TED es un evento anual en el que los líderes mundiales del pensamiento y la acción comparten sus pasiones. TED es el acrónimo de Tecnología, Entretenimiento y Diseño, tres grandes áreas que, colectivamente, están definiendo nuestro futuro. Entre los conferenciantes que han pasado por el evento figuran Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Frank Gehry, Paul Simon, Sir Richard Branson, Philippe Starck y Bono. TED se celebró por primera vez en Monterey, California, en 1984. En 2001, la Sapling Foundation presidida por Chris Anderson adquirió TED a su fundador, Richard Saul Wurman.

How can we create video-based interventions for and with people living with i...Ann Davidson
This communication will focus on the results of the data collection activities we conducted during a collaborative action-research day with a group of people with intellectual disabilities. Precisely, we will present results from two highly collaborative techniques we used to conduct focus groups in the context of the Vid-Ability project. The Vid-Ability project aimed to use instructional videos and mobile technologies to help people with intellectual disabilities develop abilities to become autonomous. A group of five people with intellectual disabilities used instructional videos on iPods for a duration of 12 weeks, to try to develop the abilities needed for autonomous living such as cooking, using a stove, using a washing machine and keeping oneself safe. We will present the results emerging from these two activities in addition to commenting on the process of conducting these two activities and the positive impressions the group was left with.
This document proposes a business concept called Eco Landmarks that uses collaborative networking to transform UNESCO World Heritage sites into models of sustainable development. Groups would use a smartphone/tablet application to collectively redesign a site according to sustainability parameters over two years. This would raise awareness of sustainability issues while also providing an opportunity for investors. The concept aims to professionalize sustainability promotion by treating it as a business rather than a volunteer effort alone. Examples of the Acropolis and Eiffel Tower redeveloped sustainably are provided as proofs of concept. Startup funding of 50,000 euros is requested to further develop prototypes and market experiments.
This document discusses lessons learned from co-creation projects. It begins by describing how co-creation processes can erode over time if not properly managed. Input and problem setting are emphasized as being more important than just problem solving. Team composition is also important and should involve diverse stakeholders throughout the process. Ownership of the project is also key, and efforts must be made to maintain ownership from all parties. Ultimately, landing in the wrong place means a project failed to create the necessary ownership from stakeholders to see it through successfully.
1. The Luxembourgish ALE visioning think tank met on April 26th 2011 to discuss establishing an ALE network. They invited agile groups, project managers, lean thinkers and coaches from Luxembourg to participate.
2. Seven early adopters of ALE in Luxembourg attended the workshop, which used service design techniques and a serious game format to generate ideas.
3. Key ideas that emerged were for ALE to be an open federation that brings together European agile and lean organizations through shared events and a centralized portal for documentation, with a focus on improving processes through an "improvers network".

3. Copyright guidelines are discussed regarding using content found online or created by others in digital stories.
Five tips for implementing social software in your libraryRob Coers
The document provides five tips for libraries to start implementing social software despite common objections. The tips are to 1) provide training to staff on social software, 2) focus on early adopters to guide others, 3) measure participation over financial returns, 4) work with IT staff who may not understand social software, and 5) start small prototypes without permission to prove benefits to users. The document advocates for libraries to overcome fears and try social software.

CLICKNL DRIVE 2018 | 24 OCT | Probing Emerging FuturesCLICKNL
This document summarizes a panel discussion on emerging futures between representatives from Philips Design, TU/e, Design Academy, and an experimental designer. The panel members presented on topics including rethinking value in light of climate change, the proposition that humans must realize we are part of nature's ecosystem, using design fiction to explore potential futures, and the need for interdisciplinary collaboration between design, engineering, and philosophy to stimulate ethical reflection on technologies. During the discussion, points were made about using potential future designs to reflect on technology's relationship with ethics, the need for intense collaboration across disciplines to debate ethics, considering robotics' development in the context of human and natural ecosystems, and using poetry to move beyond Western reductionism.

The document discusses an international cross-cluster project ecosystem called ClusteriX that aims to boost business development and innovation. ClusteriX is an EU-funded partnership between 9 organizations from 8 countries that facilitates the exchange of experiences between innovation clusters. The presentation describes how ClusteriX and other projects help connect clusters, drive internationalization, and transition projects from one funding program to another to ensure sustainability. It also notes the need for a new living lab pilot project focused on media and creativity to test solutions and drive user-centered innovation.
This Consultation Paper and its Report on Initial Consultations with experts introduces Eco-Insurance for a Sustainable Future to a broader audience of stakeholders from around the world for comments and suggestions. It is the first step of what will be a challenging journey towards practical implementation of an exciting initiative through public-private international cooperation.

This document discusses how retired individuals can start a business by drawing on old skills and networks to address existing needs in mature markets. It recommends building a customer base and revenue first before introducing complex innovations, and advises establishing a solid foundation to maintain founder control while addressing pain points caused by regulatory changes. The goal is to leverage existing solutions rather than creating something entirely novel.
E-invoicing and Peppol were discussed. The presentation covered:
1) The invoicing flow and how e-invoicing streamlines it.
2) Peppol is a network that allows secure and standardized e-invoicing across Europe.
3) Belgian regulation will soon require all B2B invoicing to be electronic, utilizing the Peppol network.
4) As the Peppol network grows in users and document types, its benefits increase for all members through self-discovery and increased reception capabilities.
The document discusses a financial platform company that provides consulting and implementation services for digital investment offerings. It provides a cloud-native platform to support clients. The company assists with integrating its financial platform and customizing functionality. It also discusses how AI can help investment companies get more from their existing client base by identifying sales prospects, understanding individual client needs through data analysis, and creating tailored sales narratives. Finally, it outlines how AI can enhance the investment journey by performing tasks like proposing goals, conducting audits, generating recommendations, and delivering customized reports.
This document discusses how artificial intelligence can be a gamechanger in anti-money laundering efforts. It notes that estimated money laundering amounts to 2-5% of global GDP, or between $1-2 trillion globally and $25.5 billion in Belgium specifically. Current detection rates are only about 10% of total amounts. The document then outlines different implementation scenarios for using AI, including using it to generate new rules or augment existing rule-based systems. It proposes an approach that intelligently combines AI with rules to generate automated and explainable risk scoring of clients and transactions to better identify suspicious activity.
The document summarizes Nicolas Kalokyris' presentation on regulatory considerations for the use of artificial intelligence in financial services. It provides examples of AI applications like neobanks, credit scoring, chatbots, robo-advisors, and anti-money laundering. It also discusses applicable regulations and principles for regulating AI, including a risk-based approach and ensuring technological neutrality. The presentation aims to address legal uncertainty around applying existing financial regulations to innovative AI-based business models.
The document summarizes an upcoming event on AI regulation and innovations in financial technology. It includes:
1) An agenda for the event with presentations on the EU AI Act, AI in anti-money laundering and healthcare innovations, and a panel discussion.
2) Information on DLA Piper's EU AI Act app and digital guide providing analysis and resources on AI regulation.
3) An overview of Fintech Belgium, the organizer, including their membership, events, innovation hub, and resources for startups, events, news and careers in fintech.
This document summarizes an exclusive finance matchmaking session between 3 banks and 21 fintechs with over 110 registrations. The half-day event includes welcome remarks, a keynote on collaboration in innovation, reverse pitching sessions between the banks and fintechs, networking opportunities, and presentations from the fintechs. The event is organized by Fintech Belgium, a non-profit association promoting the development of fintech in Belgium through collaborations between its over 135 fintech members and other organizations.
This document discusses collaboration opportunities between banks and fintechs. It notes that Belgian banking customers have become less satisfied in recent years due to high prices, lack of personalized offerings, and an unmet price-quality ratio. Fintechs can address these issues by collaborating with banks across domains like payments, credit solutions, core banking, and digital retail. Leading fintechs are highlighted as examples. The document argues that banks and fintechs benefit from each other - fintechs gain resources and customer reach from banks, while banks gain flexibility and future-looking technologies from fintechs. For successful collaboration, both sides must champion each other's strengths, focus on security, partner through incubators, and drive customer-

Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.

3. An ecosystem is a community of interacting entities. The members
of the ecosystem can be organizations, businesses and individuals,
all creating value for one another in some way; mostly by producing
or consuming goods and services.
4. A platform is the way a particular community or ecosystem is
organized to interact with one another and to create value. A platform
typically is focused on bringing the ecosystem together and reducing
friction for interactions to take place.
I’m not Hans Robben. He is still the central guest in this key note.
I will first introduce you to the secrets of platforms and ecosystems. Hans will bring the AllRide case with BAM.
And finally Els will bring a testimonal on the inception of a new platform idea.
Ecosystem – animals – savanna
Fish Tank: Sea fish eat and being eaten.
Part of a larger ecosystem: shopping mall – attract people – fun factor
Community of interacting entities (animals, organisations, individuals) => creating value by producing – consuming goods and services

Voorbeeld MasterCard => vroeger bilaterale uitwisseling van gegevens tussen klant/issuer en merchant/acquirer => nu via betaalplatform
Voorbeeld ebay => kopers en verkopers met elkaar in contact brengen
2 strategies:
Product/service platformization; build an ecosystem around a capability => commoditizing; standardazing a capability => Stripe
Ecosystem orchestration: mobilize an ecosystem by removing friction and hurdles. E.g. AirBnB
Innovative evolution:
launching incremental innovation initiatives
Starting from your strong capabilities
Winner takes it all
E.g. bank => improve banking apps with new features; new payment solutions
Disruptive innnovation:
Completely out of the comfort zone
Learn which capabilities will be interesting to commoditize (using platform insights)
Example Amazon => from online bookstore to cloud computing vendor; voice assistant; supermarket (wholefoods)
Combination:
Setup a virtuous circle
Crown jewel mining
What if we could make road infrastructure connected with it’s users, intelligent and adaptable?
Paradigm shift in the way we look at mobility
Voorbeeld van disruptive innovation
Show complexity and approach platform solution
It’s just an idea, not a project yet

Are you having fun ?
Before I call Els to the stage – look around you and think about this quote!
Introduce Els as member of Hackathon team and customer advisor at KBC Insurance

How did we come up with this idea?
KBC proves every year that she is one of the leaders in the field of digital innovation in its sector. We not only markets innovative services that are closely related to our banking and insurance activities (=evolutive innovation) , but we also want to create added value by developing innovative solutions in those areas where a bank/insurer can really make a difference.
We started not to think like we are used to do from a product, or from our classic core business, we looked further.We recieved signals from our customers in the offices, and our own colleagues about their needs in taking care of persons who suffer from dementia. They have Physcial needs, Safety needs, Love and Belonging, their Self-Esteem en at last their Self Actualisation.KBC is aware that people under the age of 65 are increasingly confronted with juvenile dementia. 1500 suffer from juvenile dementia en 220000 from dementia.
With this increasing number of people in need of care, the pressure on the care provider is increasing.
We were also inspired by Voice as a new technology: because almost everybody has a voice and it seams that this technology is approachable for elderly.
So we asked ourselves this question :
Can KBC relieve customers of worries (zie foto van ouder koppel)?
By using the value propostion canvas with AE we learned about the customer jobs and the pains and gains of the patient and his careprovider.We defined the gain creators and the pain relievers to end with a platform service supporting the patient and his environment.
Result: This is obviously for KBC out of our comfort zone and clearly disruptive innovation for us.

AE hackathon:
In the AE Hackathon, we had the opportunity to search for a solution that would both support the (young) demented patient in living at home for a longer period of time and to relieve the caregiver of his worries.
So se went 2 days all the way out of our comfort zone with a mixed team from KBC + AE
During the 36-hour Hackathon we used all the tools available to validate our ideas and assumptions.We gained valuable insights from the Platform methodologies:-From the platform innovation kit : we used the idea canvas with the goal to define the platform idea and the value canvas to validate the value for each stakeholder -The other technique we used was the Lean canvas: so we could put our focus on fast validating our assumptions - We also used the BUFFL market research tool. With the latter, we had been able to test both our problem definition and our solution for a group of 100 people.That gave us the necessary outside-in perspectives.We developed as well a prototype in wich Amazon's Alexa Voice Service played the leading role in order to learn about the feasability; and discover its limitations
Then we got challenged by the jury.
Result: Team KBC Humaen managed to convince the jury with our social relevance, and won the Hackathon award for Best Business Idea. AND it gave us positive reactions from internal and external sources

Next steps:
You have to continue to refine all aspects of such an idea because it is not yet a project.
You can’t developpe all this by yourself, you need partners and collaboration models
You need to think about the value creation (not only financially, …)
You have to decide which technology to use: if it is not Alexa, you have to consider other alternatives
This is a very good way of learning more about an idea in little time especially when your idea is about disruptive innovation. It was a great experience for our team en KBC certainly wants to use this approach again in the future.
