Final evaluation of Industrial Postdoc Project: Project name: Critical Success Factors for Knowledge and Innovation Management in the Sustainable Energy Consulting Sector

This project fulfilled success criteria for both research and practice. The practice-related success criteria relate to Danish Energy Management (DEM), a Danish consultancy company with a focus on sustainability and energy. For DEM, the general success criteria include 1) incorporating knowledge and innovation into work processes, 2) developing a system for improved knowledge and innovation flow, and 3) creating a business model framework for attracting clients with innovative services. Academically, the success criteria include publications in peer- reviewed articles regarding 1) networked actors’ role in shaping knowledge and innovation processes; 2) knowledge sharing systems in networked partnerships, and; 3) a new business process framework for knowledge in action. These general success criteria remained the same for the duration of the project, with one exception. This exception is that the systems related article (academic point 2) became an article regarding the new concept of sustainable visioning, for which the collaboration partner at Aarhus University remained the same.
