InnovaLab´s Innovation Journey 7

We believe that transformational learning starts with one, to witness yourself; one-to-one, to build relationships; one-to-many, to propose and get feedback; many-to-many, to network; and many-to-one, to address corporate and social strategies and policies to meet society´s needs, interest and benefits.

InnovaLab´s Innovation Journey 6

InnovaLab, a member of the European Network of Living Labs, experiments with alternative learning systems in social design settings for lifelong learning and human development. InnovaLab has years of experience building prototype environments that then enables clients to build their own learning communities, places and networks. Ascertained from grass-root communities, universities, governments, and industry groups, we have learned that success requires the multi-disciplined strengths, capabilities and resources of the whole team, its community and environment and not just a few innovation leaders.

Based on Joseph Campbell´s Mythical Story Structure, the modules bring into relief an integral and evolutionary way of learning: sensing fully, storytelling, expressive, visualization, constructive activities, prototyping, role-playing, innovation games, evolutionary systems design and artscience. As they proceed through the modules learners justify their design choices based on the innovation principles they have learned by experience. The facilitator´s role consists of providing constant feedback, coaching and encouragement.

The TCB Innovation Journey, its techniques and tools set the stage to: 1.) challenge learners to explore existing beliefs, 2.) expose them to new ideas, 3.) and assign tasks which encourage teams to re-evaluate, redefine and apply their emerging understanding.
With an opportunity to take charge of their own lives, learners must consider their own transformation in context of innovation processes while witnessing emerging beliefs.

The TCB Innovation Journey modules are designed in a constructivist approach. The learning objectives follow participatory, situated, design and evolutionary learning frameworks to accompany active learners. In this way, learners are able to construct their own knowledge beliefs within a content domain based on innovation culture. To build an innovation culture the constructivist process consist of formulating very broad learning objectives with the facilitator and group to negotiate more specific learning goals.

The TCB Innovation Journey is a series of conversations, workshops, experiences, field-trips and ethnographic treks to explore innovation. Our activities are based on the exploratory, participatory and interpretive ways of knowing in Serious Games. Evolutionary Systems Design is the formal modelling framework we use to continuously design task-oriented group processes targeted on aligning values, design/development, enterprising and reflecting on meaning perspectives.

InnovaLab´s Innovation Journey 1

InnovaLab is pioneering new forms of social interaction while emerging creative culture in organizations: Sensing fully, storytelling, expressive activities, visualization, constructive activities, prototyping, role-playing, innovation games, evolutionary systems design and artscience.

Welcome to the Teas, Camps and Backstages (TCB) Innovation Journey. We offer an adventure of innovation challenges where Innovation Heroes gain a wide range of personal, team, and organizational capabilities and competencies. The Innovation Journey prepares the transforming learner to aspire to ideal innovation futures.

InnovaLab presentation at Bank of America event

I was in Cambridge building relationships, mostly at the MIT Media Lab.

I presented at the Bank of America Golf Tournament Hospitality Tent at the Nashawtuc Country Club, Concord, Massachusetts.

Dr. Abdullah Toukan - Science Advisor to Jordan's late King Hussein and King Abdullah presented the lecture and I did the workshop with InnovaLab´s techniques.

I created two groups of people to design a new business looking deeply at their reality-based experience and projecting who they wanted to be...and how the new business would support this goals and collaborate with the other team member´s goals. They enjoyed the experience although it was a brief 30 minutes.

Parte de la historia de InnovaLab

Julio 7, 2007 quedaron completamente equipados the Immersion Space y el Interaction Space del laboratorio Innovalab.

Además del equipamiento tecnológico disponible en las oficinas: fuentes de vídeo, pantallas de plasma de 42 inch, dolby surround 5.1, control automático de ambiente de la sala (luces, sonido, etc.) se ha concebido con un diseño alejado de la estética ordinaria que recuerda a las oficinas para ofrece un espacio diferente que nos ha permitido inspirarse, interactuar y romper los límites que en el día a día les constriñen.

De esta manera, el Immersion Space está equipado con sillones de diseño de ultima generación, capaces de adaptarse a diversas posiciones (sentado o tumbado) que permitan de manera más sencilla al visitante sumergirse en la innovación.

El Interaction Space, es el lugar donde trabajamos con equipos para forma ideas surgidas en el Immersion Space y está equipado con un Wall Display 3M que permite realizar videoconferencia, proyecciones y barridos de pantalla a impresora y una gran mesa.

En el Interaction Space la forma de trabajo es a base de dinámicas de Serious Games (interacción, juegos de rol, etc.) a través de los cuales empezan a generar ideas y romper rutinas que puedan llevarse a cabo en sus organizaciones para mejorar sus procesos, productos, áreas de innovación. Mas importante las tecnicas de InnovaLab cambia la cultural de organizaciones para estar preparados a innovar.
