9. Socio-technical experiments - undertaken in real settings - a variety of actors is involved (companies, suppliers, partners, but also users, policy makers, local administrations, governmental agencies, NGOs, etc.) - financial and/or institutional protection - aimed at learning at many different dimensions (user preferences, political, regulative, cultural, social, etc.) - aimed at stimulating and influencing relevant actors to support and protect the innovations UNIVERSITIES PSS SOCIO-TECHNICAL EXPERIMENT CUSTOMERS/ USERS CUSTOMERS/USERS PREFERENCES COMPETITORS COMPETITIVE PRESSURE GOVERNAMENTAL INSTITUTIONS NORMS, REGULATIONS GOVERNAMENTAL INSTITUTIONS COMPANIES CUSTOMERS/ USERS ONGs

12. Designing socio-technical experiments [adaptation from Van den Bosch, 2010] test repeat the experiment in other contexts give visibility link to other projects move from experimentation to mainstream SOCIO-TECHNICAL EXPERIMENT experiment as AGENT OF CHANGE experiment as a WINDOW experiment as a LAB BROADENING replicating and linking the PSS innovation to other contexts and functions DEEPENING learning as much as possible on a PSS innovation in its context SCALING-UP embedding the PSS innovation in dominant ways of thinking, doing and organising SETTING-UP creating the conditions for setting-up the experiment INCUBATION
13. > set up the basis for implementing the socio-technical experiment > build-up a project network, discuss and adjust the PSS concept, agree on an action plan OBJECTIVES INCUBATION
14. Identify the actors potentially interested in the PSS concept, as well as the actors needed to give protection and support to the innovation INCUBATION - not only the actors that can be part of the PSS value chain (partners, suppliers, users, etc.) but also: - the actors that can directly influence dominant practices and institutions (e.g. local administrations, policy makers, governmental institutions) - the actors that can mobilise public opinion and indirectly influence the regime (e.g. societal pressure groups, NGOs, media) - the actors that can legitimise and give stability to the first phases of the experiment (e.g. governmental institutions) - the actors that can contribute in the PSS innovation development (e.g. outsider firms, research centres)
15. Involve the identified actors in discussions and negotiations in order to achieve a common consensus on the PSS concept as well as on the potential strategies to socially embed it INCUBATION - discuss/adjust the PSS concept and the action plan and achieve a common consensus. This brings the project network to agree on the long-term goals as well as on the (short- and medium-term) steps to be carried out. - assign tasks and roles to each actor - set-up meetings and workshops to present and discuss the PSS concept (project vision) and the action plan (how the concept be socially embedded)
16. > learning and exploring how to improve the PSS innovation at many different dimensions (e.g. user preferences, political, regulative, cultural, social, etc.) > learning and exploring how to favour/influence the PSS innovation societal embedding > repeat the experiment in different contexts/functions OBJECTIVES experiment as a LAB
17. Select a proper site where to implement the experiment - select a site where the PSS innovation can easily get visibility - select a site where experimentation can be easily conducted (protected real setting) - if local NGOs or associations are involved in the project, select a site where these actors are located or undertake activities (in order to legitimise the experiment) experiment as a LAB
18. Identify protection measures - (in the first phases) protect the PSS innovation from market competition through financial protection (e.g. investment grants, tax exemptions, feed-in tariffs, strategic investment by companies) - protect the PSS innovation through socio-institutional protection (e.g. local administration allows the use of particular area for the experiment, the local administration adopts regulations to support the PSS innovations, etc.) - when the PSS innovation is sufficiently stable and reinforcing mechanisms have been established (such as a network of supporters, users and suppliers), financial protection should be gradually dismantled. On the other hand socio-institutional protection (new social relationships, routines, standards, etc.) should be reinforced and transferred into mainstream settings experiment as a LAB
19. Learn and explore how to improve the PSS innovation on different dimensions - use the experiment to improve the technical aspects and design specifications (e.g. technicians, PSS providers in interviews/questionnaires to collect feedback on the critical issues) - use the experiment to improve the usability aspects of the PSS (e.g. involve users, and PSS providers in interviews/questionnaires to collect feedback on the critical issues) - use the experiment to learn about the implementation and diffusion barriers at many different dimensions (infrastructure, regulation, social and cultural acceptance) - use the experiment to learn about the social and environmental benefits expected from the PSS - use the experiment to learn about the social and cultural acceptance (e.g. through the involvement of NGOs, local associations etc.) experiment as a LAB
20. Repeat the experiment in different contexts/functions - repeat the experiment in a variety of contexts - experiment with new functions experiment as a LAB
21. experiment as a WINDOW > give visibility to the PSS innovation and the related project network > attract and enroll new actors > build-up synergies with other projects/initiatives OBJECTIVES
22. experiment as a WINDOW Give visibility to the experiment - use the experiment to engage and enroll new actors (e.g. organise visits to demonstrate to different actors the experiment results and potential benefits; organise events to show the experiment, etc.) - disseminate the experiment results to the different target actors (wider public, local administration, potential industrial partner, etc.). Use different communication strategies in relation to the different actors typologies - create synergies with other actors (such as NGOs, societal pressure group and media) to support the communication activities
23. experiment as a WINDOW Create synergies with other projects/initiatives - identify local initiatives and projects that could be connected to the experiment (e.g. projects and initiatives focusing on issues linked to the experiment). Build-up synergies with them (e.g. develop a common agenda, a common communication strategy, etc.)
24. > influence contextual conditions in order to favour the societal embedding process OBJECTIVES experiment as AGENT OF CHANGE
25. experiment as AGENT OF CHANGE influence contextual conditions in order to favour the societal embedding process - stimulate potential users to get in touch with the experiment and change their behaviours/routines - stimulate local administrations and policy makers to adopt financial and policy measures to support the PSS innovation - in general stimulate and influence relevant actors to support and protect the innovation (e.g. create synergies with potential industrial partners capable to scale-up the innovation) - set-up linkages with regime players (e.g. governmental institutions) to take away regime barriers (e.g. with regard to procedure, regulations, etc.) - bring the experiment to the attention of national NGOs and associations, and stimulate them to support the PSS innovation.

29. Design approach Designing socio-technical experiments requires: a broad system approach, focused not only on the PSS solution and its value chain, but also on the contextual conditions that may favour or hinder the societal embedding of the PSS itself. the adoption of a strategic attitude oriented at influencing the socio-technical context, in order to create the most favourable conditions for the innovation (i.e. by involving those actors that, directly or indirectly, could affected regime practices and institutions). a “bifocal” attitude: the formalisation of a long-term vision (the PSS concept) is combined with the identification of short/medium term actions (the vision is translated into a transition path oriented towards the gradually achievement of the vision itself)
