Bottleneck Group: Engagement and Participation Hurdles
Bottleneck Group: Engagement and Participation Hurdles
BOTTL_03 - Poor involvement of experts

REC_03.2.03 - Provide clear information on terms of participation in standardisation activities as well as other related contacts
REC_03.2.04 - Rethink the liaison procedure to establish better relations to research projects, as these activities often need to be completed within the project timeframe
REC_03.2.05 - Promote a sufficient number and diversity of experts within a working group
BOTTL_04 - Lack of time
REC_04.1.01 - Reduce the general complexity of the stages without compromising important aspects
REC_04.1.02 - Use the time between receiving comments and meetings to collaboratively address comments with stakeholders using digital tools (the actual meeting can be used to discuss the "big" issues)
REC_04.1.03 - Simplify the commenting process that often depends on the standard development process of the organisation
REC_04.1.04 - Reduce the number of development stages to streamline the process
REC_04.1.05 - Shorten balloting time, especially for international standards
REC_04.1.06 - Simplify the voting process on documents to save time and reduce complexity

REC_04.1.12 - Advocate for the allocation of adequate resources and funding to support efficient standardisation processes
BOTTL_08 - Limited engagement of research projects
REC_08.1.01 - Contact research projects (especially European) and to encourage them to contribute to standardisation, fostering collaboration and participation
REC_08.1.02 - Create mentorship programs where experienced members of SDOs/SSOs guide research projects through the standardisation process, as such hands-on support can help bridge the gap in understanding and participation
REC_08.1.03 - Develop and provide comprehensive resources and toolkits specifically designed for research projects to navigate the standardisation process efficiently
BOTTL_10 - Low motivation and interest
REC_10.1.01 - Organize workshops, seminars, and webinars focused on the benefits and processes of implementing standards
REC_10.1.02 - Develop comprehensive toolkits and guidelines that simplify the implementation process
REC_10.1.03 - Offer free or subsidized training programs to build the necessary expertise within companies
BOTTL_13 - Internal resistance and lack of support
REC_13.1.01 - Conduct campaigns, training sessions, and networking events to communicate the added and strategic value of standardisation. Include best practices in campaign materials to demonstrate the benefits of participating in standardisation efforts.
