Important results from the project
The purpose has been to develop a method for following up the long-term impacts of projects funded by InfraSweden three years after completion. The goals are that the method involves follow-ups of the project´s development towards innovation, makes it possible to check off completed projects against the program´s objectives and impact logic, is systematic and can be used in future follow-ups.
Expected long term effects
The project has resulted in a method for monitoring impacts and a model for analysis. The results are expected to be used in future follow-ups of the projects´ development towards innovation and to reconcile completed projects against the program´s objectives and impact logic. It is expected that application of the method will contribute to increasing the knowledge of the projects´ impacts and to identify success factors for projects financed via InfraSweden.
Approach and implementation
Initially, information in project reports were analysed for 30 projects. The conclusion was that data needed to be collected from people who had been involved in completed projects. After that, a draft method and follow-up criteria were developed and discussed at a workshop with InfraSweden´s focus area leaders. A questionnaire was drawn up and tested in a survey among 26 project managers. The results of the application were compiled in power-point, excel templates and project report.
