Abstract [en]

Innovation in the food sector is needed. This study addresses how to support learning around systematic innovation management in smaller firms within seafood, part of the highly regulated food sector. A collaborative change project, with four SMEs, a science park, and a research institute, aiming at enhanced innovation capabilities within the SMEs, was studied. The project included direct interventions in terms of training, dialogues, and coaching related to systematic innovation management ‒ in order to facilitate blue innovation. Empirical data was gathered in interviews and reflective field observations. Crucial factors to consider were to enhance the understanding of the systemic nature of innovation management and utilize visualizations as well as an innovation vocabulary, preferably related to ISO 56000 and ISO 56002. Further, it is also important to include diverse learning activities, while also ensuring a closeness to the firm’s current situation, and to focus on the progress that occurred.

Abstract [en]

To enhance theoretical understanding and practical skills in innovation management within the blue bioeconomy, this nine-month project targeted key professionals within smaller enterprises in the seafood industry on the west coast of Sweden. Participants from four SMEs, a science park, and a research institute came together for group sessions and tailored coaching. These sessions focused on applying practical tools and methods for innovation management, incorporating regular evaluations of progress, learning, and challenges. The main goal was to equip participants with essential knowledge and skills to strengthen their capabilities and promote business development, thus accelerating learning, development, and sustainable growth. By the project's conclusion, participants had significantly improved their ability to use new methods, had a greater eagerness to engage proactively with innovation, and a new tool for advancing systematic innovation management had been developed and introduced. The project has been co-financed by the European Union.

Abstract [en]

“If not now, when?” The UN’s sustainable development goals (SDGs) are gaining increasing attention, and there is wide acknowledge-ment that the challenges ahead, as well as the solutions needed, are often complex. In contrast, the historical strength of Quality Management (QM) lies in situations when the cause–effect relations can be analysed and understood, when technical expertise can provide the answer, where the application of “best practice” is helpful, and where order is a virtue. When dealing with complexity, leaders who tend to impose this kind of command-and-control style will often fail. Success, rather than this, comes from setting the stage, stepping back a bit, allowing patterns to emerge, curiously tracking what takes place, spreading what was learned, and scaling up success. Such aleadership and practice has been referred to as the fourth and called for “Emergence Paradigm” of QM. The purpose of this paper is to contribute with knowledge about how the Emergence Paradigm of QM comes into play when getting organisations and the world to take action on the 2030 Agenda. This paper is conceptual but includes experiences from dialogic action research in an emergent process of 60 Swedish authorities getting into collective action on the 2030 Agenda. As a result, the paper highlights how QM may contribute to realising the 2030 Agenda by dynamically combining the strengths of the past QM paradigms with new practices and mindsets related to complexity and emergence. It also provides new insights that may help when applying QM to take the bold and transformative steps urgently needed to shift the world onto a sustainable and resilient path.

Abstract [en]

The need for a radical transformation of society, business and way of life towards sustainability is by now widely accepted and acknowledged in the Mid Scandinavian region. This transformation also occurs as a major objective in the UN Sustainable Development Goals, both nationally and locally. However, after creating awareness, moving from knowing to doing is now the real challenge. Pushing for sustainability in strategies and visions, or even providing extensive funding for projects related to sustainable development is not doing the job fast enough. One obvious reason being that the more sustainable ideas and solutions of the future do require new levels of systems thinking and solutions on the level of the “whole system”. That in turn is dependent on connections and relations across traditional silos and organizational borders that currently does not exist. Therefore, stakeholders from Sweden and Norway are currently experimenting together on using a living and communicating network of Appreciative Inquiry Summits to accelerate sustainable, circular, and flourishing development in Scandinavia. The initiative is designed as an innovation project with hands-on exploring, prototyping, as well as researching how to accelerate the desired transformation. The project, called SMICE, is inspired by the “whole system in the room” approach of the amazing initiative “Sustainable Cleveland 2019”. However, as the context of this initiative is a large sparsely populated region, including also several countries, the set up now evolving is moving beyond just one annual big AI-summit towards more of a distributed system, “ecosystem”, or network of AI-summits and other resources that live, communicate and relate to each other continuously. During this presentation we will share our progress made, results, learnings, challenges, insights, and practices from our exciting and important journey so far.

Abstract [en]

Denna kvalitativa studien har två syften: att, i en utvald statlig myndighet, 1) undersöka organisationens villighet till innovation och 2) att utforska vad som är allmänt kännetecknande för att ta sig an innovation i organisationen. Utgångspunkten är sju anställdas perspektiv och upplevelser kring hur deras myndighet och organisation arbetar med innovation. Data är insamlad via intervjuer och två olika former av analysmetoder har använts. Resultaten från den första delstudien visar på att organisationens villighetsnivå i arbetet med innovation (vid studiens genomförande) ligger på nivå 4, förplaneringoch förflyttar sig i riktning mot nivå 5, förberedelser. Den andra delstudiens fenomenologiska resultat visar på en allmän upplevd psykologisk processviktig att tänka på i arbetet med att ta sig an innovationi organisationen. Denna psykologiska process visar att förväntanär kopplad till att ta sig an innovation och att det även finns förväntan kopplad till värdesättande och uppskattning; kapacitet och skicklighet; modig beslutsamhet; praktiskt görande och samskapande; nytt lärande; möjliggörande dialog och stärkande relationer. Tillsammans kan dessa vara viktiga riktningsgivare att tänka på för att framgångsrikt möta organisationens och de anställdas behov av att navigera och orientera sig i arbetet med att ta sig an innovation; att uppnå fullt ägarskap/professionalism inom innovation samt att säkra organisationens hållbara värdeskapande.

Abstract [en]

Purpose: Upcoming as well as mature industries are facing pressure as regards successfully managing operational excellence, and, at the same time, driving and managing innovation. Quality management concepts and practices’ ability to tackle this challenge have been questioned. It has even been suggested that there is a need to provide and promote an updated/changed, and even re-branded, version of Total Quality Management, merging quality management (QM) and innovation management (IM). Can such a shift then actually be spotted? The purpose of this paper is to explore and see if there are any signs suggesting that QM and IM actually are about to merge. Design/methodology/approach: The study is based on literature reviews, document studies and interviews. Findings: The paper highlights three signs indicating that QM and IM indeed are approaching each other, and that it is a movement driven from both sectors, e.g., in the work with new ISO-standards and the Toyota Kata framework. Originality/value: The indicated development has fundamental and extensive practical implications. It will for example have to be followed by a similar merging of the two fields in the educational system, and in the competences of future managers.
