Abstract
The paper reports from an ongoing Danish development programme
entitled "Process and Product Development in the Building
Industry". The programme is a joint initiatvie, initiated by the
Ministry of Housing and Building and the Ministry of Busines and
Industry. In a competition in 1994 four consortia representing
actors of the whole value chain were chosen to carry out
innovation projects during a 4-year period, including experimental
building projects. The paper describes the programme with respect
to its background and organisation, the basic development ideas of
the four consortia and the characteristics of the innovation
projects. A midway status is given with special attention to
factors that seem to have a significant effect on the innovation
process in either a positive or negative way, including lessons
learned from the selection of consortium partners and problems of
collaboration in the consortia.Keywords: R&D programme,
innovation, experimental building projects, consortia.
