Insight
Obtaining sufficient insight on the system performance is often prerequisite to improvement. However, due to the complexity of the ecosystem is it truly cumbersome to gain sufficiently in-depth understanding of the system characteristics and performance. As much as it is invaluable to know the key stakeholders it is also crucial to understand their interrelations and connections to the global advances.
Ecosystem analysis, mapping, performance monitoring and ex-ante and ex-post evaluation vis-a-vis global developments provide comparative and longitudinal information for improved understanding on the performance of the ecosystem. This can be achieved with quantitative analyses based on documentation and statistical information combined with more qualitative analyses of stakeholder perceptions, for instance.
Foresight
With foresight we refer to future-oriented intelligence and vision-building processes aimed at enabling joint actions. The global economy, new technologies and increasing impact of human activities in nature have brought us with a new magnitude of volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA). Foresight helps you navigate in such an environment. With foresight you create improved understanding of the innovation system, develop your networks and new partnerships; upgrade your innovation activities.
Tailored foresight processes can be designed to meet specific needs building on our attested foresight tools and methodologies from broad horizon scanning to targeted intelligence analysis, from exploratory technology maps, technology scouting, online platforms and scenario workshops to normative roadmapping and multi-criteria/portfolio tools in support of decision-making.
