Strategy and Experimentation • Shock to the system • Stability and Chaos • „Islands of order“ • Create a very stable core that does 70% of the job • Address challenges for business sector and academics separately • Agencification • Experimentation
Decision Making • Knowledge-based society is a reality • There is too much knowledge out there to ignore it • Get as many brains thinking about your problems • Find a way to crowdsource this knowledge • Open up discussion, involve outside experts, start experimenting, create community and opportunities... • Interaction between the core group and crowd
Investment and R&D • Liase with overall development strategy • S&T is driver and driven • Investment, competition, education, competitiveness and specialisation strategy... • Investment will have more impact in the short term • Returns in Austria were twice as high as in countries of origin (e.g. USA) • Generates the funds for R&D and innovation • Innovation is for all business – R&D for some
R&D • Education, Research and Innovation • Research without echo in the economy is not going to produce positive results • Economy-science interaction is important • linear approach not helpful in this respect • Can only interact if there is an overlap in areas of interest, otherwise research is not translated into innovation • Same applies to supply of skilled persons from the education system and demand from the enterprises • Research might be “door opener” to new areas
Some conclusions • What is the optimal balance between strategic behaviour and a not co-ordinated bottom-up idea generation system? • Create consensus that goes beyond the political day to day business • Investment and R&D • Be ambitious and patient • Accept that the knowledge-based society is a reality – try to insource “brain activity” through opening the process
