Laurea with multiple Centre of Excellence awards in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area

My heart resonates for creativity and for the magic of

the Virtuous Innovation Circle

TO BE INTERNATIONALLY ACKNOWLEDGED BY 2015

As a nationally acknowledged HEI, Laurea is a developer that has been awarded with multiple

Centre of Excellence awards. In the next wave it is our next aim is to

Kanter (1988) Innovation is most likely in organizations that

(a) have integrative structures, (b) emphasize diversity, (c) have multiple structural linkages inside and outside

the organization, (d) have intersecting territories, (e) have collective pride and faith in people’s talent, and (f) emphasize collaboration and teamwork.

Sometimes, chaos, tension, contradictory goals and paradoxes can help the intellectual mind to keep on ones toes, and, thus,

to force innovations that might shatter the conventional wisdom.

Diversity and Combinations of existing ideas foster innovation

Keep generating more ideas and insights

Plan for the mistakes and failures

Follow your passion

Steps into the intersection –unleash an explosion of ideas

THE VIRTUOUS INNOVATION CIRCLE (VIC) IS BASED ON

the reconciliation of the many controversial realities at the same time

a study onvirtuous innovation circle

the study explored the sustainable and successful performance of innovation ecosystem where many realities took place simultaneously

a Grounded Theory was built about the congruities and discrepancies concerning how innovation and its relation with the circumstances was perceived

• how innovative people experienced 1) innovation, 2) creative people and 3) the circumstances where innovation took place, • what reinforced and deteriorated innovation• what was the fundamental nature of innovation and the deeper meanings behind the experiences

the virtuous innovation circlehighlighted particularly the invisible side of innovation ecosystems

VISIBLE SIDE e.g. organisations, funding, market, economical growth,

taxation, legislation, innovation arenas and

business services, formal innovation strategies,

strategic thinking and vision, verified knowledge

INVISIBLE SIDE e.g. human related factors like informal networking,

“idea market”, tacit knowledge, intuition,

psychological energy, the sensation of flow, tolerance

of inconveniences12.1.2010

Hirvikoski & Diz @ NTU INSIGHT 15

VIC strategies and process - individuals and groups of people respond to the

contextual circumstances from micro to the most macro level.

- the process consists of the flow of actions, interactions and emotions. It is an abstract deduction of the discovered strategies, which had had the power to distinct the best performance from the good one and to manage the internal and external tensions.

- consequently, the process gives rise to the virtuous circle, and at the same time prevents it from turning into a vicious circle.

VICimmanence of individual It refers to the human capacity, characteristics, competences, knowledge, values, emotions, feelings and actions of human beings in their different innovation related functions and during the various phases of innovation. Proactive innovation intellects are the creative professionals in various different innovation related roles; they can be the creative thinkers, inventors, innovators, creative managers, innovation protectors, opinion leaders, or activists, but they can as well adapt to the role of the creative user.

Internationalisation stands for diversity and it drives innovation... the world is flat due to the highly developed telecommunicationinfrastructure

Internationalisation provides access to human capital, resources etc...

...in the future, the healthcare systems will integrate the best parts of Asian and European knowledge and the concepts of good life

Innovation travels and evolves.. e.g. from Finland to Japan and from Japan to

Finland and then back to Japan

....from Japan to Finland

EncounterArt Laurea imported the Japanese rehabilitative art method called Clinical Art (CA) to Finland in 2006 and created its Finnish version, Encounter Art, in cooperation with Tohoku Fukushi University (TFU) and the City of Vantaa. Encounter Art is a structured group method that uses all senses and different forms of Visual Art. First three years in Finland the 19 art groups have operated in elderly care facilities but the method will be extended to child protection, special youth care, family work and disabled clients.

E2C

Ethnographic methods unfold the hidden needs

E2C develops, test s and deploys a web service, which stimulate and facilitates personal storytelling, and enable interest-based connections and communication among elderly and thereby empower them and enrich their life. The E2C focuses on finding a solution to the very challenging issues:

1. Preventing the internal experience of loneliness as this is strongly associated with dissatisfaction with life.

2. Develop a new innovative solution for an emergent EU market for “preventive social technology”, consisting of the increasing part of elderly people age 65+

3. Creating implementation strategies that allow the solution a place in the service ecology of elderly care by contributing to a stop in the predicted rise (up by 4 – 8 % of GDP in 2025) in costs of health and long term care.www.express2connect.organne.ayvari@Laurea.fi

LAUREA HYVINKÄÄ

Studying takes place in real working life projects (e.g. P2P, InnoPaja) and in our learning environments that enable the simulation of reality: Process simulation laboratory, Multisensory space and Laurea Medical and Care Simulation Centre. Expertise develops in tight and experiential interaction with every-day life, its enterprise and service functions and multidisciplinary student, expert and partnership network.

P2P – Laurea Peer to Peer

• In its originally used form Peer to Peer learning means that students of the same course or degree learn from each other by mutual communication and working in groups. In Laurea Peer to Peer as an educational method has been applied to the Business Management programme. In this particular Peer to Peer model the term “peer” has been extended to teachers' and companies' specialists.

Studying takes place in real working life projects.

Structured self-organising system - shared leadership like in a flock of geese

“Watch a flock of geese turning and swooping in flight, undeterred by wind, obstacles and distance. There is no grand vizier goose, no chairman of the gaggle. They can’t call ahead for a weather report. They can’t predict what obstacles they will meet. They don’t know which of their number will expire in flight. Yet their course is true. And they are a flock.”

Hamel ((2002),253) Leading the revolution

“Spontaneous harmony”, “order without careful crafting”
