3.2 Three Levels of Detail and Three Stages of Use
The framework is designed to support the implementation and monitoring of an
effective Living Lab learning system, through its seven categories of data collection.
However, depending on the stage of the project or the user of the framework, they
may choose to engage with the framework on three different levels, and at three
different stages, the planning, monitoring, and review stages. These different levels
and stages are still under development, but recognize the various different needs
of different user groups, and how this might change throughout the lifetime of the
project. An outline of the three different Levels at which users can engage is given
below:
– Level 1: Overall data and basic information about the Living Lab. This assists
in the initial description of the Living Lab, including outlining of the ‘problem’
being addressed and the anticipated broad outcomes and user groups. This Level
relates to the early part of Stage 1, the Planning stage.
– Level 2: Detailed data. This refers to the collection of more precise information
and parameters for the project, including specific outcome metrics, and anticipated numbers from different stakeholder groups. This Level encourages more
detailed planning (Stage 1—Planning), and also more detailed monitoring (Stage
2) and review (Stage 3), considering a greater range of questions and more detailed
analysis.
