Purpose and goal
We have developed tools in collaboration with relevant actors in academia and business that aims to address the problems that arise in organizational gaps. Also, our framework has served to promote insightful, empathetic and fruitful interactions between people as well as to inspire more innovative and competitive organizations. We have offered organizations the opportunity to take part in interdisciplinary workshops with the goal of broadening perspectives and become more innovative.
Results and expected effects
The market acceptance has been unexpectedly positive and we have implemented successful interventions in organizations such as Fotografiska, SEB, IFL, Stockholm School of Economics, Babygrppen and Tillväxtverket. Our efforts have been shown to increase trust and commitment within organizatinons as well as to inspire a more innovative mindset.
Approach and implementation
We have worked iteratively throughout the project by investigating the needs of organizations, developing prototypes that respond to those needs and explored these tools in real-world environments. This way we have enabled direct feedback on the work we have done, which have made it possible for us to test, develop and implement a variety of interventions.
