Abstract
This paper explores opportunities for supporting the
orchestration of innovation ecosystems, hence
contributing to a fundamental capability in the networked
world. We present analysis, evaluation and interpretation
toward the objective of decision support and insights for
transforming innovation ecosystems with a case study of
EIT ICT Labs, a major initiative intended to turn Europe
into a global leader in ICT innovation. Towards this, we
use a data-driven, relationship-based and network centric
approach to operationalise the 'innovation ecosystems
transformation framework'. Our results indicate that with
coordinated and continuously improved use of visual and
quantitative social network analysis, special
characteristics, significant actors and connections in
the innovation ecosystem can be revealed to develop new
insights. We conclude that the IETF transformation
framework can be used to develop shared vision and to
support the orchestration of innovation ecosystem
transformations.
