What does a "Hop On Hop Off" Project Look Like?

As ENTOV-HVM slowly "takes off" one of the interesting questions is how do we design a "project" so that participants can "hop on hop off" as they are available? A typical project is defined by not only time and budget, but also by resources which seems to contradict allowing participants to freely come and go?
The answer may well lie in the role based approach which states that in order to succeed a project needs a minimum number of roles which are populated by a minimum number of participants which may change (while the role remains stable). Image of a "hop on hop off" bus from London (see https://www.musement.com/de/london/london-hop-on-hop-off-bustouren-v/).

So far the intent, however unclear remains how this maps into any legal and commercial agreements that will be required from stakeholders providing funding - for the "hop on hop off" participants this should not be an issue, but for the "bus driver"? No solutions to date, yet I suspect the answer will be dependent on shaping workpackages that are consumable in a "hop on hop off" context AND ensuring that at least the bus driver feels bound to a longer commitment!

Accelerating the Diffusion of Green Hydrogen Solutions - Introducing an Innovative Masters Thesis

Bild
The Open European Network for Enterprise Innovation is supporting an innovative Masters Thesis being conducted at the Technical University of LIsbon by a great young colleague  Lourenço Horta Correia. Please see below for more information and do feel free to reach out to him if you have ideas / can support his efforts with case studies. The image shows the first sketches of supply chain pathways and will be extended continuously to illustrate existing and planned pathways with their relevant diffusion performance and innovation opportunities. The world is facing unprecedented challenges regarding climate change and Green House Gases (GHG) emissions and the European Union is responding to these issues setting an ambitious yet attainable action plan for a systematic transformation towards a carbon-neutral continent by 2050. Green Hydrogen – meaning hydrogen produced from renewable energies – will be a major player for a sustainable energy transition as an energy carrier with numerous...

Design Principle #4 for 84% Innovation Adoption – Technology Readiness Level

Bild
This series of blog posts describes the principles relevant for designing an innovation for rapid adoption by 84% of a target group. 84% adoption is the threshold for achieving sustainable change. The underlying theory stems from the "invisible college" around Rogers, E.M. (2003) “Diffusion of Innovations.” which reminds us that adopters are grouped as Innovators 2%, Early Adopters 14%, Early Majority 34%, Late Majority 34% and Laggards 16%. Designing innovations (and the change intended by them) to reach the Late Majority is a very different game than that typically "played" (which actually only focuses on the Innovators and Early Adopters). Such "designs" depend on understanding our own body of work which skilfully integrates systems thinking, living systems principles, complexity thinking etc. None of the design principles we will discuss are “innovative” – it their blending and orchestration to achieve 84% adoption that is the art of “deep diffusion”...

Forecasting Whole Life Cycle Cost Uncertainty of EU Municipalities - Consolidator/Marie Curie Proposals

Bild
T ogether with Lisbon University Instituto Superior Técnico Department of Civil Engineering and relevant research team (to be determined), we will be preparing an ERC Consolidator grant request for submission in mid-October 2021 with funding decision expected in March 2022 (see https://erc.europa.eu/news/calls-2022-tentative-dates ). This proposal will include one or more post-doctoral positions for which we will set up individual / parallel Marie Skłodowska-Curie European Fellowship applications (see https://ec.europa.eu/research/mariecurieactions/actions/individual-fellowships_en and https://ec.europa.eu/research/mariecurieactions/actions/get-funding_en ). Title: “A Framework for Forecasting Whole Life Cycle Cost Uncertainty of EU Municipalities” Abstract: “Directly and indirectly people and societies task nations and cities to aspire to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. A primary challenge on this journey is forecasting the related whole life cycle costs as robustly as poss...
