  1. Loïc BordaisHead of industrial liaison office Partnership management : Usingdecision support tools www.in2p3.fr

  2. Definition of Dr. Brown of Swansea Hospital : seven steps Outline your goal and outcome. Gather data. Develop alternatives List pros and cons of each alternative. Make the decision. Immediately take action to implement it. Learn from and reflect on the decision. Decisionmakingsteps

  3. Decisionmakingsteps : step 2 « Gather data » • The pyramid of information in watch process

  4. Decision support tools in partnership management : an example • An example of strategicapproach for animal healthdepartment of INRA (National Institute for Agricultural Research) 2005-2007 •  Question : How to diversifypartnership to European or Wolrdwidelevel in ourlabs ? (Stepone «Outline your goal » ) • Twocorefactors : • Researchactivityisnow a partnershipactivity • Strategicpartnershipis a key for scientific excellence • So how to choosea wellfittedpartnership? • You need to know actors, theiractivity and importance, existing or possible partnership : youneed to gather INFORMATION (step 2) , youneed to makedecision (step 5) « choosepartners » and implementit (step 6) « enter into collaboration ». • For pragmaticreasons : no time to spend for researchers, difficulty to get the « grey information » and others, our support team chose a self evaluationmethodfrom the Sociologic Centre of Innovation in Paris : the ASPUR method.

  5. Partnership management : ASPUR StrategicPartnershipAnalysis for Research Unit Major actor Medium actor Weakactor

  6. Partnership management : limitations of self evaluationapproach • Perfect to collectgrey information in condensedform in a limited time • But risk of : • missing of actors, missing of quantitative information about actors • Unrelevant qualification of actors (feeling vs facts) thatmayconduct to a wrongpartnership • You need an objective assesment of information. Decisionmakingis a combinationbetween feeling and facts. • So wedecided in 2007 to reinforcement the ASPUR method by watchtools : collectingtools for internet sites, publications sites, tools for patent database (matheo patent), financialdatabases.

  7. Partnership management : implementation of watchtools • Definition of required information : size of actors, R&D indicators • For academics : standard figures, publications, patents • For economicactors : financial figures, patents • Objective : re-define importance of actors in ASPUR method • Watch tools : Keywatch for web crawling, SCRL databases for financial figures, Web of science for publications, matheo patents for patents. • Difficulties : • Watch toolswere not soeasy to manage in 2007 ; differenttoolswithoutintegration • Importance of keywords : welldefinedfield of research • Means: more human and financial ressources

  8. Partnership management : conclusion • Decision support tools are strategic in a more an more complex world. Use it ! • At first : stepone Outline your goal and outcome : • Take time to know what are yousearching for ? What do youwant to know ? • Then : step 2 Gather data • what do youneed as information ? • Whattoolswouldbeuseful ? • Existing or new ones (like in HEP experiments) : new tools open new possibilities • So buildyourown information system and analysing structure : itis a wellknownwatchprocess • Do not try to reach perfection right the first time ; itis a back and forth system • Thanks for your attention.
