Policy swings like a pendulum: SD is
about change
Be ahead of the game
SDOs often adapt their
programmes to suit policy
can often leave current
clients frustrated and non
viable
SDOs will develop new
programmes to reflect
policy
Sustainability is a key
principle of most SD projects
Implementation will
change from agency to
agency, sector to sector
Change requires professional
development and enskilling
CURRENT
DIRECTION
Sport for sports
sake
What sport can do
Policy since 1997 has become excessively strategic at the cost of local initiative. What
are the advantages and disadvantages of this?
