Value-Driven Innovation and Foresight

Focus:

The Value-driven Innovation and Foresight group are based on how innovation is expressed from a value-creating service perspective. Groups' creativity, foresight as an innovation tool, broad involvement and inclusion in development processes, and democratization of innovation are central common focus areas. Preconditions for the understanding future needs are also included in the group's work, which makes open foresight together with the development of future business models into important areas. The group explores and applies Responsible research and Innovation (RRI), action research, and knowledge in collaboration.
