Purpose and goal
We wanted to reinforce interest in innovation and creative processes in our own business by educating students to innovative mentors / leaders in our own and other public activities. The students who participated have shown a lot of interest to continue to communicate about and act in innovative processes. We have also received increased interest in Mind of Innovation, both internally and by others, both private and public organisations. The goal was to develop a concept for an education. We have tested it with successful results, and seen the potential for development
Results and expected effects
Results we want to emphasize is considerable interest among participating students to empower themselves in the field of innovation and getting to act as role models, both internally at the university and in other public organizations. We have established contacts around Blekinge, both in the public and private sector, where they have shown great interest in inviting our students for innovative thinking and development. A first approach to an education is designed with good results, but we also, along with participating students, sees great potential for development.
Approach and implementation
We chose to structure the project as a project together with the students, where the first inspiration seminars were developed by the students, was conducted and also evaluated of them. Large parts of the participants chose to join a stay with an education in Five Disciplines of Innovation and the NABC model. We appreciate the results as very successful, but there is great potential for development of both the seminars to offer courses at the university and the two days of education. We would have asked for a little more time to test in our own organization and others for real
