The success of the implementation of a New Policy Proposal will be judged in terms of the benefits delivered – . the measurable improvements resulting from outcomes which are perceived as an advantage by stakeholders. From the moment the first elements of change are introduced into the operations of a department or agency and on-the-ground in the public arena, expectations will be met or not met. Implementation planning must therefore consider how the transition into this future state will be managed, and how the realisation of benefits will be managed – not only monitored and evaluated. In other words.
