Quadruple-helix in university innovation programs: toward a digital tool for socio-economic impact evaluation
Résumé
This research work presents the development of a digital tool designed to assist in the impact evaluation of quadruple helix strategic innovation programs in university settings. The motivation for this tool stemmed from a 9-year university project that sought to generate socioeconomic impacts through a range of activities involving stakeholders such as economic actors, policy makers, and citizens. The project proposal primarily emphasized output indicators for evaluating the overall project and its individual actions. However, due to the diverse nature of the project, which comprised multiple work packages with distinct objectives and involving different stakeholders, formulating an impact evaluation strategy based on the concept of a results chain within the micro-meso-macro environment framework proved challenging. Furthermore, effectively communicating this strategy with collaborators proved even more difficult. Consequently, there emerged a need for a tool that could facilitate the structuring of the assessment strategy and provide a comprehensive list of commonly used indicators for evaluating the impact of innovation programs. The proposed tool aims to integrate multiple perspectives within the project to offer indicators aligned with specific objectives and the results chain. Moreover, leveraging these indicators, the tool enables the creation of data collection forms and generates a multifactorial dashboard of outcome indicators.
