TY - JOUR T1 - How to Digitally Enhance Bioeconomy Collaboration: Multidisciplinary Research Team Ideation for Technology Innovation JF - Technology Innovation Management Review Y1 - 2020 A1 - Essi Ryymin A1 - Laura Lamberg A1 - Annukka Pakarinen KW - digitally enhanced teamwork KW - ideation KW - Multidisciplinarity KW - sustainability KW - technological innovation AB - In this paper we examine the potential of digital platforms for managing multidisciplinary collaboration and particularly the ideation processes of multidisciplinary research and development in the case of technology-supported vertical farming. The article draws on research data from semi-structured interviews and a collaborative workshop that was conducted with researchers representing biological, digital, and technological domains. The results of this research indicate that digital platforms may offer impactful, process-accelerating support during the kick-off phase of multidisciplinary technological innovations. A digital platform can support ideation and the prioritisation of ideas and can be especially fruitful when paired with face to face discussion and non-digital interaction.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - The Creativity Canvas: A Business Model for Knowledge and Idea Management JF - Technology Innovation Management Review Y1 - 2015 A1 - Raouf Naggar KW - business model KW - business model canvas KW - communities KW - creativity KW - ecosystem KW - ideas KW - knowledge KW - R&D KW - research institute KW - technological innovation AB - Innovation depends on ideas generated through creativity and the knowledge and research that make it possible to put ideas to work. However, these two activities are very dependent on the people who perform them. As demonstrated by a pilot project realized at Hydro-Québec’s research institute (IREQ), any approach that does not take this understanding into account is doomed to failure. This article proposes that what must be developed is a knowledge and idea management system designed as a coherent ecosystem that takes all controlling factors into account and is based on stakeholder interest and preferences. This ecosystem is the result of a meticulous design of each of the elements that must generally be taken into account in a business model. A business model approach includes not only developing a value proposition for knowledge and idea management that suits the target clientele but also a good understanding of the resources and activities required to deliver this value proposition and especially the ways to finance them. Key to the development of such an ecosystem is the creation of fully functional innovation communities, which are responsible for building up and nurturing their ideas and knowledge assets and getting value out of them.
