The i2connect project is all about encouraging interactive innovation processes that mobilize diverse actors such as farmers/foresters, svetovalci, raziskovalci, podjetja, NVO itd., ki so združili svoje znanje, spretnosti in izkušnje, to address a joint problem za katero iščejo rešitev. 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?
Utemeljitev tega je preprosta: the traditional way of improving performance of farmers / gozdarji s povpraševanjem strokovnjakov / svetovalci za analizo situacije, diagnosticirati težavo in poiskati rešitev v mnogih situacijah ne zadostuje več. The complexity of many problems in agriculture and forestry requests for a bottom-up multi-stakeholder innovation approach.
What is an i2connect Excellence Class?
The Excellence Class is a master class designed for managers in the field of agricultural advice and innovation. Inspiration from the i2connect project and findings and lessons learnt on interactive innovation will be complemented with participants’ experiences and ideas. Resulting in a shared vision on how to create a good biotope, in which the organization and its advisors are optimally equipped for guiding interactive innovation processes. Learn more in this video!
Three topics will be addressed specifically
An i2connect survey among advisory organizations revealed three main concerns for interactive innovation:
1.Human resource aspects, tj., spretnosti in kompetence, ki jih njihovi svetovalci potrebujejo za interaktivne inovacije.
2.Organizational aspects, tj., posledice interaktivne inovacije za delovno organizacijo.
3.Financial aspects, tj., the impact that interactive innovation will have on the organization’s business model and continuity.
Who should participate?
The Excellence Class is a master class designed for menedžerji in the field of agricultural advice in innovation.
Related to the three topics, we cordially invite three types of managers*:
1.vodje človeških virov
2.vodje ekip ali projektov
3.overall managers of advisory organizations
* If managers are not able to participate, delegating a senior advisor with close links to the management board may be the next-best alternative.
