Network strategies
The flexibility of NOPs means they can inform a range of potential network strategies, such as:
- network monitoring and information repository
- network fit / alignment assessment and program development
- operational management and decisions.
The selection of a network strategy should be NOP specific and reflective of the purpose, need and outcomes / outputs wanted from the NOP, as discussed in the following:
- Outputs and outcomes
- Purpose and outcomes
- Figure Area vs corridor study area selection guidance to help determine what network strategy might be the most appropriate.
Case studies
As demonstrated through the Case Studies in C. Case Studies & Other References, NOP application varies between jurisdictions. This is influenced by the implementation stage they have reached in their application of NOP activities across the jurisdiction, and the network strategy they are implementing.
An indication of what network strategy is being applied with each of the case studies is provided below.
