The European Network of Living Labs ENoLL is the international federation of benchmarked Living Labs in Europe and worldwide. Founded in November 2006

under the auspices of the Finnish European Presidency, the network has grown in ‘waves’ up to this day.

Recognized impact (new services & products & social & societal innovation)in each domain

ENOLL WG action & priorities

• address domain needs!• WG coordinate

– Catalyse joint targeting of certain (co-) opportunities

– Coordinate refinement and reuse of domain assets/offers

– Strengthen services from domains towards LL’s and LL stakeholders

– Support domains public information (ENoLL-relation & coherence)

– Web-support for all above

Kanter (1988) Innovation is most likely in organizations that

(a) have integrative structures,

(b) emphasize diversity,

(c) have multiple structural linkages inside and outside the organization,

(d) have intersecting territories,

(e) have collective pride and faith in people’s talent, and

(f) emphasize collaboration and teamwork.

“Sometimes, chaos, tension, contradictory goals and paradoxes can help the intellectual mind to keep on ones toes, and, thus, to force innovations that might shatter the conventional wisdom.”

Diversity nurtures innovation

Internationalisation stands for diversity and it drives innovation... the world is flat due to the highly developed telecommunicationinfrastructure

Internationalisation provides access to human capital, resources etc...

...in the future the healthcare systems will integrate the best parts of Asian and European knowledge and the concepts of good life

international co-creation by Laurea Living Labs

WHAT IF?

we believe it is possible to create a holistic healthcare ecosystem in which

diverse healthcare service end users, different healthcare service companies, research and development institutions, and the governmental healthcare agencies across different countries will gather together to generate both incremental and

radical systemic solutions to fulfill future global healthcare needs, involving the Social and physical health promotion, disease prevention, cure and rehabilitation

FINLAND JOINT PROJECT by Takayuki Kawamura, TFU Proactive Health and Wellbeing Center

Innovation travels and evolves.. e.g. from Finland to Japan and from Japan to

Finland and then back to Japan

Japanese Clinical Art > Finnish EncounterArtLaurea imported the Japanese rehabilitative art method called Clinical Art (CA) to Finland in 2006 and created its Finnish version, Encounter Art, in cooperation with Tohoku Fukushi University (TFU) and the City of Vantaa. Encounter Art is a structured group method that uses all senses and different forms of Visual Art. First three years in Finland the 19 art groups have operated in elderly care facilities but the method will be extended to child protection, special youth care, family work and

disabled clients.

Ambient Assisted Living Joint Programme (AAL)

• The objective is to enhance the quality of life of older people and strengthen the industrial base in Europe through the use of ICT. See more:

http://www.aal-europe.eu/

• The focus of the AAL-2 Call (deadline for applications was 4.5.2009)

• older people living at home

• information and communication technologies

• the challenge of preventing loneliness and isolation amongst elderly people

• empowerment in service development process

E2C

Ethnographic methods unfoldingthe hidden needs

E2C develops, test s and deploys a web service, which stimulate and facilitates personal storytelling, and enable interest-based connections and communication among elderly and thereby empower them and enrich their life. The E2C focuses on finding a solution to the very challenging issues:

1. Preventing the internal experience of loneliness as this is strongly associated with dissatisfaction with life.

2. Develop a new innovative solution for an emergent EU market for “preventive social technology”, consisting of the increasing part of elderly people age 65+

3. Creating implementation strategies that allow the solution a place in the service ecology of elderly care by contributing to a stop in the predicted rise (up by 4 – 8 % of GDP in 2025) in costs of health and long term care.www.express2connect.organne.ayvari@Laurea.fi

as long as most of the senior citizens keep going with their lives with less than one thousand Euros per month cities cannot rely only on expensive technological and service solutions, we need more!

Structured self-organising system -shared leadership like in a flock of geese

“Watch a flock of geese turning and swooping in flight, undeterred by wind, obstacles and distance. There is no grand vizier goose, no chairman of the gaggle. They can’t call ahead for a weather report. They can’t predict what obstacles they will meet. They don’t know which of their number will expire in flight. Yet their course is true. And they are a flock.”

Hamel ((2002),253) Leading the revolution
