Abstract:

This paper identifies the need to move beyond the small improvements made in policy design and evaluation, promoting instead the adoption of an adaptive, proactive and multi-disciplinary policy operating model. Adaptive policy management provides a framework for optimising policy settings – and interventions – over the entire life of a policy to maximise intended outcomes and actively manage unintended impacts in a collaborative approach that includes continuous innovation, stakeholder and expert engagement, and public participation and test-driven improvements informed by monitoring and feedback loops.
