Guests:

Jesper Hyhne, Editor, P1 Morgen, DR / LAICS alumnus 2008

Purpose:

There are many innovative approaches to business development. In order to be

able to turn a given approach into value for the company, we will explore the

creation of new business ventures and new business models. We will look at the

challenge of developing the business plan and how to take it through the

organisation to implementation. The seminar blends theory and practice, lectures

and exercises, individual process with group process, and none the least the

process itself, from finding your own sweet spot, to developing your own business

venture and business plan, drawing on theory in practice.

Upon completion of this seminar the participant will be able to:

Purpose:

How can we create well organised innovation environments that build positive

energy and social well-being? We will examine mental and physical spaces for

innovation both in relation to individual and team processes – and we will

investigate the connection between the two: How does physical space affect mental

processes – and vice versa? How can model making, prototyping and sketching

support imagination, ideation, communication and innovation?


demonstrate understanding and insight into the impact of the mental space and

physical environment on creativity, innovation and leadership.

Students are asked to bring one or several images of ‘inspirational innovation

spaces’: Spaces they imagine, spaces they know and have access to, spaces

they have seen or heard of, spaces where they have had their best innovation

experiences. These images will be used on the first day of the seminar, so make

sure to print them before travelling.

Students are invited to present a total of 4 cases - preferably upcoming projects

in the students’ organizations, which we can use in a team exercise. The focus

will be on how to transform the physical environment into a tool to influence

and support the desired behaviour and attitude. It would be helpful if the

students, who have upcoming projects, could write a short project description,

½-1 page and send it to (Lotte or/and Hilde) by March 20.
