Dear all – the initial Litmus Test version at https://innovation-web.eu/litmus-test is now being refined for release in early April. Any thoughts and comments appreciated as we try to move to a quick and pragmatic tool that can help a wide variety of stakeholders with “skin in the game” for diffusing innovation rapidly from ideation to market saturation. The image shows the helicopter from the famous television series M*A*S*H to illustrate the underlying principles of urgency under difficult conditions. Revised test: The purpose of the test is to help you innovate successfully and rapidly from ideation to market saturation. This questionnaire is used to structure an interview with a qualified ENTOV-HVM facilitator. If you are taking it without guidance please review the following detailed instruction (to be defined) . In order to use this tool effectively you should have a good grasp on the “idea” you wish to explore. “Good” ideas are typically well-defined products / se...

ENTOV-HVM aspires to provide a series of stackable Masters-level certificate courses delivered purely online with a duration of six weeks each that aim for joint-accreditation by several university partners. Each course will be accredited for 2-3 ECTS and the overall program will be designed for 60 ECTS potentially leading to a joint-accredited Erasmus Mundus Master of Arts degree. All courses are accompanied by relevant multi-media materials (i.e. videos and podcast) plus be subject to a robust “ever-greening” process enabling bi-annual revisions based upon research development and delivery experience. The completion of a course by participants is structured for six weeks with a weekly asynchronous workload of 10 hours and a weekly synchronous (weekly calls) workload of 2 hours. Courses are launched in cohorts of at least 20 participants. Development of the courses is ongoing as resources are available and aims to accelerate as part of the ECARDINALE proposal. Accelerated develop...
