Foresight: A link between policy intents and management reforms

Benoît Bernard, Anne Drumaux and Jan Mattijs

No 11-022, Working Papers CEB from ULB -- Universite Libre de Bruxelles

Abstract: Both policy implementation and administrative reforms have increasingly come to rely on "instrumental" management methods that fail to treat adequately cognitive biases, bureaucratic ritualism, co-ordination issues and political sensitivities. This paper explores the potential of exploratory, participative foresight as an alternative to instrumental methods, based on a research carried out in the Belgian penal justice system. The results illustrate possible contributions to policy coordination, organizational learning, strategic exploration and leadership.
