Learning spaces as accelerators of innovation ecosystem development 2013Kari Mikkelä
This article examines learning spaces as a broad concept, addressing them both as an abstraction and as venues and facilities supporting learning on individual, organisational and regional levels. Our two simultaneous perspectives are top-down (Europe 2020 strategy) and bottom-up (learning and innovativeness of individuals). As an abstract
concept, learning space refers especially to the mental dimension of the space emerging
when individual experts collaborate. It draws from the culture of modernising the Triple
Helix collaboration coloring the learning environment, and the quality of interaction between the classroom and industry agents, either hindering or supporting better synergy between research, education and innovation, as well as different initiatives focusing on creativity and entrepreneurial discovery.

ABSTRACT
This paper will describe shortly a new STP concept called 3GSP (Third Generation Science Park), which is gaining momentum in Finland. It explains the fundamental changes in the global innovation environment and explains why the platform thinking is becoming an essential element in ecosystem development. The theoretical background and classifications of platforms are described and the benefits from the STP perspective highlighted. The paper emphasizes especially the role of so called ‘competence platforms’ and explains the main characteristics of a fully working competence platform. The role of competence platforms in understanding serendipity and as a fundamental factor in the team building is highlighted.
The paper analyses from STP perspective several practical elements, where platform thinking supports the emergence of new innovation environments, including Urban Mill (Finland) and Meetberlage (Netherlands). The requirements for comprehensive competence platform services are presented and their potential to support community building and therefore ecosystem development is illustrated.
This analysis will give the STP practitioners new models of applying the quadruple helix-principles and help in the co-creation, open innovation and serendipity management practises. The case studies, which are presented in the paper, will help the STP management teams to evaluate the benefits of platform thinking in different contexts.

The project aims at the identification of specific problems the new member states are facing after their accession to the EU and on the basis of this, at proposing priority areas for common action on European level that might involve:
• Amendment of current common EU policies;
• Deliberation on issues outside the scope of common policies that might necessitate common action on EU level;
• Refraining from the adoption of common EU policies on issues that are considered to be addressed best at national level.
Eleven subsections/policy areas (Subsection B1 – Subsection B11) should be examined byn order to identify existing and/or potntial post-accession “problem areas”.
The analysis of each subsection (policy area) should conclude with:
Assessment of the existence or non-existence of EU leverage after the accession and its reform potential compared to the pre-accession period.
In case there is no EU-leverage, the Expert should realistically examine the possibility and consequences of introducing such a mechanism if relevant.
In case there is EU leverage, the Expert should assess its efficiency and effectiveness. In case it is negatively assessed, the Expert should consider if there is a necessity of abstaining from a common EU policy?
On the basis of the above considerations, the Expert should summarize if for the effective problem-solving in the respective policy area there is a need for:
• the introduction of EU leverage mechanisms in the form of a new common EU policy;
• the reform of an existing EU leverage mechanisms in order to improve its efficiency and effectiveness (and specify how exactly);
• abstaining from an adoption of a common EU policy.

Connecting the SMART work design approach to sociotechnical design principles...Peter Oeij
While sociologists have a strong interest in the division of labour, the labour process, and sociotechnical design aspects, in relation to job and work design, psychologists stress the importance of human needs and human satisfaction. Sociologists underline strategic and organisational choices as conditional to the quality of work, whereas psychologists focus on person-environment-fit approaches.
Recently, we observe a rapprochement in the field, with regard to the development of the SMART work design model; individual, team, and organisational elements are integrated into an approach that links human needs, job characteristics and organisational conditions. In Europe (particularly in the Lowlands and Scandinavia) researchers have linked sociotechnical design thinking to organisational design principles for production lay-outs and quality of work criteria into a modern sociotechnical approach. The paper intends to stimulate discussion about how to integrate elements of the SMART work design approach and the ‘modern sociotechnical‘ into an integral approach, in the sense that ‘HR professionals meet the engineers’.

The conference will discuss topics such as what workplace innovation is, how industry 5.0 creates a new context, and examples of self-organizing teamwork using Buurtzorg NL as a case study. Comparisons will also be made between self-organizing teamwork in Asia and the West. The conclusion is that management has strategic choices in how to respond to workplace innovation approaches.
Workplace Innovation: Theory, research and practicev0.1_short.pdfPeter Oeij
This lecture discusses workplace innovation, providing definitions and research examples. It defines workplace innovation as involving employee engagement, humanistic management practices, and a bottom-up approach rather than top-down. Research examples show that successful workplace innovation combines structural changes like job autonomy with cultural changes like participation. A case study of 51 companies found five paths to substantial workplace innovation, and a logistics study found that workplace innovation factors like autonomy drive employees' adoption of innovations. The lecture concludes by outlining steps to develop and implement workplace innovation interventions and discusses the role of digitalization.

Designing and Sustaining Large-Scale Value-Centered Agile Ecosystems (powered...Alexey Krivitsky
Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.
m249-saw PMI To familiarize the soldier with the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon ...LinghuaKong2
M249 Saw marksman PMIThe Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW), or 5.56mm M249 is an individually portable, gas operated, magazine or disintegrating metallic link-belt fed, light machine gun with fixed headspace and quick change barrel feature. The M249 engages point targets out to 800 meters, firing the improved NATO standard 5.56mm cartridge.The SAW forms the basis of firepower for the fire team. The gunner has the option of using 30-round M16 magazines or linked ammunition from pre-loaded 200-round plastic magazines. The gunner's basic load is 600 rounds of linked ammunition.The SAW was developed through an initially Army-led research and development effort and eventually a Joint NDO program in the late 1970s/early 1980s to restore sustained and accurate automatic weapons fire to the fire team and squad. When actually fielded in the mid-1980s, the SAW was issued as a one-for-one replacement for the designated "automatic rifle" (M16A1) in the Fire Team. In this regard, the SAW filled the void created by the retirement of the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) during the 1950s because interim automatic weapons (e.g. M-14E2/M16A1) had failed as viable "base of fire" weapons.
Early in the SAW's fielding, the Army identified the need for a Product Improvement Program (PIP) to enhance the weapon. This effort resulted in a "PIP kit" which modifies the barrel, handguard, stock, pistol grip, buffer, and sights.
The M249 machine gun is an ideal complementary weapon system for the infantry squad platoon. It is light enough to be carried and operated by one man, and can be fired from the hip in an assault, even when loaded with a 200-round ammunition box. The barrel change facility ensures that it can continue to fire for long periods. The US Army has conducted strenuous trials on the M249 MG, showing that this weapon has a reliability factor that is well above that of most other small arms weapon systems. Today, the US Army and Marine Corps utilize the license-produced M249 SAW.

From Concept to reality : Implementing Lean Managements DMAIC Methodology for...Rokibul Hasan
The Ready-Made Garments (RMG) industry in Bangladesh is a cornerstone of the economy, but increasing costs and stagnant productivity pose significant challenges to profitability. This study explores the implementation of Lean Management in the Sampling Section of RMG factories to enhance productivity. Drawing from a comprehensive literature review, theoretical framework, and action research methodology, the study identifies key areas for improvement and proposes solutions.
Through the DMAIC approach (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control), the research identifies low productivity as the primary problem in the Sampling Section, with a PPH (Productivity per head) of only 4.0. Using Lean Management techniques such as 5S, Standardized work, PDCA/Kaizen, KANBAN, and Quick Changeover, the study addresses issues such as pre and post Quick Changeover (QCO) time, improper line balancing, and sudden plan changes.
The research employs regression analysis to test hypotheses, revealing a significant correlation between reducing QCO time and increasing productivity. With a regression equation of Y = -0.000501X + 6.72 and an R-squared value of 0.98, the study demonstrates a strong relationship between the independent variables (QCO downtime and improper line balancing downtime) and the dependent variable (productivity per head).
The findings suggest that by implementing Lean Management practices and addressing key productivity inhibitors, RMG factories can achieve substantial improvements in efficiency and profitability. The study provides valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers seeking to enhance productivity in the RMG industry and similar manufacturing sectors.

This presentation, "The Morale Killers: 9 Ways Managers Unintentionally Demotivate Employees (and How to Fix It)," is a deep dive into the critical factors that can negatively impact employee morale and engagement. Based on extensive research and real-world experiences, this presentation reveals the nine most common mistakes managers make, often without even realizing it.
The presentation begins by highlighting the alarming statistic that 70% of employees report feeling disengaged at work, underscoring the urgency of addressing this issue. It then delves into each of the nine "morale killers," providing clear explanations and illustrative examples.
1. Ignoring Achievements: The presentation emphasizes the importance of recognizing and rewarding employees' efforts, tailored to their individual preferences.
2. Bad Hiring/Promotions & Broken Promises: It reveals the detrimental effects of poor hiring and promotion decisions, along with the erosion of trust that results from broken promises.
3. Treating Everyone Equally & Tolerating Poor Performance: This section stresses the need for fair treatment while acknowledging that employees have different needs. It also emphasizes the importance of addressing poor performance promptly.
4. Stifling Growth & Lack of Interest: The presentation highlights the importance of providing opportunities for learning and growth, as well as showing genuine care for employees' well-being.
5. Unclear Communication & Micromanaging: It exposes the frustration and resentment caused by vague expectations and excessive control, advocating for clear communication and employee empowerment.
The presentation then shifts its focus to the power of recognition and empowerment, highlighting how a culture of appreciation can fuel engagement and motivation. It provides actionable takeaways for managers, emphasizing the need to stop demotivating behaviors and start actively fostering a positive workplace culture.
The presentation concludes with a strong call to action, encouraging viewers to explore the accompanying blog post, "9 Proven Ways to Crush Employee Morale (and How to Avoid Them)," for a more in-depth analysis and practical solutions.
6. SI‐DRIVE Project
Social Innovation – drivers of social change
‐ a project of the European Commission
‐ must contribute to 1] social cohesion, and 2] economic growth
‐ a social innovation is a new solution for a social problem that is experienced by persons and
communities
‐ often it is difficult to acquire financial resources to solve these problems; often enterprises
see no business in it; often government has limited financial possibilities; often communities
and civilians take the initiative
‐ Why is social innovation important?
‐ Technological innovation and business innovation alone are not enough to solve social
problems like climate change, pollution, shortage of natural resources, poverty, refugee‐
issue, ageing population, etc.
‐ Human talents and resources must be better used and applied to develop solutions on a
human scale and for which humans are motivated to contribute.
‐ Public sectors and welfare states are under pressure in many countries (cutting
expenditures). A shift in governance is needed and new actors should emerge (citizens
and communities are to play a larger role as self reliant social innovators).
9. SI‐DRIVE Project
Social Innovation –
(very) Comprehensive Working Definition
Social innovation is seen as:
• a new combination or figuration of practices in areas of social action;
• prompted by certain actors or constellations of actors;
• with the goal of better coping with needs and problems than is possible by use of
existing practices.
• An innovation is therefore social to the extent that it varies social action, and is
socially accepted and diffused in society.
• Depending on circumstances of social change, interests, policies and power,
social ideas as well as successfully implemented SI may be transformed and
ultimately institutionalised as regular social practice or made routine.
11. SI‐DRIVE Project
Integrating theories and research methodologies to advance understanding of SI leading
to a comprehensive new paradigm of innovation.
Undertaking European and global mapping of SI, thereby addressing different social,
economic, cultural, historical and religious contexts in eight major world regions.
Ensuring relevance for policy makers and practitioners through in-depth analyses and case
studies in seven policy fields, with cross European and world region comparisons,
foresight and policy round tables.
SI-DRIVE – Objectives
Extending knowledge about social innovation
Seven Major Policy Fields….
19. SI‐DRIVE Project
1. Active society / Entrepreneurial and inspired
individuals
2. Funding / willingness to invest in Social Innovation
3. Use of new technologies / social media
4. Networks / platforms for cooperation stakeholders
5. Legislative support
6. Sense of urgency for social needs among politicians
7. Political change: new governance, space for civil
society

28. WP 11 Foresight & PolicyYouth unemployment &
vulnerable groups
SSI Servicios Sociales Integrados [Spain]
Goal Cooperation: to make people self‐employed in the realm of social care.
Background: a task that could not be fulfilled by public body is replaced to this cooperation;
otherwise 300 women would become jobless
Main drivers (push and pull) High unemployment (also of the husbands of those women); conflict between Bilbao City
Council and Bizkaia Provincial government (about workers and care); sharing interests of
women workers and administration representatives; contracts awarded to SSI by the city of
Bilbao (paid with capitalisation of unemployment subsidies); training to enhance
employability; [later:] diversification and broadening of the scope and functions of the
cooperation (scaling out and up)
Main barriers Losing contracts in competition; newness of cooperatives; restrictive Spanish labour
regulations
Role Policy SSI has strong relations with public entities; PPP with Bilbao City Hall
Main impacts Support for unemployed women, provide care clients, and cost‐efficiency for the city
council; imitation of cooperation across the country; stepping stone towards systemic
change
Main leverage factor Ms. Mendizabal, charismatic project leader, later Ms. Acedo; the need for survival created a
new market (niche) with both economic and public value and growing competition over the
contracts
Social change mechanisms Solving two problems in one solution with a ‘closed purse’ (state care and unemployed
women); it is a well imitable social business model
Effect on social change Cooperations like SSI became a PPP example al across Spain
Remaining/emerging
questions/issues
Is this social innovation (service innovation) or ‘bad governance’ ? Has economic
competition eventually become the main driver for sustainable growth and
institutionalisation of cooperatives (as a business model)?
31. WP 11 Foresight & Policy

34. WORKPLACE INNOVATION: DEFINITION
AND PRACTICES (OEIJ ET AL., 2015)
A workplace innovation (WPI) is a developed and implemented practice or
combination of practices that structurally (division of labour) and/or
culturally (empowerment) enable employees to participate in organisational
change and renewal to improve quality of working life and organisational
performance.
‘structure orientation’ :
structure work organisation and job design; provide employees with
structural decision latitude or control capacity; can stimulate employee-
control or autonomy, and provide voice (operational employment relations).
‘culture orientation’ :
provide opportunities for employees to participate (e.g. in) organisational
decision-making; dialogue and collective bargaining: can stimulate
commitment and provide voice (social / contractual employment relations).34
35. WORKPLACE INNOVATION

Human work behaviour in
the organisation
Employee

more voice
Goals:
1. Better
organisational
performance
2. Better quality
jobs
36. WHY IS WORKPLACE INNOVATION
IMPORTANT? (OEIJ, RUS & POT, 2017; OEIJ ET AL., 2016 ISPIM PAPER)
To remain competitive and control costs / efficiency
To improve the innovative capability of the organisation
To be an attractive employer on the labour market
To create a resilient workforce (see also Oeij, 2017)
To create healthy, safe and challenging work / jobs
To sustain employment and prevent McDonaldization of
work (Ritzer)
To contribute to a better world in terms of humanistic
work, and well-being and welfare for society at large
36
37. WORKPLACE INNOVATION: EXAMPLES
OF INTERVENTIONS
(OEIJ ET AL, 2015/EUROFOUND STUDY)
Introduction of self-managing teams
Minimising organisational levels
Job enlargement to broaden functions and build cross-functional teams
Partnership with unions to improve Occupational Health and Safety
Knowledge sharing to improve innovative capability
Regular information sharing between management and employees
Provide employees with a say in working tomes to better combine private life
Organise challenge for new ideas to stimulate innovation via commitment
In general: design the core work process (structure) in such a way that
employees have autonomy to co-decide (culture), in order to improve jobs,
organisation performance and innovative capability (outcome)

Crucial barriers to
overcome and drivers
-accept that there will be no
full employment- need for
mobility and refugee crisis
(competition for jobs) across
Europe
-tension between value-
creation and public value
-vulnerable groups are badly
presented by politics
-social innovators are in
conflict with rules and
regulations
-SE has a negative image as
‘not real’; improve the image
of SE
-‘scammers’ that abuse SE
to make quick wins
-unclear legal and fiscal
barriers between social
enterprise, social
entrepreneuring, civil society
initiatives
-limited funding leads to
unwanted competition and
hinders start-ups and
sustaining growth (scaling)
-start-ups cannot learn from
failures due to lack of
systematic learning
-Insufficient knowledge and
proof about good practices
-competition and
unwillingness to share
knowledge between
companies
-dilemma between WPI
(when efficiency driven) and
employment creation (too
strong focus on efficiency
gains)
