Lessons learned
• Hard to use measures such as new firms or new
jobs. Most of our projects aims to change
structures, not to directly create new firms/jobs.
• Indicators can’t be the only way to evaluate
programs/projects, case studies and ongoing
evaluation is often better tools for learning.
• We can’t use macro statistics to evaluate our
program.
• Active ownership/engagement from the lead
partners of the project is important.

Macro statistics are not usable
for evaluation
The size of the structural funds in Skåne-Blekinge is much to
small to be measured by macro statistics

Work with strategies and evaluation
• 2008-09: Self evaluation and peer review of our RIS.
• 2010-2011 (Oct/Nov): Innovation and cluster strategy.
• 2011: Pilot study for a cluster evaluation model based on
both register data and surveys.
• 2011-2012: OECD Territorial review.
• The processes above need to be linked together more
clearly with a logical chain from strategy and action to the
indicators.
