RISE Policylabb – de första fem åren
- 2023
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this report, we have compiled our learnings and experiences of working with Policy Lab. Policy Labs have come about as an answer to the question "Can you work with policy and regulatory development in a better way than today?". Our answer to the question is a yes. Our hope with the report is that others will become interested and start their own Policy Lab. Abroad, there are many Policy Labs, but in Sweden there are only a few, which is why we believe there is room for more. There is not a given way to work with Policy Labs once and for all, but each Policy Lab is unique based on its context. Sweden's innovation agency Vinnova defines Policy Labs as follows: "Policy Labs can be explained as a group of actors with different competencies who want to develop a regulatory framework. In the Policy Lab, they use a set of user-centric methods and competencies to test, experiment, and learn in policy development."1 In our Policy Lab, we have worked in various research projects to: 1. analyse challenges/problems that arise between innovations, technology, market, and regulations, 2. develop one or more workable solutions and 3. interact with relevant actors to determine the next steps. What distinguishes our Policy Lab is that we never “own” the issue or solution. We must therefore always work with other actors who can take the results further. Our goal is to enable and skill people. This means that for us it is important to work concretely with real problems and needs owners and preferably test different solutions. We focus on the here and now perspective and not on what the future will look like in 10 years. It is about taking the next step forward towards the future, not creating the best rule, but instead creating the next rule. We also work consistently agile and use design as a method for problem solving. This means that the way we organize our work in the Policy Lab is circular and not linear. When it comes to using design as a method for problem solving, we use the concepts of "design thinking" and "double diamond". For us, it is also important that the members of the Policy Lab have different backgrounds and skills depending on what is needed in the individual project....

CO-DESIGNING TECHNOLOGICAL EXPLORATIONS IN DEVELOPING FUTURES LITERACY THROUGH SPECULATIVE DESIGN AND AN ARTISTIC INTERVENTION
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Proc. Des. Soc.. - : Cambridge University Press. ; , s. 957-966, s. 957-966
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Futures Literacy is the capability to imagine and understand potential futures to prepare ourselves to act and innovate in the present. This pilot study aims to understand how artistic methodologies and speculative design can support the collaborative exploration of futures in the context of work and contribute to developing peoples' capability of futures literacy. Our premise is that technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of things can augment people and support their needs at work. To illustrate this process, we have presented a collaborative method that integrates an artistic intervention with speculative design activities. We tested the method in a full-day workshop with seventeen (17) participants from a Swedish academy responsible for enabling learning and competence development at work in the healthcare sector. The results indicate that the artistic intervention, combined with the speculative design activities, can challenge current participants' perspectives and offer them new ways of seeing futures with technologies. These new ways of seeing reveal underlying premises crucial in developing the capability of futures literacy. © The Author(s)

Policylabb Smarta Fartyg
- 2022
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Swedish Shipping Policy Lab Smart ships, or Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships as they are also known, have a great potential to advance shipping and sustainable development through optimisation of operations and maintenance. In situations that pose a risk to humans or where humans tend to lose their concentration, smart ships can also contribute to increased safety onboard and for the environment. In short, smart ships are suitable for operations that are dirty, dull and dangerous. The Swedish Shipping Policy Lab was an initiative to support on-going projects within smart shipping with policy-developing activities with the ambition to strengthen Swedish competitiveness. The project has actively strived for a systematic approach to how shipowners, technology developers and authorities among others can foster policy development and innovation in relation to smart ships. As an outcome the project has identified three policies related to the investigated cases (see Appendix G for more details): 1. Navigational assistance from land – A shared statement by the Swedish Maritime Administration and the Swedish Transport Agency on the role of navigational assistance from land and the need to further investigate the service before it can be regulated in more detail. 2. The Ljusterö Ferry – Certification of ferries is commonly done in relation to an established and consistent set of technical requirements. For smart ships such as the new road ferries procured for the Ljusterö-connection it is reasonable to complement traditional certification with a safety case to ensure that the ship is seaworthy. 3. Smart maritime drones – Ships less than five meters long that do not carry passengers are excluded from national rules regulating the supervision performed by the Swedish Transport Agency. As long as there is no explicit need to inspect a specific ship, the probability of a supervision is low. If an inspection were to incur, it is necessary to show how the smart ship and its operation complies to applicable regulation in terms of laws and collision avoidance. Despite the maritime sector having a long tradition of international governance there are still no international instruments explicitly for smart ships. A conclusion from the policy lab is that while such work is ongoing, there is room for the flag states and their authorities to develop and operate smart ships in accordance with national policies. Or, to paraphrase, smart ships seem suitable for operations that are dirty, dull, dangerous and domestic.

The Swedish policy lab for maritime autonomous surface ships
- 2022
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Swedish policy lab for maritime autonomous surface ships, or smart ships, explored three use cases for developing policy in practice. The policies regard smart ships on national waters: one short-term written policy identifying the next shared step for two authorities to position remote navigational assistance as a new service, giving the maritime ecosystem one official position to relate to; one informal policy relying on a mutual trust, where information sharing between an operator of small, unmanned ships and the supervisory authority enables critical competence building; and one evolving policy on the process of certifying autonomous or remote operated functions using non-standardized technology. In conclusion, despite shipping being explicitly regulated internationally we found that there is substantial leeway for national policies regarding smart ships on national waters.

Design thinking as an enabler of innovation: Exploring the concept and its relation to building innovation capabilities
- 2013
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis deals with the concept of Design thinking (DT) and the building of innovation capabilities. DT has emerged as a management concept promising innovation inspired by design. However, the concept is poorly conceptualized and scarcely investigated in organizational settings, especially in relation to its potential role as an enabler of innovation. Building on empirical studies of companies claiming to use DT, the thesis aims at providing a better understanding of the concept, how it is used in innovation work, and its role in building innovation capabilities in large firms.The studies show large variety in the understanding and use of the concept, and its integration in and adaptation to existing practices. The concept of DT seem to be somewhat stuck in between the fields of innovation and design. On the one hand the concept can be seen as (over)simplifying the complexity of design practice; on the other hand, the results of this thesis show that use of DT is aligned with several practices highlighted by innovation scholars. The thesis makes two main theoretical contributions. First it argues for a performative perspective on DT that does not focus on what DT is or what value it has, but rather what it becomes and what it can do in various settings; thus putting focus on context. A conceptual model for how to understand DT as a boundary object is proposed, consisting of five core principles associated with a set of principles, practices, and techniques. It takes account of the fact that DT takes different shapes in different contexts, and accommodates to a variety of ways of applying and using DT.Second it argues that DT can play a role in building innovation capability in large firms. The studies show how a range of perceived values and effects of using DT are connected to elements presented in innovation capability theory; resources, processes, mindset and a strategic intent to innovate. It is argued also that the current status of the innovation capability of a firm can hinder or enable use of DT and the competences built, thereby influencing potential value resulting from its use. There are few previous examples in the literature of how innovation capabilities are built, and this thesis adds a new approach; building innovation capability through the long-term use of DT, and in interplay with the current capability of the organization. The thesis shows that the perceived effects of using DT go beyond practical innovation work, and argues that when managers consider using DT, it is critical to not consider the concept in isolation, or demand results too fast, but rather to take a systemic perspective, considering all aspects of resources, process and mindset. The thesis also paves the way for more research, both on the use of DT and on how innovation capability can be built.

Design thinking: Exploring values and effects from an innovation capability perspective
- 2014
-
Ingår i: Design Journal. - 1460-6925. ; 17:3, s. 403-424
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The concept of Design Thinking (DT) is becoming widespread and is seen as improving firm innovativeness. However, studies of the potential value of DT are scarce in the areas of both design and innovation research. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to a better understanding through investigating how companies that use DT in practice perceive the value it creates in their organizations. The paper builds on an interview study of large organizations in Germany and the US. We find that although some firms identified outcome-related values (such as new ideas, better products), many also underlined other benefits, more related to longer-term effects on competences, innovation processes and the mindset of company employees. We argue that for a company with a strategic intent to be more innovative, DT can be exploited in the development of long-term innovation capability through its contribution to the dimensions of resources, processes and mindset. We also propose the framework of innovation capability to discuss the values and effects of using DT.

Design thinking in innovation, in practice: the case of Kaiser Permanente
- 2016
-
Ingår i: EURAM conference proceedings. European Academy of Management, June 1-4, Paris.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Design Thinking (DT) as an innovation approach is gathering interest in management and scholarly debates, yet its potential contribution to innovation is vague, and a holistic view on innovation in DT-related literature is lacking. This paper investigates the integration of DT in a large organization, in order to understand its potential contribution to innovation. It is based on a qualitative case study of Kaiser Permanente that is using DT since ten years. Two examples of use are presented and analyzed using the Discovery-Incubation-Acceleration framework for describing innovation competencies (O’Connor and Ayers, 2005). The paper presents three main findings: first, it shows that DT is used in all aspects innovation to various extent, contradicting the view that DT is useful mainly in the front end. Second, it shows overlap between DT and improvement science, questioning the view that incorporating design in managerial settings is difficult due to a clash between logics. Third, the paper puts focus on individuals and teams using DT, opening up for a competence perspective and a discussion of the embodied experience of design thinkers.

Early Involvement of Industrial Designers in Product Development: Exploring Motives and Challenges
- 2009
-
Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The ability to develop and market products that customers value determines a firm’s competitiveness, and product development that aims at competitive advantage must addressdevelopment efficiency in a conscious way. From a strategic point of view, improvements in the early phases of product development, before a development project is launched, areemphasized, and there is a need to study the best way to organize front end teams, and what personal qualities are likely to facilitate front end performance.The role of industrial designers as mainly giving shapes to products has evolved, and both design scholars and practitioners advocate that the skills and practices of industrial designers can contribute to a better understanding of end-users and to creating solutions to their needs.Yet few firms fully understand where, how and when they can actually use design, which results in a fragmented design effort, and the organization does not achieve the full benefits from the possibilities with design.This thesis sets out to investigate the role of industrial designers in the early phases of product development, and takes its point of departure in an empirical study of two industrial manufacturing companies in Sweden and their internal and external design partners. The thesis deals with what motives companies might have for this early involvement and factors affecting design collaboration on an individual and inter organizational level.The results of this study showed three principal motives for companies to involve industrial designers in the front end: involving for innovativeness, involving for customer understanding, and involving for process facilitation through visualization. The thesis also showed manychallenges for a company setting out to include design in the front end. Key factors that were found to affect collaboration were generally of two types: related to the different professional cultures involved, and related to the position of design in the company. The main contributionof the thesis is that it offers an understanding of the use of industrial designers in a context that has been scarcely studied: the combination of industrial designers in the front end of product development in “non-designerly” companies. Rich case study examples illustrate bothpossible benefits and pit holes along the way.

Framing Design Thinking: The Concept in Idea and Enactment
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Creativity and Innovation Management. - : Wiley. - 0963-1690 .- 1467-8691. ; 25:1, s. 38-57
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The concept of design thinking (DT) has emerged in management debates as promising innovation inspired by the way designers work. Despite the growing interest in DT, it is a difficult concept to study due to the lack of coherence between what DT ‘is’ in academic and practical terms. While there are numerous normative and often process-focused depictions ofDT, they seem limited in their ability to account for what occurs in practice. Given the discussion of DT as a concept, and emerging discussion of its enactment, a framing is needed that acknowledges both aspects. This paper proposes a framing of DT that makes it researchable in both theory and practice, and discusses commonalities and discrepancies in how the concept is usually portrayed in the literature. The paper builds on an empirical interview study in six large organizations, which led to the development of a framework structure and the identification of five themes characterizing DT: User focus, Problem framing, Visualization, Experimentation and Diversity. Each theme is associated with specific principles/mindsets, practices and techniques. The main contribution of this paper is to propose a framework that includesDT both as an idea and as the enactment of the idea, inspired by the works of Latour.

Identifying Latent Needs: Towards a Competence Perspective on Attractive Quality Creation
- 2013
-
Ingår i: Total Quality Management and Business Excellence. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1478-3371 .- 1478-3363. ; 24:11-12, s. 1347-1363
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Achieving customer delight is at the heart of the quality paradigm, acknowledging the importance of understanding latent needs. While quality researchers have been focusing on methods for classifying attributes that meet already defined requirements, the process of identifying latent needs is seldom addressed. This paper attempts to operationalize attractive quality creation in its earliest stage by focusing on how to identify latent needs. The design literature takes a different approach to understanding latent needs, interpreted by the author as a ‘competence perspective’. Inspired by the competencies attributed to designers, this paper introduces this perspective into the investigation of attractive quality creation. Drawing on the theory of attractive quality, an analytical framework is proposed for investigating how a competence perspective in general, and design competencies in particular, may contribute to the identification of latent needs. It was discovered that while design competencies related to mindset seem to play important roles for the identification of latent needs, the quality literature – and in particular the literature on customer orientation - tends to be tool-oriented and lacks focus on mindset. Although many design competencies seem useful for understanding latent needs, it is questioned whether these are linked to specific professions.

Implementing design thinking – an exploratory study of large companies using design thinking in innovation efforts
- 2011
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of the 2011 Tsinghua-DMI Inter- national Design Management Symposium HK in Hong Kong, 2011..
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Despite the recent hype, the concept of design thinking still lacks a shared definition and practitioners are struggling to understand how it can be applied in their operations. Design thinking is often described as a method to create new value and innovation. So far, this argument mainly builds on a number of early success cases put forward by practitioners and design consultancies such as IDEO, but from an academic perspective there is still little empirical evidence that design thinking actually leads to innovation. This exploratory paper aims at empirically investigating current practices of implementing and using design thinking in innovation efforts in large companies. More specifically, it addresses how large companies that explicitly have tried to implement it perceive design thinking, the value it creates, and challenges linked to implementation. The paper builds on an interview study conducted in Germany and the US, with large firms that have chosen to apply design thinking in their innovation efforts. Preliminary findings from the study indicate that companies perceive design thinking in a variety of ways. Some benefits were identified such as a change in mindset, improved collaboration, a strong relation to users and iterative prototyping. A number of challenges were also put forward, mainly linked to the integration with existing processes, but also connected to the difficulties connected to the confusion around the concept itself.

Implementing Design Thinking in Large Organizations
- 2012
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of the IPDM Conference 2012, Manchaster..
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- esign thinking (DT) has been promoted as a user-centered approach to innovation, suggesting that any firm could learn from the way designers think and work. Although the concept has gained substantial interest among practitioners, there is little coherence around the concept in theory, and empirical studies of DT in organizational settings are very scarce. This paper reports the findings from an exploratory study of the use of DT in large organizations, including product, software, service and healthcare firms. Based on interviews with key informants this paper describes a variety of views on how DT was perceived, used, integrated into existing processes, and who the “design thinkers” are. Implications are drawn for researchers as well as managers interested in implementing DT in their organizations. Especially the difficulties to articulate the meaning of DT seem to have implications for theory and practice.

Navigating Complexity

Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Complexity is everywhere. It is in my body and between us. It is in the web of the organization and in the turmoil of the world. When we experience complexity as a problem, something that is overlooked, wrong or misunderstood, it is rare that we immediately know what it is. Complexity as possibility is not something different from complexity as a problem, it is just another quality that needs to be unpacked and understood.[...]

Perceptions of the value of Design Thinking in innovation in large firms
- 2013
-
Ingår i: EAD Conference 2013, Göteborg.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Recently, Design Thinking (DT) has become a widespread concept, heavily promoted for improving a firm’s innovativeness. Yet, our understanding regarding the potential value of DT is still limited, in both design and innovation research. The purpose of this paper is therefore to investigate how companies that are using DT in practice perceive the value and the effects it creates in their organizations. The paper builds on a study of large organizations in Germany and the US, including 51 semi-structured interviews in 6 large firms. Early findings indicate that although many firms pointed at the expected outcome-related values (such as new ideas, better products), some also underlined other benefits, more related to effects on the innovation process, collaboration practices and company culture. It is thus argued that in addition to known short-term benefits, DT may also contribute to the strengthening of the long-term innovativeness of firms.

The Challenges of Using Design Thinking in Industry - Experiences from Five Large Firms
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Creativity and Innovation Management. - : Wiley. - 0963-1690 .- 1467-8691. ; 25:3, s. 344-362
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Design Thinking (DT) is advocated as a user-centred approach to innovation, based on the way designers think and work. Despite being increasingly promoted as an approach to innovation, there is still little evidence of successful impact. Rather, indications suggest that firms find implementation challenging. The purpose of this paper is to analyse challenges of using DT in light of literature on innovation barriers, in order to discuss whether there is something unique about DT as a concept that makes it particularly challenging to use. The paper is based on an interview study of five large firms that all have at least five years of experience of using DT. The analysis shows that several of the perceived challenges can be linked to known barriers to innovation. However, other challenges have not previously been described in the innovation literature, and the paper suggests that there are some unique aspects of DT that makes it particularly challenging for firms to integrate it in innovation work. These are related to its core themes: user focus, problem framing, experimentation, visualization and diversity. Additionally, the paper contributes with an empirically based categorization of challenges that managers will find useful if they want to implement design thinking in their organizations.

When cultures collide : What can we learn from frictions in the implementation of design thinking?

-
Ingår i: The Journal of product innovation management. - : John Wiley and Sons Inc. - 0737-6782 .- 1540-5885. ; 39:1, s. 44-65
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Increasing interest in the use of design thinking (DT) in innovation has called into question its integration in organizational settings. We draw upon literature on management innovation and new practice implementation that highlights potential cultural conflicts between the values and assumptions underpinning the new practice and the culture of the organization that adopts it. We investigate the cultural fit between DT and the adopting firm through qualitative studies of 13 cases of DT implementation in large established firms complemented with data collected during eight workshops with DT practitioners and scholars. We abductively propose a cultural archetype of DT comprising eight dimensions: subjective and aesthetic ways of knowing, long-term and nonlinear views about time, intrinsic motivation and sense of purpose, flexibility and change, relationships, empathy, and emotions at work, collaboration and inclusion, team autonomy and informality, and external orientation. We identify challenges and consequences associated with cultural misfits encountered in the implementation of DT: lack of legitimacy, lack of depth, disengagement, incrementalism, poor teamwork and alienation, collaboration lip service, micromanaged processes, and lack of external orientation. We thus (i) develop a characterization of DT by providing a detailed cultural archetype that we discuss relative to previous literature on DT and (ii) enrich the research on the recursive relationship between organizational culture and DT implementation, contributing to research on emotions in management and innovation culture. We also (iii) contribute to research on the challenges encountered by firms when adopting DT, extending the research on difficulties linked to cultural misfits when implementing new practices. Finally, we (iv) contribute to research on practice implementation and management innovation by highlighting the interplay between cultural fit, legitimacy, and the implementation climate.

Recruitment Equality & Diversity Opportunities : Slutrapport för forskningsprojektet ’Rekrytering till sjöfarten – måste sjömän vara män?’
- 2021
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- När #metoo-rörelsen svepte över världen startade kvinnor i sjöfarten i Sverige ett eget upprop som lyfte ett stort antal frågor rörande den sociala arbetsmiljön ombord, detta blev under 2018 startskottet för initiativet Vågrätt.Vågrätt är ett samarbete mellan branschföreningar/arbetsgivarorganisationer, fackföreningar, akademi, myndigheter, studentföreningar och ideella organisationer inom den svenska sjöfartssektorn med målet att skapa en sjöfartssektor med arbetsmiljö i världsklass, med en nollvision om trakasserier och diskriminering för alla som arbetar inom sjöfartssektorn i Sverige.Med grund i detta startades forskningsprojektet REDO (Recruitment Equality & Diversity Opportunities) i januari 2020 som ett samarbetsprojekt mellan RISE Research Institutes of Sweden och Sjöfartsverket med en vision att förbättra den sociala arbetsmiljön ur ett jämställdhetsperspektiv.Syftet med REDO är att skapa en trygg och inkluderande sjöfartsindustri där fler kvinnor ska vilja söka jobb till sjöss, samt känna sig motiverade och inspirerade att stanna kvar. Detta är ett förhållningssätt som behöver omfatta alla, från högsta ledningen till varje medarbetare.I detta projekt har vi använt Design Thinking som den övergripande, användarcentrerade problemformuleringen och lösningsmetoden. För att identifiera drivkrafter och hinder för ökad mångfald och rekrytering av fler kvinnor inom sjöfarten har vi genomfört undersökningar, intervjuer och workshops med kvinnor som arbetar eller har arbetat i sjöfartsbranschen i olika roller. En benchmarkstudie av andra mansdominerade branscher och deras mångfaldsstrategier genom marknadsföring och kommunikation, mentorskap och nätverksinitiativ, samt förändring av befintliga normer och arbetskulturer, har gett inspiration till hur sjöfartsnäringen kan hantera jämlikhet och mångfald för att förbättra den sociala arbetsmiljön ombord.Denna rapport avser att sammanfatta de resultat och insikter som genererats genom detta projekt och att ge rekommendationer för hur sjöfartsnäringen kan fortsätta att främja mångfald genom att erbjuda en social arbetsmiljö som är byggd på tre hörnstenar av trygghet, inkludering och motivation. Mer detaljerad dokumentation av resultat från olika genomförda studier kompletterar denna rapport som fyra bilagor.

- Amyloid-β (Aβ) is hypothesized to facilitate the spread of tau pathology beyond the medial temporal lobe. However, there is evidence that, independently of Aβ, age-related tau pathology might be present outside of the medial temporal lobe. We therefore aimed to study age-related Aβ-independent tau deposition outside the medial temporal lobe in two large cohorts and to investigate potential downstream effects of this on cognition and structural measures. We included 545 cognitively unimpaired adults (40-92 years) from the BioFINDER-2 study (in vivo) and 639 (64-108 years) from the Rush Alzheimer's Disease Center cohorts (ex vivo). 18F-RO948- and 18F-flutemetamol-PET standardized uptake value ratios were calculated for regional tau and global/regional Aβ in vivo. Immunohistochemistry was used to estimate Aβ load and tangle density ex vivo. In vivo medial temporal lobe volumes (subiculum, cornu ammonis 1) and cortical thickness (entorhinal cortex, Brodmann area 35) were obtained using Automated Segmentation for Hippocampal Subfields packages. Thickness of early and late neocortical Alzheimer's disease regions was determined using FreeSurfer. Global cognition and episodic memory were estimated to quantify cognitive functioning. In vivo age-related tau deposition was observed in the medial temporal lobe and in frontal and parietal cortical regions, which was statistically significant when adjusting for Aβ. This was also observed in individuals with low Aβ load. Tau deposition was negatively associated with cortical volumes and thickness in temporal and parietal regions independently of Aβ. The associations between age and cortical volume or thickness were partially mediated via tau in regions with early Alzheimer's disease pathology, i.e. early tau and/or Aβ pathology (subiculum/Brodmann area 35/precuneus/posterior cingulate). Finally, the associations between age and cognition were partially mediated via tau in Brodmann area 35, even when including Aβ-PET as covariate. Results were validated in the ex vivo cohort showing age-related and Aβ-independent increases in tau aggregates in and outside the medial temporal lobe. Ex vivo age-cognition associations were mediated by medial and inferior temporal tau tangle density, while correcting for Aβ density. Taken together, our study provides support for primary age-related tauopathy even outside the medial temporal lobe in vivo and ex vivo, with downstream effects on structure and cognition. These results have implications for our understanding of the spreading of tau outside the medial temporal lobe, also in the context of Alzheimer's disease. Moreover, this study suggests the potential utility of tau-targeting treatments in primary age-related tauopathy, likely already in preclinical stages in individuals with low Aβ pathology.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- At Kaiser Permanente, design thinking found its way into a relatively risk-averse, data- and evidence-driven healthcare nonprofit. Nevertheless, this is the story of a very pragmatic approach driven by a small enthusiastic team. The initiative's objective was to prove the value of a human-centered approah and build capability using storytelling and training. Accordingly, the projects and the people involved were critical and deliberate. Kaiser Permanente chose projects that featured diversity in locations and business units, a direct impact on customers and front-line staff, and a possibility to share results within and outside the organization. The small team in charge of design thinking considered the sscale-up of the initiative as a design challenge. It was open to adopting other methodologies, including behavior design and behavioral economics, Agile and Lean Six Sigma. The importance of using external communication to fuel an internal fire and gain legitimacy helped to grow the "movement" and the central role of leadership for design-thinking implementations helped to build it into a legitimate trail-blazing practice.
