The ‘Task Force model’
Multi-agent selected membership
Strategic, co-ordination and/or implementation roles
Temporary, task-limited lifespan
Non-statutory
Employer, sectoral and/or territorial
Flexible, ‘rapid response’

Issues
Reactive over-use and proliferation
Contingent establishment criteria: shock, crisis, slow-burn…?
Fragmented and limited (new) funding
Public sector reliance
Lacking accountability and transparency
Limited evaluation
![Page 18: Institutional and policy approaches to · 2020-02-20 · Institutional and policy approaches to major economic shocks Major Economic Shocks Workshop, What Works Centre for Local Economic](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042323/5f0d10957e708231d4388105/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Highly uneven evidence base
What would have happened without these (under-evaluated) interventions?
National and local political-economic imperatives: no strong evidence = no policy response?
Tension: shorter-term, direct and narrow outcomes versus longer-term, indirect and wider outcomes

Evolving adaptive pathways to economic resilience: enhanced, steady state/neutral or denuded…
Moments of intervention in unfolding economic restructuring processes – slowing down > speeding-up for adaptation
Policy mixes tailored to local contexts
Time-limited or standing institution(s) of adaptation?
Connecting to broader strategy amidst the firefighting
Locus of leadership, co-ordination and accountability
What kind of economic restructuring and for whom?
