Objective
DonQ SPI consortium is aware of the difficulties to introduce Software Best Practice techniques into Software development SMEs. The regional and proactive approach needed to reach a sufficient number of them is the starting point of this project which has as main objectives to generate a set of six demonstrative pilot projects. The results of the pilots will be the core basis for a European wide dissemination campaign.
ACTIONS
The project follows DonQ Methodology, a tool to guide in the dissemination of technologies in adverse environments. It consist of the development of an proactive dissemination campaign centred in two regions (Basque Country and Bremen), including:
a diagnosis and selection of innovation prone SMEs, approx. 16 SME to be diagnosed, 6 to be selected.
a management training for the SMEs.
a detailed analysis and posterior elaboration of an implementation plan per each SME.
a European wide dissemination campaign at regional level, including the training of regional Trainers (for approx. 50 persons).
the elaboration of a Generalised Methodology for the Dissemination of Software Best Practice.
the continuous dissemination of the activities, the case studies, and the results of the project.
In parallel, DonQ SPI will co-ordinate its activities with other similar and complementary Dissemination Actions within ESSI programme.
EXPECTED IMPACT AND EXPERIENCE
DonQ SPI expects to directly (through seminars, conferences, visits,...) reach a number between 250 and 350 SMEs in each of the two regions where it will be implanted in the local stage. Besides the European wide dissemination action will reach aprox. 1000 persons involved in software development, or related to innovation in supporting public institutions.
