Planned approach and implementation

ACS´s general working method is based on the so-called "Cooperation ladder". The ladder is an important tool to have a greater effect than the sum of the organizations involved.The staircase is inspired by Communication for innovation-driven growth written by Arne Eriksson. The project is made up of six work packages, one of which is of an administrative nature and contains project management, project administration and communication. The five other work packages have their specific purpose and goals to lift participating companies and organizations up the collaboration ladder.
