My new book helps research projects communicate

I am writing a book. This will be number 12 (or 11, depending on how you count), and I would like your feedback. The book will be based on my experiences from many years of research projects, all of whom have had the same problems: When it came to "dissemination and exploitation", they fell flat on their faces.
The book was triggered by the EU requiring more exploitation from research projects in FP7, a consequence of the politicians (finally!) recognizing that research is nice and fun to do, but it does not add value unless it turns the innovations of the project to innovaions.
Here is the table of contents, I will come back with more as it crystallizes. If you have an opinion, please post it as a comment, and I will include it in the work (with credits), and/or respond as the matter requires.
Here is what it looks like now:
Preface 2
Chapter 1: How to communicate innovations 4
Chapter 2: The role of the innovation communicator 7
Chapter 3: Innovation communication in the EU 7th Framework 11
Chapter 4: Using the communications toolbox 27

Chapter 20: Measuring your exploitation 134

What is missing, what should be more stressed? Looking forward to your feedback!
