DHV and Dialogic are conducting a baseline measurement for the Knowledge and Innovation Action Programme. This baseline measurement serves as a starting point for the Knowledge and Innovation Action Programme. This programme has a threefold objective, namely:
1. To make a tangible contribution to the knowledge economy (research) from the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management;
2. To enhance the innovation capacity of Infrastructure and Water Management sectors (logistics, traffic, water, aviation, and construction industry);
3. To (better) organize knowledge within Infrastructure and Water Management.
The baseline measurement serves various purposes. Firstly, it aims to (1) create a reference point against which the intended results of the envisaged two-year Action Programme can be compared. The baseline measurement provides a systematic and substantive basis for subsequent measurements that will enable the determination of outcomes of the Knowledge and Innovation Action Programme. Additionally, the baseline measurement should (2) provide starting points to strengthen the ministry's position in the areas of knowledge and innovation (indication of bottlenecks). Based on the baseline measurement, activities will be identified for an action plan. Furthermore, the baseline measurement serves the function of (3) gaining support for the Action Programme. Finally, a more implicit objective is that through this baseline measurement, Infrastructure and Water Management also (4) informs external stakeholders about its contribution to the knowledge economy and innovation capacity.
