What criteria does the executive organisation have to meet?
Experience shows that the organisation that hosts a transition programme has an influence on it. That can be a handicap. You therefore have to realise when choosing the host organisation for the transition programme that it is very important for the executive organisation for a transition project:
- to be independent
- to be entrepreneurial
- to be able to work on an equal footing with other parties and with niche players
- to have room to experiment and scope to adjust goals and activities
- to be able to work with variety and diversity
- to conduct evaluations in a manner appropriate to the searching and learning character of transition programmes and the uncertainty of the returns
- to have continuity and personal commitment among the programme managers
- to have close links with relevant policymaking and research institutes and innovative practices.
Make sure the right conditions are in place.
