Innovation techniques beyond brain-storming."},"content":{"rendered":"

Background: <\/strong>As the challenge of transforming the Industrial Growth Economy becomes more critical, so does the need for innovations with a totally new approach. We are facing new situations where experience from the last 80 years is no guide. We need to recover the wisdom of our ancestors, who, without fossil fuels, survived and made our life possible. Many call this the period in history of the Great Turning.<\/p>\n

Is there a way to just \u201dcome up\u201d with solutions \u201dout of the blue\u201d given a concrete problem to solve? Leonardo da Vinci and Einstein seemed to have this gift. What did they do? Did they close their eyes? The\u00a0 same thing for our ancestors: they did not have the luxury of wondering about where they could import technology from. They solved problems using what they had at hand. Years of research into innovative strategies by Dr. Win Wenger have synthesized findings about the mental process of innovation into a set of techniques called Imagestreaming.<\/p>\n

But to go from insight to action requires innovation too. This workshop addresses these alike. Stephen Hinton, former Program manager at Ericsson and Managing Director of Purity AB, a water purification company has developed and used these techniques to produce the book \u201dInventing for the Sustainable Planet\u201d.<\/p>\n

The techniques are remarkably simple to learn and apply.<\/p>\n

Workshop Objectives:<\/h3>\n

To teach the basics of imagestreaming and to apply the techniques to a current transition challenge requiring innovation. You will leave with a tool-box of ways to come up with and implement innovations. And, depending on what you choose to work on during the workshop, maybe a whole new innovation.<\/p>\n

Who should attend?<\/h3>\n

Those who are interested in exploring the\u201dbehind the eyes\u201d techniques of innovation, and open to trying radical new approaches.<\/p>\n
