NCHRP 20-68C: Innovation Networks Research Questions: How do DOTs learn about and implement innovations; how do we compare with others; can we do better? Is the NCHRP Domestic Scan Program cost-effective; how can we do better? What can we learn about what factors encourage innovation awareness and implementation? Networks and Relationships Innovation Awareness Innovation Initiation Successful Implementation. DOT Effectiveness Organizational and Individual Factors, e.g., Culture, personality National Cooperative Highway Research Program Andrew C. Lemer, SPO 15
