Collaboration: benchlearningTransformation = learningIn order to cooperate we need to combine tools in a Benchlearning strategy: 1. Local digital/innovation agendas (policy tools) 2. Regional living labs (scientific tools)3. Clear ownership pyramid and co-creating partnerships
(governance tools)4. Benchlearning: Applying a reflective “monitoring and
evaluation” methodology to monitor, validate and learn (feedback tools)
What todo interregionally?• Developing instrumentation on trans-sectoral
“entrepreneurial discovery processes”• Indicators on “resilience” and transactional capacities• Methods for inter-regional validation
