Farmers, practitioners or end-users as experts share power and responsibility and actively contribute to influence the process thereby resulting in joint ownership of the outcome.
Why Interactive Innovation?
To esmė yra paprasta: the traditional way of improving performance of farmers / miškininkai klausdami ekspertų / patarėjai išanalizuoti situaciją, diagnozuokite problemą ir sugalvokite sprendimą daugelyje situacijų nebepakanka. The complexity of many problems in agriculture and forestry requests for a bottom-up multi-stakeholder innovation approach.

Three topics will be addressed specifically
An i2connect survey among advisory organizations revealed three main concerns for interactive innovation:
1.Human resource aspects, t.y., įgūdžių ir kompetencijų, kurių jų patarėjams reikia interaktyvioms naujovėms.
2.Organizational aspects, t.y., interaktyvių inovacijų pasekmes darbo organizavimui.
3.Financial aspects, t.y., the impact that interactive innovation will have on the organization’s business model and continuity.
Who should participate?
