 Ineffec*ve

 Changing

 Stressful

 Difficulty

broken?
A

exists
between:
• the

and
the
finite

of

• the

• the

• technology

• ins*tu*onal

and

• gross

and
actual
well-­‐being;
• governance
mechanisms
and
the
voiceless
in
our
systems;
• actual
ownership
forms
and
best
societal
use
of
property.

14. “CLOSING
THE
INNOVATION
DIVIDE”
OPINION
of
the
Commi>ee
of
the
Regions
July
2013
“We
cannot
address
societal
challenges
through
minor
adjustments
and
conven*onal
management
methods.
BoosJng
renewal
capital
is
cri*cal
to
success:
crea*vity,
innova*on
and
the
confidence
to
innovate
and
reform
are
also
the
keys
to
success
for
local
and
regional
decision-­‐
makers.”
“Regions need new arenas as hotspots for innovation co-creation.
These could be described as "innovation gardens" and
"challenge platforms", which together form a prototype
workspace for inventing the future.
These are needed to address challenges - from small local
challenges to major societal challenges at global level.”
