Agile and adaptive management approaches are increasingly under development, including monitoring, experimentation, and a capacity to evaluate and modify management actions.
The Canadian Province of Quebec's Ministry of Transport has modified management practices on highway corridors.
Mountainous grassland landscapes increasingly experience modified management and land use, which are often triggered by socio-economic and climate change.
Intentions to modify management behaviour were recorded using the formal written action plans developed during the extension programme.
According to Le Boteuf (1994: 24), "The good manager is not the one who exhibits the same behaviour in all circumstances, but the one who knows how to modify management strategy according to the situations encountered".
An early warning might have modified management strategies that are key concerns for public health.
More specifically, JMG discussed potential strategies to decrease or modify management (e.g. drill transition or drink breaks) and instruction time to reduce inactive time.
Adaptive management applies an iterative process in which initial predictions are used to make a management plan, and outcome monitoring is relied on both to adjust the outcome predictions and to modify management strategies (Murray and Marmorek 2003; Steinemann 2000).
Knowledge of when these changes begin will impact our understanding of diabetes and the brain, identify the mechanisms of neuronal injury, and modify management of diabetes to minimize the chances of injury.
Research regarding adaptation decision-making indicates that decisions to adopt and modify measures and practices are rarely made relative to one risk alone, rather in light of a mix of conditions and risks; and decisions to adopt or modify management or practices are usually not made in a 'once-off' manner, but in a dynamic, on-going 'trial-and-error' process (Smit and Skinner 2002).
We also found that history of steroid therapy, chronic colitis refractory to conventional immune-modifying management, and endoscopic finding of distal attenuation of the colitis are helpful clues.
