4. Why a Strategy? Vision Opportunities Strategy Now Strengths

5. Workshop Process • One area at a time • Make sure every voice is heard • Co-createconcepts and words • Speak for yourownideas, not againstothers’ • The process manager holdsboth the baton and the pen • We’ll cover somegroundbutperhaps not all the way • There’smore support ifwewould like

6. Before We Start • My name is… • I feel like a (anonymous) • Prisoner – I don’twantto be here and I willhave a negative impactif I can! • Vacationer – Nice to be away from everydaywork so don’t ask metocontribute! • Shopper – Thismight be interesting and I’m sure I’llfindsomethingworthtakinghome! • Explorer – I reallyenjoyexploringthis and I promisetocontribute as much as I possiblecan!

7. Innovation Strategy 1. COncepts

8. Questions - Concepts • Whatdoes ”Innovation” and ”Research Utilization” meantous in our research group? • Whyshouldwe be involved in innovation as researchers? • Please note thatthisconcerns innovation as academicpractice, not innovation as a research topic!

9. From Research to Utilization ! What responsibility for utilization, should we take? ? Innovation What is beingutilized? What forms of utilization should we choose? Benefit in society Research outcomes

10. What is innovation in an academiccontext? • An innovation is utilized research basedknowledge. • Innovation is the process that leads to the utilizationof research basedknowledge. • An invention is a kind ofintellectual asset, and thus not an innovation.

11. Innovation Strategy 2. IMPACT

12. Questions – Impact (external) • What kinds of impact on or results in other organisations (private, public, NGO) would we like our utilization to lead to? • What have we achieved so far? • What are we really good at? • What kind of results do we not want to see? • Examples: • ”Our innovation aims at supporting product development and new business opportunities for the large telecommunication companies.” • ”Our research results will first and foremost be utilized by small and medium sized companies wanting to improve their productivity.”

13. Innovation Strategy 3. Target Groups

14. Questions – Target Groups • Who should be the prime receivers of our research results? • What have we achieved so far? • What are we really good at? • What kind of stakeholders do we not want to exploit our research results? • Examples: • ”Our research has the biggest positive impact potential in society through a close collaboration with larger private and public healthcare institutions.” • ”Our research provides an important fundament for decision-makers in the Swedish government.”

15. Innovation Strategy 4. Assets & Processes

16. Question - Processes • What and howshouldweutilizeour research? • What have we achieved so far? • What are we really good at? • What kind of processes do we not want to use? • Examples: • ”Wewill make sure alwaystoinvestigatepossible IPR options for the resultsweproduce.” • ”Ourstrategic ambition is to make our research resultsavailable as Open Source.”

17. Whatis beingutilized?

19. Innovation Strategy 5. Effects

20. Questions – Effects (internal) • What kinds of positive effects from utilization would we like to see on our own research? • What have we achieved so far? • What are we really good at? • What kind of effects do we not want to have? • Examples: • ”We would like our research utilization to lead to closer collaboration with more stakeholders in order to be able to widen our research to new areas.” • ”Through more attention in the media we can attract many more prominent researchers.” • ”By fulfilling our innovation objectives, our research becomes more competitive and can attract more funding by more industrial collaboration.”

21. Innovation Strategy 6. Image

22. Questions – Image • How do we want to be perceived from an innovation perspective? • By the academic world? • By others? • What do we have to offer and who is interested in that? • What have we achieved so far? • What are we really good at? • How do we not want to be perceived? • Examples: • ”We are regarded as the leading Swedish research unit producing research results that will make the IT infrastructure in public organisations significantly more efficient.” • ”We want to be regarded as a research group contributing to lower the cost of drug R&D and thereby making more medicine available to people with low income.”

24. Appreciation of Today’s Workshop

25. Relation To OtherStrategies • The Innovation Strategyshould be alignedtootherpoliciessuch as: • IP • EqualOpportunities • Sustainability • Ethics • And ofcourse, the research group’s Research Strategy!
