“People under pressure tend to revert to behaviours they are familiar with, rather than being open to experimentation or innovation.”
– @[email protected] from EU #Policy Lab at #PolyFutures on behavioural resistance in #policymaking
On the acceleration of #policy timelines:
“Compared to previous legislative terms, the time elapsed from draft to adoption has almost halved.”

How does time feel in your #policymaking work?
Under time pressure, what do you end up sacrificing first?
‘Long-term thinking’, ‘Consultation and participation’, ‘Evidence and analysis’ or ‘Nothing, we adapt’
— questions for the audience in a panel discussion on ‘Can policy keep up with time?’
We’re starting!
PolyFutures kicks off. 3 days on #foresight, behavioural insights, futures thinking and #policymaking in Brussels.
Some familiar faces and many new people to meet and have an exchange with.
Today and tomorrow, focus on trusting, sensing, experiencing, and daring.
En route to Brussels, for ‘PolyFutures’ to discuss “reimagining #policymaking for Europe”.
As usual, I’m having a 7-hour train journey via Cologne.
I’m very much looking forward to all the exchanges in the coming 3 days. I am hoping for some optimism!
