our
analysis
we
assigned
numerical
values
(1
to
5)
to
responses:
low
numbers
indicated
disagreement,
and
high
numbers
agreement;
“I
don’t
know”
was
given
a
non-‐numeric
response.
Fig.
1
reflects
the
mean
level
of
agreement
regarding
where
the
forest
sector
should
focus
its
innovation
efforts
over
the
next
20
years.
Overall,
respondents
indicated
building
systems
was
the
topic
that
should
receive
the
most
attention,
but
that
forest
management,
construction
materials,
and
production
processes
were
assessed
similarly.
Paper
products
received
the
lowest
level
of
agreement
for
any
of
the
topics,
but
respondents
agreed
innovation
in
all
areas
should
receive
some
degree
of
focus
over
the
next
20
years.
Nanocellulose
was
the
only
topic
to
elicit
a
significant
number
of
“I
don’t
know”
responses
(n=12
or
24
%
of
respondents;
0
%
to
4
%
of
respondents
selected
“I
don’t
know”
for
other
categories).

Respondents
generally
agreed
that
building
systems
from
wood
was
the
area
that
companies
have
produced
the
most
significant
innovation
since
the
year
2000,
while
innovation
in
branding
had
the
lowest
agreement
level.
However,
respondents
indicated
a
large
knowledge
gap
about
the
level
of
innovation
in
the
forest
sector
as
many
respondents
(between
10
%
and
32
%)
selected
“I
don’t
know”;
the
greatest
knowledge
gap
was
related
to
nanocelluose.
