The cases coming from services promotion and from environmental policy are particularlyinspiring:whateveracommunity’schallenge,moreandmorecreative innovationwillbepartoftheanswer.

Oxford RobertMadelin April2017 v Foreword by the European Commission MISTstandsforModelingInnovationSustainabilityandTechnologies,whichisof growing importance. The innovation landscape has fundamentally changed from the rather well-defined, even predictable “old” economic behaviors to the new, connected and networked world where the interdependencies together with the dynamicspresentarealchallenge. What I see as the challenge for this book too is to keep the strong focus on modelingitself,basedonanunderstandingofmoderninnovation.Wearenolonger inlinear,predictableinnovationprocesses,sincemuchoftheinnovationisparallel, networked,andmultidisciplinary. Forpolicy making, theinnovation modeling can bringvaluablehintsonwhich kindsofprocessesbestfosterthesuccessandspeedofinnovationandhowtobuild enabling technologies but increasingly more relational infrastructures for success. According to the work by Lin and Edvinsson, the structural intellectual capital is thekeyfactorforsuccessfulinnovationpolicy,i.e.,howthevariouselementsinthe wholeinnovationsysteminteract!Itisnotaboutcreatinginnovationorknowledge islandsbuttocreatetheinteractions,reflections,andprocesses.

Innovation is to make things happen, and innovation ecosystems at their best catalyze collisions igniting new ideas and bringing them into innovations.

The growing power of artificial intelligence, machine learning,cloud computing, big data and the so called IoT (Internet ofthe Things) have brought the need to adapt for many individuals and organizations, which is resultinginradicalnewformsofbusinessmodeling,policies,societalsystemsand societyitself,aswell.
