Agenda för rundabordssamtalet (09:30-12:30) Välkommen (Vinnova och Birgitta Ornbrant/REK) REK introducerar Rainova-projektet- en Innovationsmodell ur ett regionalt perspektiv med koppling mellan utbildning och SME (Christina Haggren, Torbjörn Skarin) Hur skapar man hållbara innovationsmodeller, livet efter projektet Rainova ( Kennet Lindkvist, STPKC) Kort om några intressanta projekt ( Kennet Lindkvist, STPKC) Samt gemensam diskussion under och mellan punkterna samt möjlighet till kortare presentationer/inlägg

Projektets målgrupper: Småföretag 0-49 anställda Yrkes- och vuxenutbildare Regionala utvecklingsaktörer Projektets övergripande mål: Bättre matchning mellan småföretagens behov och utbildningssystemet

Aktiviteter: Studera regionala förutsättningar i 9 länder Utveckla modell för innovationsledning Testa i liten skala Utveckla och stödja regionala nätverk Främja regionala innovationssystem

WHY DO WE THINK A NEW MODEL IS NEEDED? Because innovation, is not only matter of big business Because existing models are very theorical and complicated, especially for small organizations Because a simple and a practical way of understanding innovation is possible Because we believe that a regional perspective adds value to the model

IN WHICH WAY WILL OUR MODEL BE DIFFERENT? Simple Understandable Take into account the views and need of small and medium organizations Easy to be applied Giving guidance, methodologies, tools and resources to be applied … In short, not only to propose what to do, but how

WHAT DO WE UNDERSTAND BY MANAGEMENT INNOVATION? The focus of innovation management is to allow the organization to respond to an external or internal opportunity, and use its creative efforts to introduce new ideas, processes or products. To manage activities that permit obtain, in a continuously way, new ideas, processes and products. To get that, it’s also necessary to create an organizational environment, a context which permit to release the creativity and the innovative capacity of the personnel.

WHAT IS THE INITIAL HYPOTHESYS ABOUT INNOVATION?  All kind of organization can be innovative  Being aware about what is happening  Using this information to develop new ideas, processes and products (normally through the development of innovation projects,…)  Adding value to the customers in a continuous way  Designing an open organization  Getting employees that think beyond organizational limits

WHICH ARE THE PARTS/ELEMENTS THAT MAKE UP A MANAGEMENT MODEL? Routines / processes Culture of innovation A global vision of the said elements A accurate knowledge about the relations existing among them A way to assess the innovation level of an organization A way to measure the results of the efforts done in the innovation activities

(Regional) INNOVATION SYSTEM: The concept of the innovation system stresses that the flow of technology and information among people, enterprises and institutions is key to an innovative process. It contains the interaction between the actors who are needed in order to turn an idea into a process, product or service on the market.
