Business Case
Business case Electric driving
Pernosco, FISITA World Automotive Congress, 2014
The Dutch government is eager to realise a critical mass of two hundred thousand electric vehicles on the roads in the Netherlands by 2020. A variety of projects are being subsidised to study the use of electric vehicles. In return, these pilot projects must communicate the lessons learned to Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO.nl). RVO.nl is a public organisation that is, among other things, charged with subsidy evaluations and publications on behalf of the Dutch government. The objective of this study is to assist pilot projects in registering the utilization data needed to calculate the business case.

Managing the Dutch Energy Transition: Monitoring progress in learning by continuous consolidation of created content

Mapping and capturing knowledge from Dutch energy transition projects. A method to monitor progress in content learning
Pernosco,
The Netherlands is exploring transition management to reach a sustainable energy system in the year 2050. Transition management combines top-down and bottom-up governance with a long-term orientation. The Multi level model illustrates three levels at which transition managers have to operate, the landscape, regime, and niche level (Geels & Kemp, 2000). The basic idea is to experiment and learn in projects at niche level (bottom) that are initiated from a common vision at landscape level (top). The aim is to overcome persistent societal, political and economical barriers to transform or overthrow regimes. Niches are local domains where new or non-standard technologies are used. These domains provide a development lab where new options can be tested in practice and further improvement be stimulated (Aguayo, 2005). It is essential to compile a viable portfolio of the most promising options. In the Dutch Energy Transition some sustainable options are ready and waiting for subsidies or tax benefits to introduce them into the market, whereas other options are still in the research and demonstration phase. Conventional monitoring measures aspects such as emission reduction, employment, and BNP contribution at landscape level, and amount of vehicles, test cycles, publications, site visits at niche level. The generated knowledge about sustainable options are rarely the subject of monitoring. We propose an approach to monitor progress in this content learning, the Pernosco method. The method is illustrated by examples from the transition to sustainable mobility. The platforms have the task of developing visions (for the years 2020/2050) for the corresponding theme, defining the transition paths that should lead to realization of these visions, and specifying the concrete innovation and policy steps involved (Energy Transition, 2009). The challenge is to monitor each transition path objectively.

Pernosco,
Dutch energy policy aims to realize sustainable mobility. The Netherlands choose to use a transition approach. The Platform for Sustainable Mobility (with members from car companies, oil organizations, lease companies, pressure groups and the government) drafts strategic agendas to realize sustainability, analyze and remove bottlenecks for market introduction and set up experiments. The transition approach has the ambition to fundamentally change the Dutch mobility system in the long term. No clear goals are set in the short run, therefore the standard approach of monitoring and evaluating is not applicable. In this paper we develop and apply another approach to the activities of the Platform for Sustainable Mobility: a knowledge value added approach. The approach developed in this paper links elements from knowledge management literature and the added value literature to obtain an approach for the monitoring of the added knowledge value of the Platform for Sustainable Mobility. Starting point is the addition of knowledge value according to the knowledge value circle: development, consolidation, transfer and application. The circle relates in a comparable way all, objectives, issues, instructions, and events. While solving issues knowledge is consolidated according to an object model from knowledge management literature. This so called knowledge value added approach helps the Platform to justify their progress in the state of the art of the Dutch Mobility System. The approach is applied to the case of clean buses. Monitoring and evaluating this case has helped the Platform to add more knowledge value and therefore become more effective.

Chapter 11: KunstStoffenHuis and synthetics innovation within the small business sector
This chapter shows that how a number of small businesses, in co-operation with KunstStoffenHuis (KSH), formed separate innovation clusters to develop product innovations in a structured way. The aim of KSH is to commercialise innovations in chemical applications, especially those related to plastics production in small and medium-sized enterprises. It describes the realisation of the clusters, the role of KSH, participants’ learning experiences, the steps that still lie ahead and, finally, how the sustainability of these innovation processes can be guaranteed. KSH already works by means of a demand-oriented organisational structure in which its consultants maintain contact with small businesses. In addition, KSH aims to make knowledge about new and existing technological developments accessible to the small business sector. The experiences acquired in this business project with respect to knowledge creation and knowledge distribution are limited in an absolute sense because of the fact that the number of clusters and steps to be taken by the clusters is still small.
