Session 1: Clients - From Nuisance to Resource

We focus on dialogue with the clients. We present inspiring ways to include the clients in road planning, implementation and development.

We use different points of view, starting with the voices of the clients themselves, continuing to practical experience of e.g. operations and maintenance and to recommendations on how the dialogue can be organized in different stages of road administration. We use an electronic voting system during the ses-sion.

1. A short introduction. Rita Piirainen, Finland

2. A film shows the experiences of citizens and business with road management problems. Representatives for different client groups in the Nordic countries are interviewed. They also show us the paradoxes arising between true user needs and client focused road management.

3. Four good examples are presented:
• Client oriented operations, Finland. Anders Östergård.
• Dialogue in operations management, Sweden. Preliminary: Lennart Andersson.
• Knowledge generation and dialogue do not make for conflict-free planning, Norway. Tore Solberg.
• Give a chance and influence - listening to the neighbours is the way forward in open country, Denmark. Andrew Langkjaer.

4. Success factors for good client relations. Frank Hagerup, Denmark. Based on the Nordic countries' experiences, we present best practice in dialogue with the clients in different road management situations. From this, we draw conclusions and recommendations.

5. Questions to the speakers and voting.

6.
Conclusion, Rita Piirainen.
