Eco-system Innovation
IDE Design Master Class for Professionals
Designing for collaborative value creation and sustainable growth
In the second decennium of the 21st century the innovation game will change significantly: sustainability, participation, digitization, legislation and new competition are no longer abstract trends but have become very concrete opportunities to make a real difference.
Successful organizations will be able to innovate collaboratively, in eco-systems where companies, governments and persons (customers, citizens, users, patients, or employees) co-create new types of value in new types of business models. Increasingly the success of innovation hinges not only on the quality of the product or service as such, but also on the extent to which organizations are able to participate in and contribute to such eco-systems.

Louka Commu
As a Service Designer at Livework, I work together with organisations to help improve their proposition, strategy and/or organisational set-up and become more human-centred with the explicit inclusion of the sustainability perspective. I believe in continuous development and improvement for organisations as well as for me personally, trying to be the bridge between the scientific and practical world.Stein Wetzer
I imagine the future and try to seek connections within & between ecosystems relating this back to ‘now’. As a service designer I combine this with empathy, I aim to create a positive impact, for human beings, organizations, but overall for our planet.Programme
