  1. The 4th International Seville Conference onFuture-Oriented Technology Analysis (FTA)12 & 13 May 2011 CONSTRUCTING SYSTEMIC TRANSFORMATION CAPACITIES IN A RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY ORGANISATION: APPLYING DIVERSIFIED ROADMAP CONCEPT AT VTT, FINLAND Ahlqvist, Toni, Halonen, Minna, Eerola, Annele, Kivisaari, Sirkku, Kohl, Johanna, Koivisto, Raija & Myllyoja, Jouko VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland

  2. CONSTRUCTING SYSTEMIC TRANSFORMATION CAPACITIES ... Introduction Rationale for building systemic capacities • Organisational and geographical scales of innovation systems are more interlinked • Systemic transformations flow through this faster than before • Flows have complex effects, harder to anticipate • Research and technology organisations (RTOs) should develop two systemic capacities • 1) partial structural openness and fluidity endorsing rapid alterations in the organisational structures; • 2) horizontal and pervasive anticipatory culture that builds up an internal future-oriented agency, i.e. proactive and bottom-up participatory approach which leads to action

  3. CONSTRUCTING SYSTEMIC TRANSFORMATION CAPACITIES ... Interplay of past, present and future knowledge in an organisation

  4. CONSTRUCTING SYSTEMIC TRANSFORMATION CAPACITIES ... Continuous foresight through expert communities and checkpoints VTT’s parallel innovation process model: towards a future-oriented model Changes in the business environment Customers’ innovation processes Development of business models Applications research Foresighting Technology research and development VTT’s research and innovation programme Adapted from Koppinen, Lammasniemi & Kalliokoski 2010

  5. CONSTRUCTING SYSTEMIC TRANSFORMATION CAPACITIES ... 4. Visionary strategizing: aligning societal drivers, markets, solutions and technologies in a timeframe 3. Demand articulation: description of common understanding about future societal and market needs 5. Identifying single strategic elements in roadmap structure 2. Identifying societal needs that should guide the technological development 1. Creation of a common vision 6. Identifying logical temporal sequences in selected topic, e.g. technologies Using roadmaps in strategy processes

  6. CONSTRUCTING SYSTEMIC TRANSFORMATION CAPACITIES ... Roadmapping and systemic transformation capacity Key concepts • Future-oriented agency can be defined as a strategic capacity of an organisation or a community to construct feasible targets towards the future through shared dialogue, and also to implement actions on this basis. We suggest that future-oriented agency is in key role when constructing systemic transformation capacities in any context. • Roadmap knowledge space here refers to a niche in an organisation or in a community in which a future-oriented agency can be mobilised. Knowledge spaces therefore depict key spheres in which the systemic transformation capacity is realised. • Roadmap scope refers to the level to which roadmap is targeted. Scope refers to a more traditional insight of roadmapping methodology that separates e.g. technology roadmaps and market roadmaps. Our model separates roadmaps with R&D scope and roadmaps with systemic scope.

  7. CONSTRUCTING SYSTEMIC TRANSFORMATION CAPACITIES ... Diversified roadmap concept I: knowledge spaces

  8. CONSTRUCTING SYSTEMIC TRANSFORMATION CAPACITIES ... Diversified roadmap concept II: roadmap scopes

  9. CONSTRUCTING SYSTEMIC TRANSFORMATION CAPACITIES ... Case example I: Building Services Roadmap

  10. CONSTRUCTING SYSTEMIC TRANSFORMATION CAPACITIES ... Case example II: SSB network roadmap

  11. CONSTRUCTING SYSTEMIC TRANSFORMATION CAPACITIES ... Conclusions • Paper argued that RTOs should develop should develop two systemic capacities: structural openness and fluidity & horizontal and pervasive anticipatory culture • Organisation: a continuum of past, present and future knowledge • Towards a future-oriented parallel innovation model at VTT • Contribution of roadmapping to the building of systemic capacities • Knowledge spaces in an RTO • Technology space; Social / actor space; Strategic space; Visionary space • Roadmap scopes • Singular • Single technology -> action steps • Single organisation -> practical conclusions • Systemic • Business perspective -> business decisions • Policy perspective -> policy conclusions • Examples: Building Service roadmap and SSB network roadmap
