genomförbara

Genomförbara is a Swedish adjective used to describe plans, proposals, or actions that can realistically be carried out given current conditions and resources. It denotes feasibility and implementability, indicating that something can be executed within practical constraints such as time, budget, technology, regulation, and organizational capacity.

Etymology and grammar: the term is derived from the verb genomföra (to carry out) with the suffix -bar, which forms an adjective meaning capable of being done. The related noun genomförbarhet refers to the property of being feasible or implementable. The form genomförbart is used for neuter singular, genomförbar for common gender singular, and genomförbara for plural.

Usage: genomförbara is widely used in planning, policy analysis, project management, and strategy discussions. It is typically placed before the noun it modifies, as in genomförbara mål (feasible goals) or genomförbara lösningar (feasible solutions). In singular neuter contexts, one often encounters ett genomförbart projekt (a feasible project). The term helps distinguish what is realistically achievable from what is aspirational.

Relation to other concepts: genomförbarhet is the broader concept of feasibility, encompassing technical, economic, social, and regulatory dimensions. While related to realism, genomförbarhet emphasizes practical possibility and execution potential rather than desirability alone. It is often used alongside criteria like risk, cost, and time to assess overall viability.

Examples: a plan may be evaluated for its genomförbarhet, with adjustments to scope or resources to ensure it becomes genomförbart. See also genomförbarhet for the noun form and related terms such as realistisk or möjlig.
