Clear Communication Associates Ltd (CCA) |
 |
Clear Communication Associates Ltd (CCA) joined the TARGET project in the second half of the second year. CCA was founded in 1984 to provide low-cost and low-effort administration for university researchers to undertake short-duration applied-research projects for clients in the public and private sectors. CCA's initial focus was on problems requiring effective communication (in its human senses, in administration, and in the sense of ICT, information and communication technologies). The problems addressed by its associates have broadened over the years. Likewise, while the projects undertaken initially were smaller than university administrations were able to handle, the size of recent projects has increased significantly to include projects at national or regional level. Since 2000, CCA addresses not only communication-linked problems and technologies (and associated issues to do with e-learning, skill acquisition, HR, talent management and knowledge management), but also technology transfer and exploitation, horizon scanning and roadmapping, market analysis and more complex challenges (including relatively intractable "wicked problems") that require a wider range of research domains, networks, skills and insights, and that may involve novel combinations of approaches, processes and technologies. CCA's associates now include high-level professionals as well as noted researchers. They have experience in such fields as systems and process analysis, skill analysis, ergonomics, applied psychology, change management, document design, ergonomics, information and communications technologies, e-learning and e-knowledge (including simulations and models). Past and current clients include government ministries and multinational corporations. Operational partners include Strategic Initiatives Inc (USA), ELGI (Italy) and 53K (UK). Through collaborative projects with major companies and universities, CCA's network of researchers and professional associates has broadened to include a wider range of academic disciplines (from science and technology to management). Likewise, CCA's relationships with clients have matured; they typically begin with specific tasks (eg, find and fix the cause of unacceptably high error rates) and then deepen into wider-ranging and longer-term activities, including advisory roles that involve the development of expeditionary strategies for clients, or helping clients to identify and implement new business models, especially in the context of the Knowledge Economy.
Key Competencies: change management, e-knowledge, opportunity analysis, dissemination, open innovation, roadmaps
Role in the Project: CCA leads the TARGET work package on dissemination and sustainability, previously led by Alfamicro. Its role includes appraisal of potentially shareable or exploitable outputs, and networking with prospective users and other interested parties (participation of the partner ended in 2011).
