  14. WHY CHANGE? DRIVERS TO CHANGE • Is your public service or agency able to come up with answers to problems that have no past and with solutions to problems that cannot be tackled by remedies of the past • If no, it is doomed to loose the essence of its existence and hence to fade away in redundancy for which nobody is prepared to pay • If yes, prepare for change

  25. TRIGGERS FOR CHANGE IN THE MOBILITY COVENANT CASE IN FLANDERS • New regulation and procedures: the mobility covenant • Ensured resources for demonstrative projects • Continued committed leadership and strong coalition of partners • Taskforce to steer and evaluate progress • Consolidation and institutionalisation of system • Affected new programs
