COHERENCE OF LAP• WHY check?

• WHEN check?

• HOW to check…


COHERENCE OF LAP

Actions

Problems – Needs - Opportunities

3.Results

Check: Result corresponds to problem?

Check: Action supports achievement of result?

Check: Result contributes to solve problem/address stakeholder needs?

COHERENCE OF LAP1. Example where coherence was improved after checkingIntended results: Expansion of space capacity for mayor functions• Housing by 10.000 m²• Hotels by 5.000 m²• Social infrastructure by 3.000 m²

Conflict: Through checking it was realized that only 15.000 m² are available.

Solution: Definition of a process to coordinate which function at which location is to be realized best and monitoring that the intended results per function are not exceeded.


COHERENCE OF LAPExercise: 30 minutes

In ULSG groups (staying in this lab room) check yourAction Table and portfolio using the 2 tools.

Deliverable: adjust plan if necessary
