State of the Future: Innovation Webs


This blog post is a draft response to “Section 1 Soundness of the Challenge / Section 1.2 Progress Beyond the State of the Art / Section 1.2.1 Approach to the Challenges and Progress beyond the State of the Art” in the technical annex of the planned COST 2019 Open Call Proposal Reference: OC-2019-1-23678 "Open European Network for Enterprise Innovation in High Value Manufacturing (ENTOV-HVM)". The image shows the logo of the effort which consists of overlapping spaces for each archetypal role of the innovation web and a central Lotus flower in tribute to the concept / paradigm of Lotus Innovation put forward by Debra Mae Amidon (see http://entovation.com/lotus-innovation/).

Compared to current concepts of technology innovation accelerator policies, procedures, process and organizations, ENTOV-HVM is unique and beyond state-of-the art due to its focus on (a) weaving unique and customized innovation webs for each (group of) ideas, (b) populating the most relevant roles of Innovator, Product Packager, User, Marketeer, Buyer, Funder and Commercializer with the optimal organizational and individual participants (c) providing high end no-/low-cost simulation resources, and (d) complementary mentorship of young researchers through seasoned manufacturing enterprise experts. The mentorship component focuses on enabling the young researcher / innovators to perform robust industry quality simulation of their manufacturing innovations within industrial organizations. This combination helps create a sustainable innovation zone bridging the gap between the ideation and adoption phases of the innovation process. ENTOV-HVM furthermore contributes to the exchange of relevant information, identify synergies and pursue common research activities regarding the optimization of its approach to enable scaling and templating, therefore reinforcing the strength of the webs of relationships built and the leadership of Europe in this field.

While the network will also provide and socialize an open scalable online “matchmaking” platform for populating roles and weaving webs, the emphasis lies on face-to-face / live “web weaving” events delivered through scientific missions where a small number of ideas and interested role participants are brought together to enable collaborative innovation. ENTOV-HVM intensively supports, mentors, guides and facilitates all participants through all stages of the innovation process.

The next posting will address the planned research and capacity building objectives.

Roundtable “Improving City Cybersecurity – Accelerating the Sharing of Sensitive Personal Knowledge “- April 21 at 4PM CET

Bild
Dear all, In collaboration with Major Cities of Europe ( https://www.majorcities.eu/ )  this round table  will give us the opportunity for sharing examples on how we could collaboratively change the paradigm about on how to manage cybersecurity threats in a dynamic and effective way. Please contact me at oliver.schwabe@innovation-web.eu if you are interested in participating and I will forward the invite. Background: Daily news about cyberattacks around the world show that City administrations are sensitive targets of phishing, ransomware, malicious viruses etc.  Attacks occur to all our IT systems, sometimes without even us noticing. Managing those threats by being ready to prevent them is a major challenge. Technology solutions, CISOs security officers, national and international official initiatives are essential but not enough. Many CIOs, especially medium / small cities, feel alone in managing these overwhelming issues. Often these attacks succeed with heavy consequences but very

Knowledge Alliance Proposal: WP 9 Create and Pilot Curriculum

Bild
Dear all - this is the close to final version of work package 9 for our Knowledge Alliance proposal. The work package is focused on creating and piloting a curriculum to address skills gaps giving rise to our proposal in the first place, therefore the lack of understanding related to accelerating the diffusion of innovation from ideation to market saturation in high value manufacturing. The ultimate goal is an Erasmus Mundus Joint Accredited Masters program - the most recent selection of such can be found at  https://eeas.europa.eu/headquarters/headquarters-homepage/65938/erasmus-has-selected-44-new-erasmus-mundus-joint-master-degree-programmes_en  and that is also where the image comes from. Description This implementation work package creates and pilots a career framework as a specialisation of the “Responsible and Flexible Career Development Framework for Researchers” focussed on the acceleration of the diffusion of innovation (eco-systems) from ideation to market satura
