1. Executive Summary
What?
The report was prepared within WP6 – Training and it is related to Task 6.1 – Definition of the training needs. The
deliverable presents the questionnaire defining the training needs in innovation management and the (list with) the
training needs of the INSEC end users (represented by 4 (four) different types of security organizations such as 1)
Rescue Services, 2) Police and National Security Office, 3) Academies of Security Sciences and 4) National Security
Infrastructures). The questionnaire was designed by the Consultant Partners 1 of INSEC project. The report does not
present an exhaustive diagnosis of the Security Sector but a method to identify the training needs of security (INSEC)
partner organisations related to innovation management aspects.
Why?
The scope of Task 6.1 is to design a proper tool (questionnaire) for identification of the training needs of INSEC end
users related to innovation management that will be used later in INSEC project for developing the training course
materials that will be promoted to all security end users by an e-learning training system (Task 6.2 + Task 6.3) and
training materials that will be used during the classic training sessions (to be organised within the last year of the INSEC
project (Task 6.4)). Also, a list of the training needs (of INSEC end users) in innovation management has been defined.
How?
The methodology used for identification of the training needs of INSEC end users was based on collection of information
(questionnaires + interviews), analysis of information received, analysis of other related materials (official reports, other
documents / studies, methods) combining a qualitative method (based on the experience of Consultant partners but also
end users) with a quantitative, analytical approach.

Consultant partners: ALMACG, EFPC, FMMC, KAOS, ADVISIO, GLOBAZ, EVR and INOGATE
The Consultant partners identified & analysed the end users problems & needs;
The end users actively participated in the “diagnosis” process.
Task 6.1 results will be used within the next INSEC tasks for the development of the training course materials that will be
exploited by an e-learning training system (Task 6.2 + Task 6.3) and training materials used during the classic training
sessions organization (planned during the 2nd year of INSEC project (Task 6.4)).

3. Context
The project proposed to define “a framework that will contribute to better performance of the end users organisations,
focusing on their Research and Innovation management system as fundamental method to create knowledge and
transform it into economic and social wealth3”.
Four different types of security sector end users have contributed to this task:

4. Approach
The general approach for implementation of Task 6.1 is presented in the figure 2 below:

(themes) for the
problems & needs problems & needs
identified solutions
In order to apply the approach presented in figure 2 the following methodology / tasks have been implemented (figure 3):
Note that the specific methodology used for identification of the training needs is presented in Annex 2.
According to the Document of Work (DoW), the Consultant partners proposed to identify the INSEC end users training
needs on innovation management “by using a specific tool (questionnaire)”8. In the same time, for the implementation of
other WPs activities (WP3, WP4 and WP5 mainly) the development of other specific questionnaires & tools for collecting
information and making analysis was needed.
On this basis and during the first 2 months of project implementation, several discussions were carried out for reducing
the complexity of actions (and tools) that will be used in relation with project end users, while respecting the planned
actions and ensuring a high quality level of inputs received .
It was finally decided to create only one (but complex) questionnaire9 (instead of several) answering all WPs (WP 3, 4, 5
and 6) needs. In respect with WP6 / Task 6.1 the identification of the training needs became a transversal component
This decision being taken, each WP leader started the preparation of the questions (according to each WP activities and
needs) that will be further included within the same questionnaire.
In order to define the structure of this (complex) questionnaire a conceptual model was used (the one proposed by WP3
leader), by a combined analysis of internal and external factors that could influence the innovation management within
an organization10. The COTIM methodology (Citizen/Cash Oriented Total Innovation Management 11) covered the internal
factors and the external ones were answered by the Triple Helix model12).
The COTIM methodology presents “all elements involved in innovation within an organization together with a set of
methods, rules and postulated to help manage and boost it”13, such as:
1. Culture
2. Strategy
3. Management model
4. People and organization
5. Knowledge
6. Processes
7. Systems and information technologies
8. Infrastructures
9. Financial
10. Products and services
In our analysis these 10 elements covered the internal innovation (management) system.
The Triple Helix model analyses the external factors establishing relationships with any organisation in the innovation
process. At the beginning the model comprised three elements:
1. Industry,
2. Academy and
3. State (Government)

Based on these 14 (10 + 4) elements within the questionnaire were defined the specific areas for analysis. Features
(various elements) characterizing each of those areas of analysis were also specified and a list of items (to check /
validate whether those innovative features characterize the organization, or not) was included. The questionnaire
comprises closed and open questions and it was used as a collection tool (quantitative and qualitative aspects); the
interpretation of data received and final analysis was made based on the proven experience of “Consultant partners”
during other related initiatives/contracts & their day-by-day activities.
All Consultant partners were involved within the questionnaire development & improvement phase and all agreed the final
version. Before being used - as a public document - it was “tested”.
The questionnaire was submitted to all INSEC end users and feedbacks from them were received. Further, based on the
questionnaire structure, other 2 tools were developed in order to support the (training) needs identification:
Interview script14, by which the Consultant partners performed interviews with INSEC end users (the scope was
to better understand - and further address - the problems & needs of end users, the interview method giving to
Consultant partners a real chance to focus on those elements that remained unclear after the first analysis they
had based on the questionnaire feedback) - it was a specific activity of WP3 but gave relevant inputs also for
WP6/Task 6.1;
Best practice questionnaire15 - the objective was to identify and collect “best practices” that could be
transposed from other sectors to security actors; the questionnaire addressed to External end users
(representing other actors from Security sector + Other activity sectors) – it was a specific activity of WP5 but
gave relevant inputs also for WP6/Task 6.1;
All Consultant partners were involved within the tools development & improvement phase and all agreed the final format.

There is a real need to help managers (commander unit and chief commander) better understand how to start
creating internal innovative processes and how to motivate employees (fire fighters) get involved in this kind of tasks.
(ALMACG)
Innovation management methods for increasing the involvement of key personnel: although most of the key
personnel are exposed to innovation activities through rotation programs, and some innovation-oriented events,
EASS could benefit from training for how to systematically enhance a predisposed innovative corporate culture.
(ADVISIO)
The concept of the organizational culture is missing (not only for innovation aspect); there are no methods in practice
defining, formulating or maintaining a certain organizational culture level (including innovative one); the managers
must be supported to understand the innovation principles, to further attract and imply the employees in innovation
actions (improve creativity, promote new ideas, etc.) and then to utilize methods for motivation. (FMMC)
Solution at problems (driving ideas): Organizational (innovative) culture; Motivation of personnel; Creativity sessions.
Training themes proposed to answer at the problems identified: Organizational (pro-innovation) culture; Innovation
management (methods and processes); Motivation of personnel; Creativity improvement
Training on best suitable methodologies to create an innovation strategy for a security sector end-user, whose core
activities are related to academic research. Herein, perhaps the main question is how to construct an innovation
strategy that has the best mix for both academic and more "practices-oriented" innovation activities. (ADVISIO)
The strategy is not in fact a strategy developed based on a strategic management model/plan (definition of mission,
strategic objectives, resources, timeframe, global strategy, policy formulation) but a (long) list with responsibilities
(many of which are not respected even by those who create it); the implementation of activities do not take into
consideration the minimum necessary / requested needs within the organization (FMMC)
Solution at problems (driving ideas): Organizational strategy development
Training themes proposed to answer at the problems identified: Development of innovation strategy (plan)
Training on how to introduce the new innovation model in the organisation (ALMACG)
Methods for forecasting / assessing the qualitative aspect of innovation management (currently, most of the impact
assessment is cost-based. A certain budget is allocated for each activity, but it is difficult to add a qualitative
dimension for innovation strategy planning). (ADVISIO)
The (existing) management processes are not clearly defined or applied in order to monitor and evaluate the
activities performed. (FMMC)
Solution at problems (driving ideas): Innovation management model (monitoring and evaluation)
Training themes proposed to answer at the problems identified: Innovation management model
Assessment / forecasting results of innovation management
Training on best practices for organisational structure: how to create a structure that both support productive
innovation as well as allow completing the organisation's daily activities. Additionally, how should organisation
support fund-raising for innovation-activities? Should there be people explicitly responsible for fund-raising? How to
collaborate with other organisations in that regard? (ADVISIO)
In general, the organisation needs a mechanism to identify internal training needs (GLOBAZ)
Managers must be trained concerning (employees) motivation (which is not only financial); the ones having new
(project) ideas must be trained also how to identify the funding programs (for innovative projects). (FMMC)
Solution at problems (driving ideas): Motivation process; Financial programs for innovation
Training themes proposed to answer at the problems identified: Improve the innovative skills /culture; Organizational
management (best practices); Accessing financial sources for innovation; Motivation process
How to assess the impact of development activities on process improvement? Are there best practices for such
assessment? (ADVISIO)
The systems or mechanisms for evaluation of performances are missing (FMMC)
Solution at problems (driving ideas): lack of assessment tools for monitoring the impact of the activities performed
Training themes proposed to answer at the problems identified: Impact assessment on process improvement
Best practices for external collaboration. How to access various networks, and how to better identify external
financing opportunities (e.g. FP programs, and other) (ADVISIO)
Collaboration is in many times seems only for solving a technological need/problem, without being linked to a
potential training action, research projects etc.)…..participation in research and innovation projects must be
increased (RBP received significant funds from MAI, to solve “problems”, without competing with somebody).
(FMMC)
Solution at problems (driving ideas): Collaboration management; Project management
Training themes proposed to answer at the problems identified: Financing RDI at national and European level;
Collaboration management; Project management
Please find below the training themes proposed to answer at the identified needs of the INSEC end users, by using the
interview script method.
The Consultant partners and INSEC end users submitted questionnaires or performed interviews (based on the
questionnaire structure) in order to identify potential “best practices” in innovation management at External end users
(active on security sector and other sectors such as Health, ICT, Transport, Energy, etc.).The structure of the
questionnaire was prepared and proposed by EFPC, UK as WP5 leader. For each, Consultant partner have been
planned to perform 4 interviews (2 with External Security end users + 2 with External Other sectors end users) and each
INSEC end users 2 interviews (with only External Security end users). Per total, 28 (15+13) interviews were performed &
questionnaires were completed.
From the beginning of the INSEC implementation, the Consultant partners decided to use this tool also as a supporting
mechanism for the training needs identification of actors related to security sector (even as External end users). Based
on the information received from Consultant partners, FMMC made its own analysis – for each specific area of interest –
and identified the existing problems and afterwards proposed solutions (as driving ideas) that could be solved by training
sessions. All other Consultant partners received the analysis result, improved it (if it was the case) and gave their final
acceptance.

environment, health and primary education // efficiency enhancers: higher education and training, market efficiency, labor
market efficiency, financial market development, technological readiness, market size // innovation and sophistication
factors: business sophistications and innovation)
If we look at the final 2 columns, we can easily understand that from a total of 141 (respectively 142 countries) the
majority INSEC partner countries are within the first third (UK, France, Estonia, Portugal, Hungary and Spain) with
only 2 countries (Romania and FYROM) within the second half (at a long distance from the first category). Also
within the first group of countries can be identified 2 (UK and France) being somehow separated by the rest as well
as a concentration of the remained ones (rank 30, 32, 34 and 39). Considering the level of innovation of these
countries as an indicator of their needs (see the inputs/outputs included within the analysis performed within the
above mentioned reports), of course not only for actors from security sector, it is obvious that the next phase of the
INSEC project (task 6.4 – organization of classic training sessions) must be more focused on the real needs and
problems of the INSEC (and External) end users from each country where the sessions will be organised.
More information regarding the ranks of the INSEC end user countries for innovation and sophistication factors: i)
business sophistications and ii) innovation are presented in Annex 9.
The same conclusions can be done if we analyse the innovation performance of the EU member states (figure 4).
Source: INNOVATION UNION SCOREBOARD 2011, The Innovation Union's performance scoreboard for
Research and Innovation, 7 February 2012
Note: Average performance is measured using a composite indicator buidling on data for 24 indicators going
from a lowest performance of zero (0) to a maximum possible performance of one (1). Average performance in
2011 reflects performance in 2009/2010 due to a lag in data availability.
From figure 4, we can easily understand that the average of the innovation performance of Romania (as modest
innovators) is far away from UK, France and Estonia (as innovation followers), in between being the innovation
performance of Hungary, Portugal, Spain (as moderate innovators). From this point of view, even if the proposed
training list try to promote now some common training themes, it is clear that for the next step of the project (task
6.4 – Organisation of classic training sessions), the training subjects mus be cusmotized according to the “national”
needs.

General training themes Specific training themes

All the specific training themes defined by Consultant partners (see Annex 11/Table) were taken and included within the list of
the themes to be checked and validated by INSEC end users, according with their interest .
After finalization, the list with the training themes was submitted to leader of task 6.2 (GLOBAZ) in order to start defining the
structure of the e-learning system and chose the first (feasible) modules in order to develop training courses materials.
The acceptance of the proposed training themes was not a simple question at the end of the game but a serious
process that was performed during the whole duration of the task 6.1. implementation (correlated also with other
INSEC tasks implementation for this period). The acceptance process was also a “check point” regarding the
quality of the works carried out, analysis performed, interpretations considered by those making analysis.
The process approval involved both main actors within INSEC, namely the Consultant partners as well as the
INSEC end users.
The Consultant partners were asked to express their point of view (for improvement where necessary) whenever
an important phase concerning the identification of the training needs has been accomplished and a next step was
necessary. Thus, the Consultant partners have
contributed at the creation and accepted the final version of the (complex) questionnaire used for collecting
information and data from INSEC end users;
collected information from and analysed the quality of the inputs provided by INSEC end users;
discovered potential needs and found & proposed solutions at INSEC end users problems, and
checked, proposed and validated the various lists with the training themes proposed, including the final
version with the final proposed training themes.
The Consultant partners have reacted in time and with highest professionalism at any request of the task 6.1.
responsible on the specific aspects of this activity.
The table presenting the acceptance (and improvements) received from all the Consultant partners on the training
themes proposed is presented in Annex 11.
As mentioned above, INSEC end users were also involved into the process approval, but less than Consultant
partners. They have
expressed their views regarding the structure of the questionnaire (helping the Consultant partners to
reduce as much as possible its complexity);
provided information concerning their needs and problems by using the questionnaire;
checked and validated the list of the training themes proposed by Consultant partners.
INSEC end users have answered in due time and with highest professionalism at any request of the task 6.1.
