provides improvements with respect to uncertainties, exploiting knowledge from practice and to deal with overregulation.
