2b. Governance Challenges for implementation strategies
Once an Implementation Plan has been developed detailing the core measure package (including supporting measures) and the timeline with sequencing and spatial clustering of measures, a number of institutional, political and financial issues still need to be considered.
The Governance Challenges relating to measure package delivery introduces four different approaches to managing implementation:
1. Developing delivery structures and processes
2. Integrating projects with strategic transport plans and across other relevant policy documents
3. Scanning for and leveraging opportunities to increase resources
4. Micro-managing the delivery of specific measures
This lesson addresses the delivery of structures and processes to ensure coordination between municipal teams, with the mayor’s office and other relevant authority. WIthin this lesson, specific focus will be given to policy-making, budget planning, project management and political support. Learn how to develop delivery structures and processes to ensure coordination between municipal teams (e.g., within the mobility/transport department and with other departments), with the mayor's office and with any other relevant authority (e.g., infra-municipal, such as boroughs, or neighbouring authorities).
This lesson addresses ways to scan for and leverage opportunities to develop new financial resources and partnerships, ensure political support, and gain attention. Scanning for and leveraging opportunities over time to develop new financial resources and partnerships, to ensure political support and to gain attention.
Micro-managing the delivery of the implementation plan requires specific operational tools, continued learning and the ability to learn from past experiences.
This tool consists of a governance autonomy index - a qualitative tool (a questionnaire) that can be transformed into an index.
