NORDHAVNEN'S LIVING LAB Jun. 2013 | Page 30

Collecting learning processes

Evaluating the experiment
Task C-1 : Carefully design and firmly establish the monitoring and evaluation scheme . Task C-2 : Ensure that feedback loops are gathered while the experiment is running . Here the communication platform set up in B might be helpful .
Task C-3 : Include all actors in the learning step , draw on their different perspective , engage in translating findings between different actors , in order to come to a deeper , shared understanding of how the experiment performs .
Task C-4 : Encompass the different dimensions of the experiment , ranging from technical development and infrastructure , development of user context and user preferences , societal and environmental impact , industrial development and potential , to government policy and regulatory framework .
Task C-5 : Transform learnings into adjustments of the experiment where necessary .
Task C-6 : Utilize the rich network of actors and use it to create new knowledge as a feedback for the living laboratory , e . g . partners from universities can play an important role of this evaluation process .
Altering the framework conditions and creating opportunity for diffusion
Task C-7 : Evaluate how users react to the introduced experiment and if a change in behaviour , compared to the areas outside of the living laboratory Nordhavnen , is occurring . Task C-8 : Evaluate unintended consequences or reactions occurring and if they are related to any trends , which have not been included in the strategic considerations at the start . Task C-9 : Evaluate what can be learned from those consequences or reactions . Task C-10 : Evaluate if those consequences or reactions can be captured by altering the setup of the experiment . Task C-11 : Identify if the experiment , or elements from it are mature enough to offer opportunities for diffusion into the wider cityscape .
