Management structure and procedures. The project management will ensure the best coordination of the project activities in accordance with planned times, objectives, roles and resources. The management structure and procedures aim: • to allow efficient decision making; • to ensure communication flow between participants and to European Commission; • to guarantee communication flow between I-KAM2EU activities and SME2EU activities; • to ensure the achievement of the target number of companies to serve; • to resolve any conflict that might arise within the project; • to ensure that the project is developed in accordance with the EC rules. Because of the relative simplicity of the project and its strict connection with the activities of EEN- SME2EU consortium, I-KAM2EU has a simplified management organisation that provides for the establishment of: • a Steering Committee • a Project manager European Commission The figure below summarizes the I-KAM2EU decision-making hierarchy Project Manager SME2EU project Steering Committee WP2 leader WP1 leader The internal communication flow is a few more complex: starting from the above schema, it has all those lines with double arrows, and the bidirectional interactions between work package leaders. The Steering Committee is in charge of the strategic management of the project and can be compared to the general assembly. It is the highest level of decision making within the project since it is the main consultative and coordination tool to address and discuss the operative and administrative issues of the project. In this function, the SC is in general responsible for the overall direction of the project, for taking major strategic decisions concerning the project and for the project implementation. SC will consist of one senior EEN representative from each consortium member. The Project Manager chairs SC meetings. Decisions by the Steering Committee are immediately enforceable. It shall meet at least twice a year in the context of the SME2EU meetings and/or interacting by mail, skype and/or teleconference. Extraordinary meetings are possible whenever the progress of the project demands such meetings to ensure achieving objectives. In particular, the SC is responsible for: • reviewing of the overall project’s progress; • making possible changes and adjustments in work packages, timelines, target distribution and budget allocations. The Steering Committee will be the organ in which to find consensus over the choice of SMEs to be selected within “Enhance innovation management capacity” service packages, and it will check if the recipient of KAM services be effectively in domain of beneficiaries of SME instrument.
