Abstract
This chapter brings the analysis to an operative conclusion by pointing out the different strategies that the policy entrepreneur can use in order to make a non-incremental policy change possible. In particular it will show how it is possible to modify the distribution of the resources, the patterns of interaction, the content of the decision and the characteristics of the decisional network. The final remarks will concern on the one hand the importance of institutionalisation and on the other of the timing of the decision. A protocol for assessing the feasibility of policy innovation will conclude the work.
