Before we start: You learn & work together?

A. B. C. To get be*er plans. Meanwhile I enjoy and learn For broad support and to save =me and money later We can s=ll improve, especially towards the next phase and between dierent levels

Today I will tell you

Eec=ve Project Delivery and O&M requires: an integrated and collabora=ve approach. Mul=-level and trans-disciplinary. How? Ideas on how to organize Social Learning Example Room for the River: Central framework, but Decentral delivery with design space. Example Mul=-Level-Safety Dordrecht: Learning & Ac=on Alliance for new policies and measures.

Why Social Learning? Integrate and collaborate

Need to integrate FRM, spa=al planning and emergency planning makes governance more complex.

Why social learning? Absorb context & stakeholder management

Time-delay and cost overrun 20% - 45% (Flyvbjerg, 2007). Mostly due to due to context factors and poor stakeholder management (EU Netclipse).

Example 1: Room for the River

Output of Social learning

Flood Safety and Spa=al Quality delivered within =me and budget, whilst Sa=sfac=on is highest on Public Par=cipa=on and Support (Van Herk, subm.)

Example: Super levee (1)

Why here a super levee? Reduced flood risk of 39%

Example: Super levee (2)
