Late last year, I joined Alex Glennie of the UK-based innovation foundation Nesta on a short project in Helsinki.
Alex & I were supporting the Finnish innovation agency, Business Finland, as they explored the concept of “mission-oriented innovation”, where innovation policy is linked to societal missions.
Using ‘fast facilitation’ methods to swiftly elicit key ideas and pressing challenges, we asked participants to consider their mission in terms of the value created by their relationships with stakeholders in the innovation ecosystem.
You can read about the project, and see what happened on our visit to Helsinki, at the Nesta website.
