Although it is assumed that there is only a limited amount of scope for opportunity risk identification during the operational phase, the public and private partners could maintain an innovation register. This register could be updated biannually with appropriate 'value add' ideas being presented to public partner decision-makers for further consideration. The implementation of innovative ideas could be linked to incentive schemes to encourage better performance / improved VfM outcomes. For public partner employees, this could translate to improved career development opportunities, paid study assistance, flexible working arrangements, the opportunity to perform higher duties or promotion into more senior roles, depending on the extent of their involvement in the idea generation / implementation processes.
