A tool for monitoring and tracking advisory activities

This tool can be to put in use by innovation support services providers directly through the excel format in annex III or maybe through an app for mobile/computer. The last could help prompt collection of data at field level and interconnection with other datasets (e.g., monitoring systems of CAP Strategic plans or of advisory organizations), through adding relevant information to monitoring and evaluation systems of advisory services. It is aimed both at individual and organized/associated advisors and policy makers. Advisors could use it for keeping track of the outputs of their advisory activities in the domain of interactive support services, evaluate the effects at end-user level and connect them to their competences and knowledge gaps in the specific field. The tool allows envisaging expected categories of outputs/results in relation to the predefined activities and business processes and this makes it being utilizable as a predictive tool to help decision making along the innovation spiral.
