omdisponering

Omdisponering refers to the reallocating of resources, typically money, within an organization, program, or budget. The term is commonly used in public and private sector budgeting to describe moving funds from one budget item, department, or project to another while maintaining the overall size of the budget. It is a form of internal reallocation designed to respond to changing priorities, needs, or constraints without increasing total spending.

In practice, omdisponering often occurs in municipalities, government agencies, and companies. Examples include transferring funds from road maintenance to social services due to urgent demand, or shifting money from one product line to another in response to market developments. The process usually requires approval from the relevant governance body, such as a budget committee, management board, or council, and must adhere to organizational rules, deadlines, and reporting obligations.

Key considerations in omdisponering include accountability, transparency, and impact assessment. While the approach provides flexibility to adapt to new circumstances, it can affect the programs or services that lose funding and may require justification and monitoring to ensure strategic objectives are still being met. The concept is closely related to terms such as omfordeling, reprioritering, and omprioritering, which all concern different aspects of reallocating or prioritizing resources within a budget or plan.
