exploring co-design - jisc's new approach to innovation
DESCRIPTION
Jisc has developed a new approach to innovation called co-design. This approach involves Jisc customers and stakeholders much more closely in every stage of the innovation process from deciding which issues and opportunities to address to managing projects and ensuring institutions benefit from outputs. Jisc piloted this approach during 2013 and this session will reflect on the pilot and the projects that were included. From 2014 onwards, all Jisc innovation work will be managed using co-design. This session will allow delegates to explore the co-design approach and help shape the themes that we will focus on this year.TRANSCRIPT

Wilson improvement areas
»‘The portfolio is too large’
»‘The application process is opaque’
»‘Few projects are translated into live services or take too long to develop’
»‘It is important for Jisc not to see itself primarily as a research organisation or to engage in a large number of speculative projects’
![Page 3: Exploring co-design - Jisc's new approach to innovation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062615/5483f9deb47959190d8b4ac5/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Wilson advice to Digital Futures
»Jisc activity focused on achieving large impact
»Activities clearly linked to the sectors’ priorities
»Services and projects… significantly reduced in number
»Research and development activity focused on horizon-scanning and thought leadership

Co-design principles
» Focused - do less better, be realistic
» User-centred – evolving process, involve users in projects
» Partnership – all projects co-designed, co-owned and co-implemented via an open and transparent process
» Agile - a light touch approach
» Experimental – taking proportionate risks, try new things

What do we mean by a theme?
» Make sense to Vice Chancellors and Principals without additional explanation;
» Is expressed as a problem, challenge or opportunity not as a project or solution;
» Produce something concrete within 3 years and will continue being productive beyond that timescale;
» Have solid evidence for demand or address a recognised problem.

Possible themes (suggested by Phil Richards)
» Lifting the student number cap• This may present opportunities to rethink student
record systems as models for recruiting students may change. This could directly impact the universities bottom line.
» MOOCs for the masses• Many colleges and universities are interested in the
possibilities offered by MOOCs. There may be benefits in offering a national MOOC platform.
» Scalable approaches to Research Data and Equipment• Universities need to develop processes and services
to manage research data and equipment. There may be benefits in providing some services as shared national services.

Over to you
»On the index cards on your table please write one theme per card
»On each card please write• A description of the theme in a sentence• Why you think it is important to address this theme
»You have 10 minutes to do this and then we will go around the room and ask people to tell us about their themes

Co-design example: Summer of student innovation 2013
“... And through the whole summer of student innovation I think you’ve really pushed the limits. You’ve brought innovation. You’ve spurred that flame of entrepreneurship within students, and that’s really important.”Robert Chokr (University of Bath) NovumSci

Scaling up Co-design
› Lessons learnt from Co-design pilot
› Risks of scaling up– Overloading individual Co-design partners– Failing to span all Jisc impact areas
› Organise under big strategic themes e.g.– Lifting the student number cap– Scalable approaches to research data, old and new
› Retro-fitting existing project portfolio
