THE
STORY
OF
Overview
This workshop was set up to engage the Aerospace SME and Primes community in and around Copenhagen with the intention of stimulating communication, knowledge sharing, collaboration and the co-creation of creative ideas while building awareness of our SME-AERO-POWER project and the approach we are taking.
We ran the event on a Thursday from 09:30 – 16:00 which proved quite a hurdle to get attendees to give up their time, and trust that the experience would be worthwhile.
The event was advertised on Eventbrite, Twitter, Facebook and across various related LinkedIn Groups together with many personal approaches to individuals we thought should attend.
What follows is a brief summary of the event...

What is
Open Innovation?
Networking part 1, At your table, take 5 minutes to discuss this question - then I will collect some answers . .
Asked as a question for brief discussion in pairs, then ideas collected and written down by facilitator, to illustrate a more traditional approach to facilitation.

What is Open Innovation?
7
What has been your experience when trying to cooperate or
partner with another company?
ANECDOTE CIRCLE - This is another way to network with people at your table, to answer this question . .
Anecdote Circles are a Cognitive Edge method http://cognitive-edge.com/library/methods/anecdote-circles/
8
Two groups of six share their stories
9
Title (blue) and each individual's perspective on that story (white) are captured
10
An example of one story
11
Titles are removed. Cards are shuffled. Patterns emerge as themes, which are then named.
12
Examples of themes – contextualised by the white perspectives.
These themes are emergent and contextualised by the white perspectives.
They help define and make sense of the Innovation Ecosystem being explored
13
Emergent Themes – River Diagram
Using the emergent themes from the anecdote circle the group plotted where they thought Denmark/Copenhagen was today for each on a scale of 0 – 10.

COLLABORATING
COLLABORATION &
INNOVATIVE THINKING
- collaborating is more than networking: it involves doing something together and demands a degree of trust
- this first technique is called SpeedStorming: how to find a number of opportunities for innovation in a short time by sharing ideas with other people
15
2 x twenty five minute sessions in pairs, looking for collaborative opportunities
Each person briefly explains what they bring and what they are interested in
then the pair look to combine these interests and expertise to 'co-create'
something new.

COLLABORATING
INNOVATION
BOOSTING
- takes a good idea and accelerates the process of finding out how to turn it into reality
- Innovation Boosting takes some time, so today we can only start the process by using a small number of techniques

“I think the event was rather interesting and a new way of swapping ideas that I as an industrial designer was quite inspired by.
I have participated in quite a lot of workshops , but this was one of the better.”
