[Fiware-boost-rural] IMPORTANT: Approach for Concept Section

[Juanjo Hierro]

Dear all,

   As explained in our last call, Gianluca Dianese will join us to 
assist in coordination of the writing of this proposal.   He will be 
focused on coordinating the edition of Sections 1 (now focused on 1.3) 
and 2.1.   Aberto will be focused in other parts, also helping to bring 
down to earth the description and the consortium behind each of the 
Initial Rural Region Pilot.

   Gianluca and I have been discussing how to structure section 1.3.1 
(Concept) to make the sale speech flow in a fluid and comprehensive 
manner.  After careful consideration, we will go for a simplification of 
the current approach as follows.

*In a first subsection*, we will first elaborate on the *impact 
dimensions* which will help to transform rural areas into better places 
to life (not just for people but for organizations/businesses, life = 
daily operations here).   The picture to be used here will be very 
similar to the one initially brought by Ditte.   It will be this one:

**


   We like this picture better because the three impact dimensions, 
named as in the picture above, work well not only for people but also 
for businesses.   In that respect, Society = people + 
organizations/businesses.

   Then we will explain that, in order to bring relevant impact in each 
of these three dimensions, a digital transformation needs to be 
implemented through a number of *Pillars**of Action (Action Pillar / 
Focus Areas)* which will be piloted in the project:

  * Public Services
  * Businesses of the Primary Sector
  * Businesses of the New Economy (targeted to sectors other than the
    Primary sector)
  * Sustainable and Clean Energy
  * Tourism


    The digital transformation en each action pillar will mean that for 
that pillar, the following "*transformations*" will be implemented:

  * *#Spaces* will be *re-visited*
  * *#Resources* will be *re-discovered*
  * *#Community* will be *reinforced*
  * *#Services* will be *re-invented*
  * *#Agencies* will be *revitalized*

   Each of these transformations will be enabled through deployment of 
digital platforms.   Despite we will elaborate on how digital platforms 
will enable each of these transformations within the section, let me 
illustrate this with some examples (not exhaustive, we have to work on 
this):

  * Spaces will be re-visited because they will be digitally augmented
    thanks to exploitation of context data which will be made available
    in right-time to applications.
  * Resources will be re-discovered because digital platforms will be
    able to make physical resources visible thanks to sensors deployed
    in the field.  Discovery services will be part of the platforms
    enabling resources to be discovered.
  * Services will be re-invented because they will not be only designed
    top-down.  Availability of data following standard data models and
    APIs will enable that entrepreneurs bring innovative services
    exploiting available data
  * Agencies will be re-vitalized as actors supporting the platforms
    making data available, also collaborating with agencies in other
    regions adopting platforms based on same standards towards raising
    funding for entrepreneurs building innovative services
  * etc

   Bottom line, we will explain that implementing a number of 
transformations through deployment of digital platforms in a selected 
number of Areas of Action, we will achieve the KPIs in the thre impact 
dimensions (economic, societal, environmental) that will characterize 
rural development of rural areas.

   This means that we will not longer have a 5x5x5 cube.  We would 
indeed have a 5x5x3 structure but that is fine.   Eventually, we may 
come with a different picture, we are considering to bring a "house of 
lean <https://www.google.com/search?q=house+of+lean>" kind of picture.   
Like the following:


   where:

  * The roof matches the triangle of impact dimensions: Economic,
    Social, Environmental
  * Each of the pillars match each of the Action Pillars defined
  * Digital Platforms will be providing the Foundation through which the
    mentioned transformations can be achieved


   Following this first subsection where we describe the overall 
concept, we will bring a sections structured into subsections, each one 
elaborating on the description of what we intend for one of the Action 
Pillars.   For each of these subsections, we will follow this script:

 1. Description of current challenges, pain points
 2. Description of how each of the transformations materializes
    concretely for the action pillar: e.g., when dealing with the Action
    Pillar linked to "Public Services" ... what it means that "spaces
    will be re-visited" or "Resources re-discovered", etc.
 3. Some example scenarios (linked to some of the Initial Rural Regions)

   We will take the text in the section that currently describes the 
Focus Areas (term to be replaced by Action Pillar) as basis but will try 
to adapt to the script above.

   Regarding point 2, we shall try to cover a description of how each of 
the transformations materialize in each of the action pillars, but 
perhaps we cannot be exhaustive.   We'll see as we go.


*  For all the above, it is **crucial**that representatives of each of 
the Initial Rural Regions provide the description of their pilots.   
Please try to bring this now.*

   Cheers,
