innovation cells supporting living labs practices: a case example
DESCRIPTION
Even when Living Labs have emerged as a promising approach to foster user-driven innovation, there is a lack of literature describing processes and methods about the co-creation practices. Besides, more studies about how to integrate externals participants are required because openness in the innovation process needs to be regulated with the intention to support creativity and guidance. This paper presents the “innovation cell”, understood as small basic unit of a Living Lab with the capacity to connect with others innovation cells and thus foster innovation networking. The proposed framework has been formalized gradually throughout the last years as a result of the accumulated experience of a research group collaborating with others innovation agents in the creation of new eProducts and eServices during 2006-2010. To support innovation and learning activities in this space, a technological platform and a design methodology have also been developed and continuously improved.TRANSCRIPT
