Abstract

Emerging technologies have increased the potential of cascading effects of technology-driven disruptions at the organizational and societal levels. The innovation funding of the European Commission aims to establish a European cybersecurity market (Aaltola and Ruoslahti 2020), increase European self-sufficiency and efforts to protect European citizens. While political priorities aim to strengthen ethics, trust, security (Malatras and Dede 2020) and fight against cybercrime (Prime Minister’s Office 2016), the cybersecurity Research, Development and Innovation (RDI) establishments must show the evidence of increased capabilities, fostered markets and competences (Commission 2020). Even with the successful practices of sharing cybersecurity awareness, there is potential to fail to understanding how European cybersecurity RDI activities impact and effect society and its citizens (Bradshaw 2018). This research presents knowledge management framework and related toolkit of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): Framework for Societal Impact Assessment for Network Projects. This paper includes a literature review of societal and knowledge management approaches relevant to analyze the societal effects of a network innovation projects. Moreover, we elaborate the elements for the framework presented earlier (Aaltola and Ruoslahti 2020) with a data analysis of selected network projects’ KPIs to collect proof that demonstrates the impacts achieved by the selected activities at the societal level.
