| A critical component of the Continuous Improvement and Innovation (CI&I) process described in Paper 4 above is Performance Assessment - analysing and interpreting the results achieved, and not achieved, in relation to the focus and target outcomes. This is made easier if specific Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are established during Action Design and monitored during Action Implementation. The target outcome for the Measurement, Monitoring and Evaluation (MME) Strategy is to design and implement effective and efficient MME mechanisms that will demonstrate improvements and innovations in individual beef businesses and supply chains and in the broader Australian beef industry. |

| In the beef industry, as in many agricultural industries in Australia, there is a wealth of high quality capacity building available in topics such as animal breeding, nutrition, grazing land management, record keeping, property planning etc. However there are very few capacity building opportunities targeting (1) the higher level knowledge and skills needed to achieve both rapid and sustainable improvement and innovation, and (2) the knowledge and skills needed to lead and manage sustainable industry improvement and innovation. The BPP Capacity, Capability and Competency Strategy is designed to equip all BPP partners, teams and networkers with the knowledge, skills, resources and support to achieve and sustain beef business and industry improvement and... |

| In this paper the science underpinning the Beef Profit Partnerships project methodology is explained. The science is organised around headings associated with the six key elements of the project system model which was outlined in Paper 1 and is described in more detail in Paper 4. The headings are: (1) Focus, targets, outcomes and key measures; (2)Partnerships, networks, social infrastructure and social capital; (3) Technology and information – development, integration, valuation and diffusion; (4) Continuous improvement and innovation process and tools; (5) Capacity, tools and expertise; and (6) Momentum, culture development and institutionalisation. |

| The Reporting and Support Framework is an integral component of the Measuring, Monitoring and Evaluation (MME) strategy. This framework is designed to capture changes in practices, processes and outcomes in the CI&I partnerships and in beef businesses, partnerships, value chains and the broader Australian beef industry so as to provide support within the CI&I partnerships and to meet project and CRC reporting requirements. Because of the multiple users of the information, and the multiple environments in which it is expected to be used, the BPP reporting and support framework has been a difficult framework to develop. There have been several versions that have been adapted and improved over time, but we hope that it is now sufficiently flexible to... |

| Continuous improvement and continuous innovation are used in the service and manufacturing industries, but there is little evidence of their use in the beef production sector. This paper examines the evidence relating to Continuous Innovation and Continuous Improvement and describes a collaborative partnership approach to its implementation in the beef industry. The results indicate that using a facilitated network of businesses can increase the uptake of innovations and improvements in beef businesses. Results also indicate that there is a need to develop facilitators so that they are aware of the impact of innovations and improvements on business profitability and so they can assist managers and business owners to implement short term changes to the... |

| The purpose of the Project System Improvement and Innovation Strategy is to ensure regular and frequent improvement and innovation of the design, leadership and performance of the project system and its component elements, and to manage the interaction between the project system and the broader meta-system. The importance of this strategy has become more apparent over the past year. Initially it was treated as a 'supporting' strategy, but with time, recognition of its importance is growing. This strategy will require greater ingenuity and attention over the next two years to ensure project success, efficiency and sustainability. |

| In the Beef CRC, Sustainable Beef Profit Partnership (BPP) teams meet regularly to measure their current performance, set targets for future productivity increases, and use a profitability framework to assess the potential impact of improvements, innovations and new technologies in their beef businesses. Their decisions and actions are based on the Continuous Improvement and Innovation (CI&I) process. Capacity building and partnership outcomes are also assessed, and the BPP teams are supported with appropriate tools and resources. In this paper the achievements of the project to date are assessed against the project targets and issues in implementation of the project are discussed. |

| The Beef CRC's 'Sustainable Beef Profit Partnerships' (BPP) project is built around the Sustainable Improvement and Innovation (SI&I) Model – a model for the design, leadership and management of projects to achieve rapid and sustained improvement and innovation, and accelerated adoption. The model is implemented through a systemic approach to project design, and the development of a number of integrated strategies to guide the targeting of priority outcomes and work plans. The emphasis is on a sustainable project methodology such that the intended outcomes can continue to be delivered long after the Beef CRC funding is terminated. Further, there is an emphasis on rapid implementation of the process in the short-term such that outcomes can be generated... |

| Technology adoption in the Australian beef industry has been low and slow compared to that in the intensive livestock and cropping industries. Adoption needs to be higher and faster to fully capture the benefits from new beef genetic and other technologies. The principles of rapid improvement and innovation, and accelerated adoption, provide an innovative solution to this problem. In the Beef CRC, Sustainable Beef Profit Partnership (BPP) teams meet regularly to assess their current performance, set targets for future productivity increases, and use a profitability framework to assess the potential impact of new technology in their beef businesses. Their thinking, decisions and actions are based on the principles and process of Continuous Improvement and... |

| The theory and practice of sustainable improvement and innovation partnerships and networks design and management can be enhanced in agricultural industries. The BPP project can contribute to enhanced real-world practices, and the research and development of better mechanisms, for the design and management of innovation partnerships and networks. The Partnership and Network Strategy is designed to accelerate the rate, scale and impact of valuable improvements and innovations in the beef industry by involving key players in the industry and ensuring support for all partners. |
