 Objective

Questioning the current situation for taking optimisation actions:

• Critical review to identify strong/weak areas

• Evaluate opportunities for change in structure and operating model:

    • Focused improvements (short term, small impact)
    • Continuous improvement (long term, small impact)
    • Focused restructuring (short term, large impact)
    • Redesign and re-engineering (long term, large impact)

• Evolving towards an adequate structure and effective operating model aligned with the situational factors (environment, goals, processes, size, culture) and rearrangement of the resources to support the alignment
 Main actions
  • Comparative analysis of the Intermediairies model:
    • Inter-regional comparison of different governance structures and Intermediairies systems
    • Assessment of the region-specific Intermediairies system based on a validated performance indicator set
    • Evaluation of the current system of actors for regional innovation stimulation within the situational context
    • Identification of best practices and opportunities for change
  • Recommendation plan for optimising the governance structure and the Intermediairies system
 Making it happen

 Going beyond former projects:

  • Enlarged scope: raising awareness of policy makers and regional authorities to stimulate successful measures and good practise
  • More in-depth work:
    • Develop impact assessment system
    • Improve the measurement in region
  • More emphasis on action:
    • "to stimulate the further development of regional innovation policies and their adaptation to upcoming needs and opportunities"
  • A challenging dimension:
    • Strengthening the regional authorities as the promoters of the regional innovation process
    • Building on commitment of key regional actors to ensure that an impact assessment culture is implanted in the region and becomes an integrated part of innovation policy
