Rekomandohen

Rekomandohen is a term used in governance and organizational studies to describe the formal process by which an advisory body compiles evidence, analyzes options, and communicates recommendations to decision-makers and stakeholders. The concept covers scoping the issue, gathering data, evaluating impacts, drafting recommended actions, consulting with affected parties, and publishing an advisory report. The aim is to inform policy, strategy, or program design while promoting transparency and accountability.

The term appears to be a neologism constructed from the root rekomando, meaning recommendation in several languages, with the suffix -hen to denote a process or phenomenon. In academic literature, rekomandohen is treated as a procedural concept rather than a specific body, applicable to parliamentary committees, independent commissions, regulatory agencies, and corporate governance forums.

Outputs of rekomandohen typically take the form of policy briefs, white papers, or formal advisory opinions. They may accompany implementable actions such as guidelines, proposed legislation, or reform plans, and are usually accompanied by an explanation of evidence, assumptions, and uncertainty.

Interest and policy relevance vary. Proponents argue that rekomandohen improves legitimacy, aligns decisions with evidence, and clarifies trade-offs. Critics highlight potential biases in evidence selection, delays in decision-making, and difficulties in enforcing non-binding recommendations.
