I-Corps: Stakeholder Alignment for Public-Private Partnerships

在整个社会基础设施系统中，继承的利益相关者协调机制不完整或不足以应对创造价值和减轻伤害的双重挑战。项目团队开发的新的专有技术能够在系统一级迅速代表利益相关者的利益。这些技术与服务提供模式和中立立场相结合，代表了推进“科学的科学”和提高社会能力的强大平台。该技术的初步应用主要集中在社区绿色能源、生物医学、区域创新、地球科学以及公共和私营利益攸关方参与大规模举措的其他领域。专有技术的影响有三个方面：1。重大科技行动加快实施; 2.可以更快地做出明确的“进行/不进行”决策和战略支点; 3.以实时数据为基础的新制度安排更有效、更稳健、更可持续。在商业上，设想建立一个有明确业务领域的创业企业，客户包括公共部门和私营部门。中立的“诚实经纪人”立场与单一客户咨询公司的工作截然不同。创业企业将有一个“双重底线”，强调财务成功和社会贡献。特别重要的是通过创造就业机会产生的倍增效应，这将在每个项目中记录在案。例如，在一个潜在的未来项目中，即在前空军基地建设一个新的发电厂，有可能通过施工过程创造500-800个就业机会，并在正在进行的运营中创造50-80个就业机会。

Across societal infrastructure systems, the inherited institutional mechanisms for stakeholder alignment are incomplete or inadequate for the twin challenges for creating value and mitigating harm. New proprietary technologies developed by the project team enable speedy representation of stakeholder interests at the system level. These technologies, combined with a service delivery model and a neutral stance, represents a powerful platform for advancing "the science of science" and increasing societal capabilities. Preliminary applications of the technology have focused on community green energy, biomedicine, regional innovation, the geosciences, and other domains where a mix of public and private stakeholders are engaged in large-scale initiatives. The impacts of the proprietary technology are threefold: 1. The implementation of large-scale scientific and technological initiatives is accelerated; 2. Clear "go/ no-go" decisions, and strategic pivots, can be made more quickly; 3. New institutional arrangements, anchored in real-time data, are more effective, robust, and sustainable. Commercially, an entrepreneurial business with defined practice areas is contemplated, with a mix of public and private sector clients. The neutral "honest broker" stance is distinct from the work of single-client consulting firms. The entrepreneurial business will have a "double bottom-line" that emphasizes financial success and societal contributions. Of particular importance will be the multiplier effects through job creation, which will be documented on each project. For example, in a potential future project on the siting of a new power plant on a former Air Force base, there is the potential to generate over 500-800 jobs through the construction process and an additional 50-80 jobs associated in ongoing operations.
