At Clappform, together with our partners, we are continuously working to improve data-driven collaboration. Last week, Elisa Bontrop and Tom Griffioen, together with the stakeholders involved, organised an interactive workshop on the Public Private Monitor (PPM) at the provincial government building of the Province of North Holland in Haarlem.

The PPM is currently being further developed as a module within Clappform's new planning capacity monitor. This session was explicitly not a demo or training, but a substantive reality check: does what we are developing really work in practice? With participants from, among others, acceleration tables and municipalities, we jointly assessed:

• Is the configuration of the PPM logical and easy to explain?

• Does the PPM actually help accelerate housing construction?

• Does the monitor remain practical and workable, without unnecessary administrative burden?

• Which bottleneck fields add real value to the discussion?

• What can be simplified and what needs to change to safeguard trust?

What made this session valuable was the open dialogue. The PPM should not become an additional reporting instrument, but rather a tool that supports the conversation, strengthens collaboration and helps identify bottlenecks at an early stage.

We will incorporate the insights from this session directly into the further development. In particular, the practical experience of acceleration tables and municipalities is essential to creating a monitor that is workable, reliable and genuinely supportive of accelerating housing construction.
