tiltak

TilTak is a Norwegian noun that denotes a planned action or measure taken to achieve a goal. It is a broad term used in public administration, business, health, environment, and social welfare to describe interventions intended to prevent problems, mitigate risks, or improve conditions. Tiltak can refer to formal policy instruments such as regulations, programs, subsidies, and guidelines, as well as to practical steps implemented by organizations or individuals.

Common types of tiltak include preventive measures (forebyggende tiltak), adaptation or transformation measures (tilpasnings- or omstillingstiltak), economic or fiscal measures (økonomiske tiltak), regulatory or administrative measures (regulatoriske eller administrative tiltak), and educational or outreach measures (informasjons- eller opplæringstiltak). The exact form of a tiltak depends on the context, objectives, and available resources.

In policy and governance, tiltak are designed as part of programs or regulations and are evaluated for effectiveness, cost, and accessibility. Implementation typically involves planning, funding, and monitoring, with adjustments made based on outcomes and feedback. The concept also appears in corporate and civil society settings, where organizations adopt tiltak to improve safety, efficiency, or inclusion.

Usage notes: Tiltak can refer to both formal government interventions and everyday steps taken by individuals or companies. In discussions, it is common to specify the type and scope of the tiltak, for example preventive health tiltak or climate mitigation tiltak. The term functions as a neutral descriptor for actions aimed at addressing a problem or pursuing an objective.
