Day Two Agenda
Masterclass times: 9am-5pm

The steps in doing implementation are outlined.

• Understanding the policy market place
• Key steps
• Processes
• Core checklists and questions

Understanding just what the problem is must be considered before developing an implementation action plan

• Problem definition
• Scoping
• Connecting problems, proposed actions to implementation issues

Defining the policy product or deliverable is important in delivery issues.

• Ensuring product identification
• Limiting product size
• Is the product deliverable
• Behaviour to be changed?
• Choosing the policy tool

Identifying the nature of the policy environment can assist in identifying opportunities and opponents.

• Nature of policy environment
• Interest groups
• Supporters
• Institutional processes
• Key values - impacts of style/processes of implementation

One of the causes of implementation failure is 'leakage' and poor targeting.

• Identifying the target
• Nature of groups targeted
• Access, values and power

Assessing how implementation is progressing as well as its impact on the policy problem must be incorporated into the implementation process:

• Indicators of progress
• Warning and responding
• Measuring cause and effect
• Evaluating marketing strategies
• Was the policy right, but the implementation poor...?

Checklists are used at each phase of the process to assist participants to identify key tasks, identify core skills and check progress.
