Abstract
This research integrates systemic and participatory techniques to model the Russian Federation construction innovation system. Understanding this complex construction innovation system and determining the best levers for enhancing it require the dynamic modelling of a number of factors, such as flows of resources and activities, policies, uncertainty and time. To build the foundations for such a dynamic model, the employed study method utilised an integrated stakeholder-based participatory approach coupled with structural analysis (MICMAC—Matrice d'Impacts Croisés Multiplication Appliquée à un Classement Cross-Impact Matrix). This method identified the key factors of the Russian Federation construction innovation system, their causal relationship (i.e., influence/dependence map) and, ultimately, a causal loop diagram. The generated model reveals pathways to improving construction innovation in the Russian Federation and underpins the future development of an operationalised system dynamics model.

Summary
The construction industry has always been one of the most significant economic driving forces. It has been identified as an excessively conservative sector in relation to innovation implementation and diffusion. According to the previously conducted exploratory study of the authors [5], in the case of the Russian Federation, this problem is even more significant since it is a country spread across a massive territory with unique impediments to innovation diffusion. Despite continuous efforts of the government to support innovative activity, the Russian construction sector still faces impediments that hinder an increased rate of innovation activity. This prior study explored the present situation in the Russian construction
