Overview: now - then

Short description about your challanges which hinder respectively make the implementation of eco friendly actions difficult:

*) xxxxx*) xxxxx*) xxxxx*) xxxxx*) xxxxx

our solution

A common search tool (My eco-expert) will be used to strengthen transparency regarding

- qualification,- experience, - competence and - licensees of all consultants

The target is to light out the funding jungle

Our current situation• Each eco-funding scheme in Lower Austria manages its own pool of experts (often the same persons) and wants to keep control. • There is a lack of cooperation between the eco-funding institutions.• There are already existing search tools but with specific needs for specific institutions – • The tools are used only by one organisation.• Finding the appropriate external eco-expert or eco-funding scheme is not easy enough

My eco-expert Key words as answers are enough….

What is it about A common search tool for eco-experts of all consultancy programmes in the region. (My eco-expert)

What do you expect to achieve?

• Easier access to expertise• More funding cases• More transperancy on the quality of the consultancy• Improve the cooperation of ALL initiatives supporting eco-

management and eco-innovation in Lower Austria• Improve the transparency and service for the clients

Indicators you expect to achieve?

• Higher number of funded projects• Better image of the funding institutions• More and better cooperation between funding organisations• Increasing quality of the external experts and funded projects via

transparency (feedback, evaluation, reports)

Has someone already tested the practice / idea? If yes, who & where & when?

The idea is new to most funding organisations – only one organisation is using a search tool. The technique is not new, but the trans-organisational use of a search tool is unique

Is it easy to implement? Please explain why or why not

The technique and data are available. It just depends on the cooperational will of the stakeholders. This will should be guaranteed by the RIP.

Stakeholder B Energie und Umweltagentur NÖ eNuEnergy Agency Lower AustriaHubert FragnerHead department for communities


*) Environmental consulting support for public organisations


*) Creating a one-stop-shop for eco-management funding projects in Lower AustriaHigher cooperation between the institutions


*) They support the cooperation, but do not see so much need that the expert needs to be selected by the client. They still prefer to assign an expert. But this is according to competition regulations not possible anymore. So we are sure to convince them.

STAKEHOLDER C

Stakeholder C Lower Austrian Regional government,Office Department of economy, tourism and technologyDoris MayerResponsible for sustainability programmes


*) This department is responsible for all economic funding schemes.The ecological funding schemes for companies are therefore a crosscutting issue which will need to be addressed by both departments.


*) Creating a one-stop-shop for eco-management funding projects in Lower Austria


*) This department will support the RIP, however they are also responsible for the restructuring of Ökomanagement NÖ.

Realisation of My eco-Expert

Ökomanagement supports the transperant

selection of experts

Eco-experts will support the creation of one singe

search tool.

The federal gov. supports clear and transperant criteria for

eco-experts

Eco-experts will fear the additional work in providing the requested information.

Opposition in the own department because they want to keep controle of

their expert pool.

Yellow circles: supportRed circles: obstacles

Please state in key words which main support and main obstacles /threats/ difficulties you are expecting to face when establishing the RIP in your region.

Chamber of commerce will see it as competition

24th Oct 2013

our solution

Pilot innovation voucher scheme (broad preferences)

Verification, feed back collection, raising awareness on +‘s of the tool

Scheme adjustment – „eco“ aspect (preference x special call)
