operativizar

The word operativizar is a non-standard verb often used in Peruvian bureaucratic or professional jargon. It is an incorrect derivation of the adjective operativo, which refers to something that is effective, ready for use, or part of a tactical operation. It is used to describe the act of putting a plan or system into motion. Better alternatives include to make operational, to put into effect, or to implement.

Instead of: operativizar the plan, use: make the plan operational. Instead of: operativizar the restrictive measures, use: implement the restrictive measures.
