Big Challenges of our Democracies

•  Transparency and trust on the poli8cal system •  Trust in the public administra8on •  Ci8zens mass par8cipa8on •  Behaviour transforma8on •  Sense of belonging and iden8ty •  Social inclusion and social integra8on •  Crisis of the world financial system •  World stability



Sustainable Solu8ons •  Wicked problems call for diverse types of knowledge,

resource, par8cipa8on and collabora8on. •  Behaviour change requires the mo8va8on of millions of

individuals and their communi8es; solu8ons cannot be pushed.

•  New, distributed and highly par8cipatory systems imply new roles for public and private spheres: demand/user/ci8zen driven open RDI enabled by ICT.



Living Labs Open eco-‐systems engage and mo8vate

stakeholders, s8mulate collabora8on, create lead markets and enable behavior transforma8on

Living Labs Living Labs are user-‐driven innova8on eco-‐systems where the user (ci8zen, resident, worker, student, visitor, customer) lives, works, studies, plays and entertains. In this real living environment, the user co-‐creates, experiments and tests ideas, products and services. User-‐centric solu8ons and social innova8on processes lead to new forms of produc8vity and compe88veness as well as sustainable behavior transforma8on.



Living Lab Ecosystem



Co-‐crea8on of Innova8on



Source: Form It

What is to be gained from user-‐involvement?

• Discovering what users want and need. Source of new ideas. Innova8on by design thinking.

• User priori8es – What mo8vates them? • Discovering unexpressed needs • Experiment ideas, services, concepts, products. Speeding up

acceptance • Users engagement. Sustainability of users community. Earlier

adopters. Speeding up acceptance.The users do the selling. • Sustainable behaviour transforma8on



Living Lab Methodologies •  Increased collabora8on between public authori8es, research centers, businesses

and user communi8es. Sharing good prac8ces •  Flexible and adap8ve design process rooted in real-‐life experience with increased

chances of succeeding with new products. Shorter lead 8me from concept to market (promote viral adop8on)

•  Befer and more intensive use of internal ideas. Befer access to ideas outside the organiza8on.

•  Accelera8on of innova8on. Increased produc8vity of the RDI ac8vi8es. Includes wider socio-‐economic and socio-‐ins8tu8onal factors, enablers of sustainable development. Co-‐crea8on methodologies and tools.

•  Not only the “immediate” or direct factors, rela8onships, func8onali8es or impacts of the “object” under LL-‐experimental RDI, but indirect impacts, externali8es and poten8al side effects.

•  Improved coopera8on in Interna8onal Networks. Facilitate the interna8onal posi8oning and privileged access to the markets.

•  Facilitate the development of human capital and culture sustainability 11 May 2011, Gaborone InternaAonal ConvenAon Centre, Botswana IST-‐Africa
