ACT-NOW! Join… “The Innovation Journey” Experience and ACCELERATE!


Dear all - this small poster is the first step towards our initial grant request for taking the Innovation Journey "on tour" with an aspired grand final at the London Shakespeare Globe Theater. Based off of this we are now starting to write the request, reflect on how to keep these Covid-secure plus understand the specific target groups of interest. More detailed feedback about the experience is now available at https://open-european-innovation-network.blogspot.com/2020/10/act-now-innovation-journey-inaugural.html. If you are interested in joining the proposal please let me know! 

Cheers and have a good start to the week! 

Oliver

Summer Update – Now earning a warm meal a day and suffering from indigestion!

Bild
  Hi everyone – greetings from the Open European Network for Enterprise Innovation team and perhaps a long-awaited update on where we have been, are and are going. We have admittedly been rather quiet over the past months – not for lack of having anything to share as you will see, but more from finally getting traction in a number of projects, commercializing enough to buy us a warm meal a day and realizing that we need to have small meals to prevent indigestion with ensuing frustration. So, what have been up to? Below a summary of ongoing activities and as ever, if you are interested in getting more engaged do reach out – enough exciting activities to join! Besides the below there is a wide spectrum of funding proposals we are working on. Horizon Europe and the Eureka program are offering many great opportunities, and our emerging commercial model of “appreciation” fees plus work-package reservation and success “commission” is being warmly received. With a bit of luck we will ...

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...

Design Principle #3 for 84% Innovation Adoption – Degree of Innovativeness

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”...
