Abstract

This final report accounts for the framework and key results from the VINNOVA-funded research and development project, Building Innovation Capacity. The purpose of the BIC project was to explore two features of innovation capacity:

1. How do we explain and measure innovation capacity?
2. How do we develop innovation capacity? Overall, the BIC project shows that an organization's innovation ability is constituted by how capacities, capabilities, and external orientation are associated and employed to mobilize, transform, and use knowledge and ideas to bolster enterprises’ competitive advantage, and innovative performance.

In the BIC project, we have shown that a Nordic learning model holds promise as a competency development method for the improvement of the capability dimension. Capability is a key feature of an organization's ability to create stronger and more sustainable innovation.
