Sector Central government and implementing agencies

Policy that works in implementation.

Test with implementing agencies whether policy is workable before it takes effect, and hear what it takes to make it work.

Where it applies 3 moments

Where the dialogue fits in government

Consult on, evaluate and make policy workable, from citizens to the dialogue between central government and implementing agencies.

  1. 01

    Central government and implementing agencies

    Those who make policy rarely have the sharpest view of how it plays out in practice. The professionals at implementing agencies do. Test new policy for workability before it takes effect.

  2. 02

    Evaluate what works

    Evaluate existing policy with the people who implement it every day: what works, where does it get stuck and what is needed to adjust?

  3. 03

    Co-creation that makes policy practical

    Work out together with the people in implementation how new policy should work in practice.

Dialogue calendar 3 moments

One calendar, aligned with the cycle you already have

The report shows per group who you reached, from policy directorate to implementing agency, and holds up as substantiation of the process.

Questions from government

Is your question not listed? Ask it in an introductory call.

Does this also work between layers of government?

Yes. Central government and implementing agencies consult each other anonymously on the workability of policy. That way professionals can say freely what is needed.

Does this replace our formal consultation?

No, it deepens it. You hear the why behind the responses and see which preconditions are widely shared.

Seven moments when you want to hear from your organisation

Every application works with the same live dialogue.

01 / The why behind the score

Deepen your employee survey

The survey results are in, but the why is missing. One dialogue around the key scores delivers a prioritised action list.

02 / Dialogue around the announcement

Change

A reorganisation, merger or measure has to land. Gauge the concerns before you break the news, and again afterwards.

View: change
03 / Honesty on sensitive topics

Psychological safety

An anonymous dialogue about topics people do not discuss out loud. With reporting for the board, HR and the works council.

04 / A plan that is almost final

Test a decision

There is a plan on the table. Test where the support is and which objections you need to take seriously.

05 / Strategy in practice

Strategy

A strategy only works when people understand it and dare to question it. Let teams and layers respond to it.

06 / Broad and demonstrable

Consultation

Hear large groups in one hour and make visible where they differ and which direction gets support.

07 / A fixed listening calendar

Continuous listening

Do not wait for signals to escalate. A fixed dialogue calendar lets leadership hear periodically what is changing.

Ask one question of everyone it concerns

In a demo we show you how your question works as a dialogue: what you ask, who you invite and what you'll have at the end.
