Inside the project
Focus
How can a university rebuild the connection between research and the sector?
The BÜYEM project focused on addressing the organization’s consulting needs within a university and ecosystem framework.
The gap between research and practice is closed through the right ecosystem design. This project was built around that design.
With Boğaziçi University (BÜYEM), with consulting by Ruhi Kaykayoğlu.
The weak link in university–sector relations was not knowledge transfer, but the two sides’ inability to establish a shared agenda.
Scope
We worked with the organization to facilitate the preparation and presentation of training projects for companies. We also provided facilitation support for the delivery of training in Kosovo, Senegal and Kuwait.
Implementation
HOW WAS ECOSYSTEM DESIGN USED IN THIS PROJECT?
We treated ecosystem design not as an organizational chart but as a system in which universities, businesses and entrepreneurs participate in a shared flow of value. TTO and technopark structures are nodes in this system.
A strong university does not just produce knowledge, but connects it to society’s future.
The journey we designed
- 01EXPLOREA situation map was developed by considering the organization's real needs, current ways of working and external signals together.
- 02REFRAMEThe real need behind the stated request was reframed in the context of the organization's strategy and ways of working.
- 03BRING IT INTO THE ORGANIZATIONThe framework was turned into a structure connected to the organization's decision-making and working rhythm.
Kaykayoğlu project insight
A university’s contribution to society is measured not by graduate numbers, but by where research turns into value.
