Challenge New challenges for rural areas require more
than ever effective diffusion of best practices Local knowledge ought to become global and
global knowledge local If rural Europe would know, what rural Europe
knows?!

Cooperation requires trust

Based on an Illustration by Covey, S. R. (2004)
Why isn’t cooperation easier?!

There are “wicked problems”
04/12/23 5© 2008-2009 FAS.research
“Wicked problems” Substantive uncertainty
– disagreement about the nature and the solution of the problem• improvement of regional competitiveness?• Sustainability?• rural quality of life?• diversification of rural economy?
– disagreement about the solution of the problem
Institutional uncertainty– involvement of many actors with different backgrounds
• High number of stakeholders with different interests• high number of value domains (“status-spheres”, mental models,, cultures)
– risk of clashes, high conflict costs between “experts”
Strategic uncertainty– anticipation on the behavior of others– low margins of influence for actors

The new network approach

How excellent networks look like from the perspective of social network analysis
04/12/23 11© 2008-2009 FAS.research
New ideas
Local Knowledge become global, global knowledge local
Flow
Bridging of clusters…
04/12/23 12© 2008-2009 FAS.research
Lack of connectivity
Self-locked mentalities
Reinventing the wheel
Zero-Sum Mentality
04/12/23 13© 2008-2009 FAS.research
Robustness and Trust
Common experiences and values and stories
Confirmation and Validation
Forces to synchronize
04/12/23 14© 2008-2009 FAS.research
Lack of critical mass Lack of
robustness and trust
No common culture and values
Sparks burn out without effects
04/12/23 15© 2008-2009 FAS.research
Diversity Different
attributes, different thoughts
Culture of managing imbalance
Culture of coalition building

Social network analysis and complexity theory has shown: networks of those who are sustainable capable to bring forth and integrate innovations show three features:
1. Robust clustering (triangles)
2. Connected clusters (no isolates)
3. Highly diverse clusters (different attributes)
The structure of innovation

How do we create excellent networks?
04/12/23 18© 2008-2009 FAS.research
Networks are about flows… Flows of goods, ideas, stories, resources… Flows require a gradient, a difference
– Problems and solutions– Questions and answers– Demand and offerings– Goals, challenges, visions, missions

What is networking?
Connect and explore new opportunities to create value.

3 steps in network building

3 types of networks

New culture of network governance
04/12/23 24© 2008-2009 FAS.research
Old hierarchy model New network modelCentralized decision making Decentralized solution seeking
Unity of command and control Unity of effort
Executive leadership Inspirational leadership
Alignment through central coordination
Alignment through focus and common purpose
Harmonization and Integration by rules
Convergence through goal seeking process
Execute plan Agility and adoptability
Hierarchical communication Horizontal communication
Exclude ambiguity Ambiguity as planning assumption
Coping with “wicked problems”

What are the alternatives?
04/12/23 © 2008-2009 FAS.research 26
Let’s work on a new culture of network governance to help rural
areas across Europe to thrive!
