Its foundation from the design science make it practical and result oriented.

Clustering and networking activities are relationship-based activities that support sharing and developing of competences, knowledge and methods. The documents within the toolbox have a clear focus on activities in the area of technology transfer. Networking and clustering activities are critical leverages for all transfer activities presented in this toolbox, namely: opportunities identification, IP management, Human resources and focused value proposition.
www.FITT-for-Innovation.eu
The presented Network Scorecard suite is a method aimed at supporting the strategic and operational management processes of networks. It relies on three principles: It is a participatory approach, where the networks key actors jointly define a shared vision of their networks performance. Moreover, its integrated approach covers the management cycle of the network including the definition of a strategy, a plan of action and a scorecard. And finally, it structures a network performance on four dimensions: the benefits to the members, implication of the members, external context and organization. The practice presents all necessary steps to involve the key actors of the network and structure the process.
www.FITT-for-Innovation.eu
Cluster Managers have expressed their interest in innovative tools that bundle knowledge and is continuously updated. To meet their demands, MFG has implemented an interactive Cluster Manual based on the Wiki principle. The Cluster Manual gives cluster newbies a ‘basic’ guideline and offers cluster managers an in-depth source for every aspect of cluster issues. Additionally, it documents success stories and best practice examples to build up a repository of internal generated knowledge (‘learn from the best’), gives an overview of the most important literature in the area of Cluster Management and combines all this with the knowledge of experts.
www.FITT-for-Innovation.eu
The Balanced Scorecard methodology is used, to give mangers a tool for translating a strategy or a vision into actions and to reach the set targets. The MFG Balanced Scorecard gives cluster managers a tool for managing their cluster initiatives by defining concrete objectives based on their vision and strategy. The Balanced Scorecard methodology helps to clarify and translate vision and strategy, to communicate and link strategic objectives with actions, to plan, set and align strategic initiatives and to enhance strategic feedback and learning.
www.FITT-for-Innovation.eu
Professional tools for cluster or network management are more important than ever as the management plays a decisive role for the success or the failure of a cluster initiative/network. Today there are no general cluster/network management methods available to optimize the management. The presented practices use the Balanced Scorecard method which gives the mangers a tool to professionalize the management and to monitor activities including measuring successes.
www.FITT-for-Innovation.eu
FITT Toolbox: International Technology Transfer NetworksFITT
Many international networks are active in the field of technology transfer and give the opportunity to: be in touch with pairs at the international level, access to training and seminars, exchange of good practices and experiences, find partners or investors, promote an innovation and much more. The choice of the network of which you could be a member can be a challenge. The goal of this practice is to give you a quick overview of the existing organisations, and can be a guide for the choice of such a network.
The presented online cooperation platform was developed to give cluster managers and other cluster stakeholders access to current information and trends. It is set up in form of a Social Network on the topic ‘cluster management’ and offers users/members a central information tool, where knowledge is documented and exchange is fostered. Therefore it is an efficient way to foster exchange between experts, to build up a repository of knowledge including success stories and to present the topic to a broader public.
www.FITT-for-Innovation.eu
The network support services support the networks' sustainability by providing a set of logistics and communication services. Access to these services is conditioned by an agreement between the technology transfer officer and the network and the compliance with a charter. This agreement creates the conditions for a long-term cooperation and a win win situation: the networks gain access to free logistics and communication services, while the transfer officer gains access to strategic information from the field, the opportunity to develop specific partnerships and legitimacy.
www.FITT-for-Innovation.eu
FITT Toolbox: Technology Transfer (TT) CollaborationFITT
The chapter TT collaboration addresses the topic of networking at two levels: Firstly, the added value of participating in networks for people active in technology transfer is highlighted at an international level. Additionally, at a local level, technology transfer network with local actors reinforces their local embeddings and grants a privileged, neutral and legitimate channel for two-ways transfer between transfer officers and other stakeholders.
www.FITT-for-Innovation.eu
The presented case study is about Siruna NV, which has developed software for real time deployment of mobile websites through a dual Open Source business model. Although this model is not widely adapted, this model can be easily copied as far as it helps to cover development costs by the help of a large and free developer community, helps to market the product, quickly, sets a reference in a rapidly evolving market and succeeds in creating value within an open source setting.

At Imperial Innovation, the decision regarding the business model is taken by the technology transfer officers. The reason is that researchers often lack market knowledge and commercial skills and are therefore not always able to see the full potential of a certain technology. To enhance the commercial skills of researchers, Imperial College London has set up the Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Design program. The program gives students and researchers the opportunity to follow an entrepreneurial journey that provide them with insights into the challenge of introducing novel products and services to market.

If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

9. Where?
• All workshops occur on a residential location to
promote the bootcamp atmosphere. The first edition
was organized in a Monasterium (converted to a
hotel), the second edition in a Castel.
• On the first edition (iBoot2008) there was a possibility
for the teams to sleep over, to promote the team
building. This facility was however not repeated in
the next editions, but teams are left free.
9 | 12.02.2010 Entrepreneurial Bootcamp
11. Pro’s & Cons
Pro’s
• Strength: create a winning team that is able to make a business idea
happen.
• Innovation: coaching by doing by coaching
• Right to copy: Generic format applicable in all kinds of business
environments (except Inceptum tool that is licensed)
Cons
• Problems: risk of rising expectations too high
• potential problems: ability to find the complementary skills to form a
team
• Advice: take time to find the right team members around an idea
11 | 12.02.2010 Entrepreneurial Bootcamp
12. Why ? Rationale iBootcamp
Context: mission of IBBT to create new business opportunities
‘problem’ solver: real life approach starting from the main assets =
people and (good) ideas -> quickly identify hidden skills and expertise
among iBootcamp participants in domains such as communication,
presentation, entrepreneurship, innovation, leadership, business
acumen, ...
The main bottleneck in a research organisation is not to find good ideas
and competent (technological) people, but to find the lacking
complementary skills available outside the organisation. With
iBootcamp one creates the ideal platform to match those skills around a
specific idea with great potential. Doing this you cover entrepreneurial
awareness building, you identify business opportunities within the eco-
system and you help to kick off new business.
12 | 12.02.2010 Entrepreneurial Bootcamp
13. Why ? Impact iBootcamp
Evidence of success: most teams (8 of 10) convinced a professional
venture board of their potential. Of the 10 teams so far (2008-2009) two
have already started doing business, 5 have been accepted for further
incubation, only 2 did not succeed.
Recommendation: strong format for quickly assessing real business
opportunity and at the same time building a business team of skilled and
motivated people
Impact on future performance: iBootcamp creates a lot of awareness of
business opportunities lying within the eco-system of the organisation, it
motivates skilled people to invest free time in developing ‘their’ idea and
it creates a good deal flow of well prepared investment opportunities for
internal or external VC money or at least for further incubation.
13 | 12.02.2010 Entrepreneurial Bootcamp
14. Outcome of iBootcamp: today
Learning effect:
ideas and teams of second bootcamp were stronger and better
Steep learning curve within teams
Strong marketing effect on IBBT profile as an organisation able to
support new business development, making the transition form idea
generation to commercialisation
During second bootcamp there was a joined team that attended the
Alcatel-Lucent bootcamp = open innovation extended to similar activities
of business partners
14 | 12.02.2010 Entrepreneurial Bootcamp
15. Outcome of iBootcamp: plans for the future
3th edition of iBootcamp (2010) will pay more attention to the team
building, coaching for marketing of the business ideas and feedback to
the teams (through dry runs) before the exposure to the final jury.
Feedback shortly after the final jury and follow up are also point of
attention
Flemish feasibility study to establish a Flemish incubation center
providing these kind of bootcamps for the Flemish industry
Find extra financial resources for follow-up of successful teams (through
Proof of Concept funds, pre seed investment funds)
15 | 12.02.2010 Entrepreneurial Bootcamp
16. Lessons Learned
Looking back now, what would you …
• … do different/improve? Pay more attention to the team building after
the dating event and have the coaches better prepared before the
start of the workshops
• … improve? Better use of software tool by teams
• … recommend to others? Just do it (learning by doing)
