"Common Operative Model for
Assessing innovative Potential
and for Supporting Policy
Decision for development”
Marseille, 2nd April 2014
“Shapes Common Model” is a result of the
capitalization of 2 different models:
-the model for measuring Local Balance of
Innovation (ALBI) and –
- the model for simulation and valuation of
quality of living environment (QLE) that is
introducing the quality of time-balance
indicators, related to spatial quality,
lifestyles and possibilities .
IN-EUR + INFLOWENCE
1st phase: Joining the models
in one
ASSUMPTIONS:
- Creative people and creative industries are known as an important
driving force for improving the attractiveness of the areas and their
development toward better quality of life.
- The assessing of potentials for innovation development of creative
industries is recognized as an important challenge for future
territorial development.
In the case of creative industries it is not only related to the
“classical” indicators of innovation potential, but it is as well very
closely related to numerous aspects of quality of life (environmental
quality, quality of place, health and wellbeing, time quality balance)
and society characteristics (openness, human resources,
interchanging, culture…).
ASSUMPTIONS:
- For this approach it is very important to take into consideration all
the complexity and comprehensiveness of the area of investigations.
- Understanding the local level potentials and local benefits plays an
important role in the overall conception of the model.
About the joint model
The model helps to understand the
complexity of the factors that are important
for attracting, supporting and developing
innovativeness and creativity within the
territory.
It puts 3 main areas of investigation into
focus:
• Society
• Economy
• Space
About the joint model
It is composed by 6 drivers / conditions that are
important for creating the potentials:
•Creative enterprise system
•Education, knowledge and research
•Social context and skills
•Spatial and environmental quality
•Finance and infrastructure framework
•Overall support from governance.
2nd phase: testing the model
Test in 7 regions/territories:
-
Aragona (ES)
-
Rhodes (GR)
-
Calabria (IT)
-
Lazio (IT)
-
Lucca (IT)
-
Algarve (P)
-
Ljubljana (SL)
Testing the model is a possibility for (local ) public
authorities to explore the present situation and potentials of
their territories for:
- attracting creative and innovative enterprises and actors,
-supporting
the development of innovative and creative
production,
-improving
attractiveness, economic growth and
competitiveness of the whole territory.
Testing the model is also a possibility for (local) public
authorities to compare their situation to the situations in the
6 other testing areas/territories and so to notice their
advantages and weaknesses, to develop ideas, to make
choices and to improve their policies,
