Cast of "The Innovation Journey"


First efforts are slowly underway to write the script of our 45 minute “Play in a Day” interactive actor directed play in five acts for all ages. The script will also act as the structure for the training programme at events (see COST proposal).
 
This post introduces the cast of characters which will be assumed by participants and also mirror the roles in the innovation webs we have discussed previously. There may well be changes moving forward as the script evolves, however if you would like to apply / audition for a role let us know :)


Future posts will start sharing the details of the script as they emerge.


The "Play in a Day" format is getting some good resonance and is well suited for letting participants experience the journey of innovation - there are a few indications of first events being possible and let us know if you are interested in organizing a performance wherever you are.
 
Cast of Characters
  • Innovator(s): One or more persons who have a “really really” good idea.
  • User(s): One or more persons who use the “really really” good idea.
  • Marketeer(s): One or more persons who develop commercial opportunities for the “really really” good idea.
  • Funder(s): One or more persons who provide the funding for commercializing the “really really” good idea.
  • Buyers(s): One or more persons who spend the budget for commercialize the “really really” good idea.
  • Commercializer(s): One or more persons who ensure the budget for commercializing the “really really” good idea is spent in a compliant manner.
  • Product Packager(s): One or more persons who transform the “really really” good idea into a commercially viable product.
  • Research Tribe: The tribe of innovator(s) and user(s) who experiment with the “really really” good idea to understand its value proposition.
  • Socialization Tribe: The tribe of innovator(s), user(s), marketeer(s) and product packager(s) who mature the value proposition of the “really really” good idea.
  • Market Validation Tribe: The tribe of innovator(s), user(s), marketeer(s), product packager(s), buyer(s), funder(s) and commercializer(s) who validate the value proposition of the “really really” good idea in wider practice.
  • Commercialization Tribe: The tribe of innovator(s), user(s), marketeer(s), product packager(s), buyer(s), funder(s) and commercializer(s) who enable diffusion of the “really really” good idea to market saturation.
  • Web Weaver(s): One or more persons who continuously weave the web of relationships between participants assuming one or more roles in order to keep them energized and the tribes operating effectively.

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...
