Abstract

Recent years have seen a surge of “missions” in innovation policy. The grand, and seemingly overwhelming challenges humanity faces at the beginning of the 21st century, are typically cited as the driver behind this shift. With mission-oriented innovation policies (MOIP), policymakers choose a top-down perspective, while at the same time granting “embedded autonomy” to all actors involved: A bold and well-defined challenge is set, that gives direction to the aspired transformation and bottom-up experimentation by a large field of actors will need to solve the myriad of tasks left open. Thus, successful MOIPs will need to spark activity in multiple sectors and disciplines and keep actors involved over a long period and throughout a demanding transformation process. We present a tool for co-designing concrete actions, the smallest parts of a MOIP. We argue that due to the long timeframe of MOIPs and – if successful – the constantly changing innovation landscape, it is essential that all actors involved have a clear perception of how their actions contribute to the tragets of the MOIP. By collecting the very basic information on the context for an action, the action itself, and indicators that show whether or not an action creates an output as desired, the Monitoring Canvas secures transparency for all parties involved and allows for the continuous modification of an action. Thus, the Monitoring Canvas is not a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation system, but rather its “front end” – designed for high usability.
