This chapter focuses on system analysis as a potential tool for use in innovation networks whose purpose is to stimulate sustainable development in a particular sector. By looking at the system as a whole, researchers and project teams can isolate the systemic factors which might be a barrier to progress or provide a potential opportunity for desired change. On the basis of its use in a few case studies, we look at the problems and the potential of system analysis. We begin by outlining the reasons why system analysis might be relevant to innovation networks and the challenges that system analysis should address in this context. We discuss existing approaches for carrying out a system analysis and explain why we chose to use the Innovation System (IS) Framework developed by Klein Woolthuis and coworkers. We look at the differences between expert-led and collective analysis and along the way we identify possible improvements to system analysis based on our experiences in the case studies. We describe how, over time, the character of the analyses changed from mainly expert-led to entirely collective, while at the same time their quality and influence on the ongoing innovation process changed as well. We will look at how these changes are interrelated, and we will also look at the way system analysis itself can actually encourage learning. We conclude by suggesting that although the empirical evidence is still thin, the framework appears to be a good instrument to stimulate system learning, especially if it is used in a collective, cyclical, step-by-step analysis.
