“…This is a significant challenge for design policy as simply data is not available across all EU member states. Paasi (2005) notes that 'very often the selection of indicators is not limited by technical or theoretical understanding, but by the restricted availability of timely, comparable and harmonized data'. The selection of the macro design policy indicators does provide limitations in terms of the availability of data across the EU.…”

“…Such an EU wide benchmark enables comparison of the relative performance of member states against the EU 'standard'. Paasi (2005) used the term 'collective benchmarking' to denote comparisons across a number of countries. Collective benchmarking provides a route to agreed indicators for the measurement and comparison of performances, and identification of successful, best practice policies performed by the best performer.…”

“…Enter resilience and robustness: resilience and revival are aligned in that resilience is enterprise ability to self-renew through innovation and thus change and reinvent itself by adapting its responses to political, social, economic and other shocks or challenges in its competitive domain (Reinmoeller and Van Baardwijk, 2005). In comparison, robustness is more akin to survival and manifests as resistance or immunity to shocks and surprises gained principally through formation and execution of an array of enterprise strategies, policies, partnerships, and practices that maintain or advance enterprise competitive position in the face of such shocks or challenges (Paasi, 2005).…”

Purpose – Enterprise sustainability is the capacity to create and maintain social, economic, and environmental benefits. While sustainability connotes survival, excellence is the capacity to thrive across critical performance domains. Enter resilience and robustness. Resilience is enterprise ability to self-renew through innovation, changing and reinventing itself by adapting its responses to political, social, economic and other competitive shocks or challenges. Robustness is enterprise resistance or immunity gained through strategies, policies, partnerships, and practices that maintain or advance competitive position when shocks or challenges arise. Resistance as herein constructed is a composition or blend of revival, striving, surviving and thriving. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – A sustainable enterprise excellence, resilience and robustness (SEER2) model and assessment regime is proposed. SEER2 integrates excellence and sustainability principles, methodologies, and standards to optimize enterprise performance across the triple bottom line people, planet, and profit domains. Findings – A Springboard to SEER2 model blending simplicity, applicability, and usability by a range of enterprises is introduced. Its enablers include data analytics and intelligence, human ecology, and social-ecological innovation. Springboard technology includes an assessment regime that yields actionable feedback and foresight. These inform next generation strategy, activities and performance that support identification and implementation of best and next best practices and sources of competitive advantage. Practical implications – The Springboard to SEER2 enterprise self-assessment approach restricts itself to sustainability, excellence, resilience and robustness considerations. Originality/value – A model integrating SEER2 in relation to strategic resistance is introduced.

“…Sharing information and generating knowledge jointly with member states and IOs reduce information and search costs, provided that benchmarking is based on a clear methodology. ‘Learning by comparing’, however, requires continuous improvement of the best performers, otherwise the process of learning is confined, obstructing the emergence of new policy solutions (Paasi ).…”

From environmental policy concepts to practicable tools: Knowledge creation and delegation in multilevel systems

The problem‐solving capacity and problem‐generating potential of multilevel systems entail the need for the delegation of authority. When the problem concerned is about how to put an abstract policy concept into a practicable policy tool, the choice of the respective delegation trajectory depends on the policy models or the policy‐relevant knowledge that the respective political levels can supply. When regarding the European Union (EU) level as the starting point of knowledge creation and delegation trajectories, and concentrating on transaction costs, policy knowledge and models generated at the international level provide the most cost‐effective solution. Only when the international level is not able to provide further policy knowledge and innovation does the EU delegate its definitional authority, first downward to the member states and then sideways to EU agencies. We illustrate the plausibility of our dynamic understanding of multilevel governance by using Environmental Policy Integration as an example.
