taking the full advantage of strong seamless interactivity across all stakeholders, including users, across the whole innovation ecosystems.

and unanticipated opportunities. As the CEO of Supercell, Ilkka Paajanen tells us‘one never knows a priori which product will be a breakthrough'.

frictionless innovation space where all the stakeholders can share their ideas, prototype them and scale up the successes rapidly.

And, of course all stakeholders should be able to build and contribute to the innovation ecosystems by bringing in their competencies,

and also their hearts, with growing trust in genuinely experimenting, prototyping and making success together.

Sharing is the best guarantor for growing the pie for all stakeholders. I believe this edition of the yearbook gives you stimulus

Real world settings, user experience and clear process to embed the feedback in the design process are shown in several practical cases, in logistics, well-being and green services context.

as it creates entirely new opportunities for configurable, user-centric‘things'.'The article discusses also the new business model opportunities in light of a case study from the banking sector.

Carayannis further elaborates on the quadruple helix innovation model which encompasses the mash-up innovation and the multilevel policy approach.

and reflects on the more complex approach of quintuple helix innovation environments! It is extremely interesting to see the drivers needed for the transformation to the new,

including new ventures, products, services and processes. Turkama and Schaffers elaborate in their article on the evolution of large-scale public-private research and innovation initiatives;

and demand, innovation ecosystem thinking so that environments function properly. As example, they analyse the Future Internet PPP funded by the European commission during the period 2011-2016.

In her article, Lin discusses the aftermath of the financial crisis in the light of the excellent work done on knowledge capital, structural intellectual capital and the effects on national competitiveness.

Policy measures from different parts of the world are set in context of increasing intellectual capital.

1 4 In the article there are good references to a wider set of studies targeting the major OECD countries (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) regarding intellectual capital and competitiveness.

Open data and open platforms create a strong raw material basis for new enterprises and young people to create their own jobs.

This new interaction model leads to a more inclusive society based on joint wins across all stakeholders.

Chatterjee describes quite an interesting approach to entrepreneurship and growth. The Openeyif (Open European Youth Innovation Framework) sets a blueprint for an open innovation ecosystem for young entrepreneurs focusing on Open Innovation as process.

The roadmap includes presentation of new tools supporting entrepreneurship and interaction in the open space as well.

'Crowd-based assets are a new source of innovation and economic growth. Many organisations are aware of this,

The article shows also by several examples how crowdfunding and crowd sourcing has worked, and which are the pain points.

(and remove) the hinders for future innovative technology approaches and business models. Examples of implementing new technologies in virgin environments are shown also to highlight the importance of‘new'thinking in all professions.

As a good and inspiring end for the yearbook we have Roos'article! Innovation capability in organisations is the most important asset in the modern enterprises.

How to maintain and preferably increase the innovation capability by acting differently, organising the enterprise differently

and developing values and practises for creativity? How do we transform our organisations from data-to design-driven innovation?

These challenges provide a significant opportunity to create new shared value through innovation. Society's challenges may well reflect the transition to innovative solutions,

and sustainability needs is creating a unique opportunity to enable an explosive increase in shared value due to innovation.

it will be dwarfed by the efforts of teams that enable a wide spectrum of stakeholders to take on active roles.

Silos will be replaced with creative commons, shared societal capital, and the systematic harvesting of experimental results.

There is significant opportunity for growth based on Europe's strong hubs and regions that garner high scores on measures of innovation, including competitiveness and other Information Communication Technology (ICT) maturity indices.

It is important to note that Europe is traditionally stronger in research output and weaker in innovation take-up (i e.,

and product adoption and thus enable much higher returns on research investments. Joint Pathfinding occurs where research laboratories and business groups share resources, risks,

when a wider spectrum of stakeholders participates, is heard more frequently from world leaders, as the following comments reveal.

No company alone would have the incentive to (make this investment) on its own, but together companies are willing to move forward'(5). The EU Commissioner for Research, Innovation,

'At last, in the Western economies, there is recognition that a long-term view is needed. As stated in the Obama Administration's Strategy for American Innovation,

‘A short-term view of the economy masks under-investments in essential drivers of sustainable, broadly-shared growth.

The role of the public sector is to create the environments for OI2 where the mash-up of the needed components can happen in a frictionless environment.

It is also important to create efficient political and legal environments to catalyse innovation and experimentation.

and services that are adopted quickly. Once again we want to stress the importance of the creativity beyond organisational boundaries as essential to creating valuable components for innovation from a societal (market) perspective due to new co-creation processes across all stakeholders.

The EU's Open Innovation Strategy and Policy Group (OISPG) unites industrial groups, academia, governments

and will help achieve broader scale innovation benefits for larger numbers of stakeholders. In OI2 there is also a cultural shift away from resisting change and toward innovation and the creation of shared value.

When communication bandwidth increases, trust builds quickly among collaborators. According to Karl-Erik Sveiby, greater bandwidth and accelerated trust lead to the creation of more innovative options as more shared ideas are activated.

Recent experiments such as the creation of wikis demonstrate how powerful communication networks can be when enabling large groups of individuals to collaborate.

Indeed, many successful innovations are adaptions of existing ideas, products or services which are adopted already and successful in some other sphere.

‘Innovation is the fusion of a user need and a technological opportunity. Ultimately there is only successful innovation when a user

Doblin's research showed that often the highest returns from innovation come from business model innovation, ecosystem orchestration, user experience innovation,

The growth of the global app. economy is one such example where an industry that did not exist a decade ago is being fuelled by millions of individuals working as developers.

In Europe alone, the EURAPP report estimates the revenues in the European App. economy were EUR 17.5 billion with contract development work being EUR 11.5 billion of this.

By 2018 the European app. economy is projected to grow to EUR 63 billion with contract development work growing to EUR 46 billion.

and development of innovative products and services where producers and consumers both participate. An engagement platform is the place where people

and their environment join so that co-creation can begin. An engagement platform can be as concrete as a brick

OI2 focuses on creating increased social capital, enabling broader boundary spanning and the creation of new activation triggers for innovation options.

That is where you find the creative ferment which drives a modern dynamic economy'.'From OI2 perspective we need to go beyond the rather monolithic cluster thinking to multidisciplinary ecosystems,

the most and demanding users of the ideation and innovation processes. In this case, users are academics, industrialists, members of government,

Highexpectation entrepreneurship occurs when disruptive technologies meet high ambition, creativity and hard work. HEE is especially important as according to a report from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor,

HEE's contribute about 80%of all new jobs created. When HEE's attach themselves to fast moving ecosystems

The first phase is supporting early prototypes and feasibility studies to see whether the idea is worth developing further.

and thus reinforce the flow from research and ideation to new products and services. Innovation vouchers can be powerful

when looking at future services of public interest becoming more user-centric. Competitions have been proven to be successful mobilising very large communities to solve the problems published.

Example of this is, e g. the Ansari prize for commercial space travel. Commission has decided to bring this instrument into practise also in H2020

supported by other actions focusing on web entrepreneurship, young innovators and interlinking policy actions with H2020 as well.

including societal capital, creative commons, and communities.##3: Innovation Ecosystem Orchestration and Management Innovation has moved out of the lab and into an ecosystem that crosses organizational boundaries.

Innovation Co-creation and Engagement Platforms Co-creation includes all stakeholders, including citizens, users, or customers, in the development of innovative solutions.

An engagement platform provides the necessary environment, including people and resources, for co-creation.##5:

User Involvement, User Centricity, User Experience The role of the user has changed from being a research object,

it is customers adopting. In OI2 there is purposeful effort focused on driving adoption of innovations.#

Sustainable Intelligent Living Beyond designing for user experience, OI2 defines innovation as co-creation of services

Business model Innovation Business model innovation is about defining and designing new models for capturing business value.

Osterwalder & Pigneur's (2010) business model canvas is a good tool for visualizing and prototyping business models and incorporates techniques such as visual thinking, design thinking, patterns, and platforms.#

and innovation environments when we moved from the traditional approaches to the Open Innovation 2. 0 paradigm.

and the environments have changed all fundamentally. It is important to see how these changes in the drivers for success have led to different policy approaches by all stakeholders.

Also the roles and collaboration of stakeholders is very different from the past. Introduction The traditional innovation approach is based on linear innovation,

where there are clear phases from the ideation leading through research, development and piloting to scaling up of results.

Very often this approach is based based on science excellence or focused on improvements of the existing products or processes.

which lead to sustainable societal and economic development through new products and services, even in entirely new sectors at the crossroads of old disciplines.

Innovation is increasingly based on cocreation processes across all stakeholders, including the end-users. Here we need to have a look at one of the most important assets in Europe for growth:

which from the very beginning the user (s) communities co-create the new products and services.

and services they need, and the suppliers get scalable products and services. If this co-creativity and prototyping in real world settings would not take place there would be a real risk that the development work would lead to a win-lose setting between the existing players in the market,

and no new markets would be created either. Cross-disciplinary innovation together with prototyping and experimentation is bringing forward the required dynamics.

which enable business model (more generally value creation model) innovations. The areas of business model innovation together with the new markets emergence are clearly dimensions/realms in which

we Europeans, can do/perform much better. How to achieve the fluidity and frictionless environments for multi stakeholder trials, including legal

and policy elements is the key to root in the European mind-set. We need to speak about openness for innovation, innovation 2. 0 culture,

we realised that one of the critical elements is the scalability of the work, which naturally results in increased success rate.

Only by moving to the quadruple helix model where the innovation process happens‘out there'with real people in real environments we can speed up the successful results and kill the bad ones in time.

When products integrate into services and get more complex, we have seen networking between suppliers to be established, e g. in the automotive sector,

not as earlier when the services were determined by organisational structures. In turn, this also means that the end users will be much more dominant in the innovation process for modern products and services, especially on their functional level.

The innovation process change affects also radically the management styles of successful companies. We have plenty of examples where an authoritarian control-type of management is replaced by strong leadership.

It is the courage to experiment and prototype. It is the courage to fail and scale.

All use cases appertain to the domain of the Internet of things (Iot) based services. Results show that

and sharing of innovation options constitute a significant competitive advantage with broader scale benefits that leverage and benefit all stakeholders.

I want to see the biographies and the sociologies of the great customers and clients of innovation.

what customers adopt.''Pia Erkinheimo-Mennander, Head of Innovation Crowdsourcing at Nokia, explains (3: innovation failure rates have reached as much as 86 percent,(4) primarily because of the lack of end-user adoption;

'However, it requires all stakeholders, including users, to be engaged along the design process for co-creating,

as well as decreasing investment needs for SME, micro-organisations and start-ups, since they can share resources without mobilising so much 23 venture capital;

and share access to a broader base of ideas, especially for large companies. Since 2006, the LL approach was applied gradually within EU projects for involving all stakeholders, especially users and also policy-makers,

at the earlier stage of R & D. A LL is defined often as a usercentred open innovation ecosystem integrating research

in order to result in the most appropriate UX while sharing knowledge and crystallising the collective work of the LL stakeholders.

the Iot based Green Services use case was launched with the innovative idea of getting real-time air quality that leads to multiple usage scenarios involving different categories of users, such as:

artefacts and/or innovative scenarios as sessions of collective creativity involving all concerned stakeholders and especially users;

explore alternative scenarios in setting the scene through the use of different immersive techniques within a live environment;

experiment alternative scenarios in prototyping concrete application/services through the use of a technological platform within a real-life environment;

and discussion with all stakeholders of potential refinements in order to prepare the next iteration until it reaches the proper level of user adoption.

and explore value propositions that are intended to contribute to the increase of user adoption of innovative products/services.

or empathical value through people connections and interactions, economical value with a low-cost or luxury business model or technological value with a low or high-tech solution.

for example in view of solving societal issues (e g. smart city services) but merely requires immersive techniques/technologies for engaging all stakeholders, especially users, in the environment of augmented creativity.

Use Cases All use cases belong to the domain of the Internet of things (Iot) based services, namely:

Logistic Services (LS), Wellbeing Services (WS), Green Services (GS), Retail Services (RS), Environmental Services (ES) and Healthcare Services (HS.

The logistics Use Case The logistics use-case, set up within the BIBA and Logdynamics Living Lab (LL) environment,

and encourages stakeholders to freely explore alternatives for increasing safety and Figure 5: The Logistic Use Case 28 O P E N I N N O V A t I O N y E A r B o O k 2

The activity in the Media scenario experimentation phase consisted of the investigation of the outcomes gained from the co-creation stage and the subsequent development into prototypes and mock-ups for validation.

The Wellbeing Use Case 29 The Green Services Use Case The Green Services Use case managed by Inria for ICT Usage Lab in Nice aimed at co-creating green Iot-based services

with a set of stakeholders on air quality and noise measurement via citizen sensing. During the XD process involving 50 active users,

and the customers who volunteered to be participants could use NFC phones even their own one

and other information from the books and use the other services provided by the smart shopping experience.

The pilot was using Iot technologies in combination with mobile communication. Mobile handsets were used, and local proximity communication NFC was combined with remote mobile channels,

to identify products and retrieve relevant information from back office servers. NFC both its reader-writer function and its card emulation capability was used also for smart couponing services as well. 30 O P E N I N N O V

A t I O N y E A r B o O k 2 0 1 4 The Environmental Services Use Case The Environmental services use case focuses

on an application of ambient intelligence methods and Iot-based technologies namely the Smart Home approaches and devices, into an office environment.

This use case is based on LL codesign and user experience monitoring for finding a proper balance between the work environment settings, individual comfort of office employees, work efficiency,

and reduction of energy consumed by an office during regular work hours. In accordance with these high-level objectives, pilot application was designed by INT

and the developed Smart Office prototype was deployed to the testing office room located in premises of RWE IT Slovakia,

an application partner for the Environmental services use case. The pilot was implemented and installed in the testing office room.

which hosts services interfacing the installed sensors and devices, is built on the Arduino platform and an embedded computer that remotely communicates with the Smart Office application server,

The Environmental Services Use Case The Healthcare Services Use Case The Cardiovascular diseases (CVDS) are globally number one among those causing death:

The Retail Services Use Case 31 collected in it and Medical Doctor had access to them after certain amount of time.

The first Bulgarian prototype (TEMEO) of the cardio belt monitored online 24 hours per day was developed three years ago by Security Solutions Institute.

This prototype became the basis for further development of the SHSB system. The SHCB pilot had been selected after thorough analyses considering the public needs not only in Bulgaria but also in Europe wide,

the level of the necessary development and the possible impact of the product for overcoming the current gaps and lacks of the existing prototype.

Top-down because the holistic UX model guides project stakeholders in foreseeing the types of value and corresponding user experience they would like to design in their Iot related product/service.

Overall, it has increased significantly the user acceptance and consequently the potential user adoption of the innovative IOT-based services.

Developing a Business model As the current margin for financial institutes is decaying, a new possible business model is very important.

Might the entry into hardware be a good move for financial institutions? Selling hardware is totally different from a service offering.

Interaction with hardware has a huge potential to change the entire business model of the economic region:

Philips Design and ABN AMRO Dialogues Incubator launched a first financial wearable concept car. The tool, Rationalizer was used to enhance the psychological knowledge of a customer.

as a tool for taxi drivers and other SME's that could not connect to the regular banking payment systems due to costs and work environment.

This will make more sense to the customers, who will experience this as an extension of the integrated system of a financial institution.

This will also be great source of opportunity to scale and broaden the marketing with lower costs of investments.

It also made clear just how interdependent and inter-linked the EU's economies are.

Greater economic policy coordination (1) across the EU will help Member States to address these problems and boost growth and job creation in the future.

The Europe 2020 Strategy (2) is a comprehensive economic policy agenda focusing on three priorities: smart, sustainable,

This new EU strategy is about delivering growth that is (a) smart, through more effective investments in education, research and innovation;(

b) sustainable, thanks to a decisive move towards a low-carbon economy; and (c) inclusive, with a strong emphasis on job creation and poverty reduction.

and to create conditions required for a more competitive economy. Such an approach aims to help Member States and their regions to deliver higher levels of employment, productivity,

as well as public and private investments. While some regions are quickly advancing with the development of an original research and innovation smart specialisation strategy (RIS3),

RELATIONSHIPS: Here we distinguish between two main types of relationships as the social evolutionary mechanisms inducing change in Triple Helix systems:

collaboration and conflict moderation (including provision of R & D and consultancy services, competence-building,

and changing organisations and/or institutions, networking, technology transfer or acquisition of goods and services through market or non-market interactions,

of the era of the Internet and more open societies and economies (varieties of capitalism).

This new emerging divide represents both a challenge and an opportunity. While very different in nature, both models present a unique chance to better understand the principles of knowledge economy

and society learning in various institutional and socioeconomic environments. They also allow implementing more effectively innovation policies

and practices and improving the mechanisms of public engagement and deliberation. Given the fluidity and the speed of change in most (social economic,

and engages all sectors of the economy and society. Such a model is seen as the key for future sustainable growth and prosperity.

Policy initiatives such as S3 allow regional and national policymakers to focus on a number of core processes in the knowledge economy and society,

The Fifth Report on Economic, Social and Territorial Cohesion prepared by the European commission (2010) has advocated further the importance of engaging fully relevant local and regional stakeholders, social partners,

and to further the knowledge-based economy (13). The established Triple Helix model is a strong environment of parallel relationships between (national or regional) authorities, the wider business community (industry),

and academia (including other researchfocused institutions). This approach places more emphasis on the role of each one of these categories of actors in the innovation process:

In line with this perspective, new innovative products, services and solutions are developed with the involvement of users in their role as lead users, codevelopers and co-creators (20.

which then connect users with their stakeholders across industry, academia, or government (21). In turn, the role of actors in the other three helices would be supporting citizens in such innovation activities (e g. to provide tools, information,

Furthermore, industrial players and public sector stakeholders would then be able to exploit the innovations developed by citizens.

It should also ensure a more effective and complementary use of EU investments in the regions

and help channel private capital into regional smart specialisation niches. The RIS3 approach also maintains that through application of horizontal forms of multilevel Figure 2:

The knowledge system creates and distributes knowledge. The knowledge system can potentially influence the other societal systems by supporting

The political system is able to influence the economic system directly through economic policy, but in many cases, the political system can do this even more efficiently through innovation policy.

As mentioned, the economic system, that is, business and firms, act in accordance with a rationale of profit,

‘Creative Knowledge Environments'(Hemlin et al. 2004) and‘creative class'(Florida 2004) are relevant concepts in this context.

In the view of Carayannis and Campbell, the fourth Helix highlights a demand for innovation policy to‘present'itself to the public through media,

They recognise that there is more to innovation than high tech: the Sauna also has design and knitting factories.

They realise that promoting entrepreneurship is a matter of changing culture as much as providing money.

The centrepiece of their innovation system is a collection of business accelerators, partly funded by the government and partly by private enterprise,

These were designed to catalyse innovation to become a value driver value defined as a new generation of entrepreneurial Europeans, new ventures, new products,

and sometimes disruptive, services and products return to the people. As a result, the public debate regarding the acceleration of innovation is restricted often to specific requests for example to increase budgets for academic research,

which is translated in turn to applied research leading to prototypes picked up by industry that markets the product to customers.

In reality there are enormous efforts of complex networks needed to secure smart investment, to provide interdisciplinary connection between academia, research institutes, businesses, local and national authorities, nonprofit sector and to a growing degree of end users.

Many people not involved in this process are shocked often to learn that the development of a single novel product may need a private investment that can reach a level of hundreds of EUR millions as in the case of some pharmaceuticals

that communication between people of different skills and background gives rise to breakthroughs and last but certainly not least,

such as free flow of products and services, capital, talent and knowledge, and its existing tremendous innovation capacity.

Barriers to US venture investment in UK Internet and digital businesses, Nesta Report, June 2013 Some of the questions raised in the debate were as follows:

Could entrepreneurship be an integrative force for the Knowledge Triangle components? Could it act as a facilitator and accelerator of different kinds of flows across the Triangle?

What could entrepreneurship mean in the specific context of the EIT and its KICS? For example, how would this concept materialise in a new funding model

and trust-driven governance by the EIT towards its KICS? How would it create value for large industry through entrepreneurship, open innovation learning environments,

or corporate venturing? What would be the right model for entrepreneurial education for engineers and scientists?

How to shorten the time from labs to markets and society? The concept of value creation brought a vivid discussion among Board members representing all the Knowledge Triangle.

which is different for diverse stakeholders collaborating in such an open innovation environment. We realised that it is yet different for a university professor who also would like to start a company

The discussion on value creation strengthened the role of entrepreneurship as the very process during

we can learn that innovative companies can create value not necessarily built on revenues and profits.

It means that there is no direct correlation between revenues, profits and company valuation. Even 80 or 90 percent of all biotech companies have no regular revenues

no profits, do not even have a product on the market but they still convey very important economic value as well as social value developing knowledge,

educating employees and tackling public health challenges. Not welcomed by all members and initially with some reluctance,

and unanimously backed up the notion that focusing the innovation strategy of the EIT on entrepreneurship could be its unique selling proposition

This recognized the complex reality of an open innovation environment in which all stakeholders have their own interests

and goals and they all contribute to value creation. The EIT and its KICS State of the art and First achievements The EIT has defined itself as a high impact innovation investment institute.

This novel entrepreneurial Institute is seed to trans-European ecosystems 65 where research, business and higher education come together on topics of societal challenges.

These strive, in the long term, to create trust from venture capital and other investors (6). In 2009, only one year after its setup,

EIT ICT Labs innovates in the areas of future information and communication society. It has developed a‘catalyst-carrier model'that is based on the EIT funding as a catalyst for leveraging existing ICT capabilities and resources in Europe.

It is a long investment and there needs to be at least some warranty to the investors.

Furthermore, the KIC's incubator is hosted by‘Creapolis',the ESADE Business school innovation centre in Sant Cugat.

The co-location leverages preexisting large investments to develop national industrial clusters such as Capenergies and Tenerrdis.

thus understanding that an open innovation environment needs to have an inroad for ideas from the peripheries.

The former relates to a businesslike assessment process of the KICS'strategic visions, operational capabilities and business plans.

Taking into account the very nature of the open innovation environment which is competition and collaboration, creative ways of finding synergies,

to accelerate the flow of people, knowledge, and capital between the networks and to interlink them will exponentially enrich each and every player including those at the very peripheries.

Early Learning, Next Steps & Future Perspectives of the EIT and its KICS As of 2014, the three existing KICS operate as network enterprises,

with their co-location nodes becoming switching points in the European scheme of overlapping academic,

industrial, venture capital and other networks. They are driven business towards financial self-sustainability so that when in the longterm, the EIT funding stops,

Joseph Schumpeter referred to an entrepreneur as a driver of economy who by combining assets (including technologies) in new ways creates new opportunities, new markets, new economic values and effectively new demand and supply curves.

We celebrate their success with special entrepreneurship awards. The winners of the 2012 and 2013 competitions were Christopher Williams (Naked Energy) and Dominik Peus (Antaco) from Climate-KIC;

Rosa Vilarasau (Noem) and Lionel Chaverot (Enerstone) from KIC Innoenergy; and Patrick Duessel and partners (Trifense) and David Tacconi (Corehab) from EIT ICT Labs. In 2013, additional special recognition was given through a new category the C. H. A n. GE.

it would be that the EIT has managed to refocus European innovation processes on entrepreneurship and this has brought already

and will bring far-fetching results in terms of growth, development of human and social capital, and quality jobs.

A KIC needs a business plan that outlines its expected trajectory towards creating value for its stakeholders.

Its stakeholders include the EIT but also industry and academia. The grants administered by the EIT are not to become another state subsidy

but a seed investment and therefore the EIT as an‘investor'has to accept the logic of private sector to the extent possible for a European body.

they will not be able to deliver value for their shareholders and stakeholders. Some KIC partners express a real concern on how to define the business model of a KIC.

In most cases, they expect the KIC to educate a new type of engineers and scientists, integrate value chains

The dynamics of transformation were fuelled by a generation of entrepreneurial people who grasped opportunities and took risks.

They created business ventures but also democratic civil society institutions. This entrepreneurial talent should be integrated within the most advanced KICS to bring fresh blood, a different sort of thinking and a‘hungry'immigrant mentality that remains the critical driver of Silicon valley's success (13.

in order to place ownership, accountability and entrepreneurship into the centre of innovation, to overcome the silos mentality of the players within and between Member States and to catalyse the integration of the knowledge triangle.

'in a similar fashion, KIC co-location centres will emerge as innovation powerhouses where entrepreneurial talent is given opportunities to flourish

Introduction European union investments in advancing the European Knowledge Economy and Single Digital Market development are by definition longitudinal and accumulative by nature.

and the programme was aimed at elevating the competitiveness of the European ICT industry in global competition.

including the identification of opportunities for standardisation, policy contributions and emerging business opportunities from cross-industry collaboration.

The FI-PPP platform concept aims to support stakeholder roles in the future Internet value network, in particular technology providers, infrastructure providers, integrators, service providers, application developers and users.

For a particular application environment, e g. a smart city, application developers will be able to use FI-WARE technology to build Future Internet applications.

thus connecting to an environment of open innovation (2). So far, the FI-PPP programme can be considered to have succeeded in its objective to engage the major stakeholders in Europe

and attract interest among new stakeholder groups and communities. The current programme beneficiaries include all major European ICT companies,

including Deutsche Telecom, Orange, Atos, Telefónica and Nokia Solutions and Networks, as well as actors from vertical application sectors, like Technicolor, BBC and Disney.

because it is established not within an organisation with existing interests but in an environment which fosters collaboration,

In these contexts, value is created co by the ecosystem members, through processes of both collaboration and competition,

and architectural information (4). A main characteristic of the ecosystem is to provide an environment for experimentation resulting into successes or failures through natural selection.

such as the engagement of a variety of actors from different sectors and representing both demand and supply side, the creation of‘use case'projects piloting Future Internet technologies and their application in real-life settings,

and the creation of an open lab environment. However the dynamic evolution and sustainability of this ecosystem is guaranteed not as FI-PPP's structure

such as industrial demand and venture capital, and to open up the ecosystem for developer communities based on free access to developed technologies and know-how.

The resistance often stems from the participating organisations'own strategic priorities and objectives for the participation, competition, conflicting cultures and norms,

whereas some others perceived it as a political tool or a means to create new business opportunities for their company.

CONCORD, together with a task force of lawyers from all major stakeholders, drafted a contract and collected feedback from all participants in two rounds of iterations by structured template by email

The different boards developed their own routines for interactions and communications. Also the horizontal programme level working groups on Figure 2:

A r B o O k 2 0 1 4 dissemination, exploitation and business models, policy and regulation, and standardisation were established.

More effort was needed for cross-board communications and sharing between the technical and other constituencies in order to develop the networks

and ecosystems required for service delivery and business model development and validation. Emergent questions included also issues related to more detailed definitions of the access rights and sustainability of the developed technologies.

More attention was allocated to dissemination and stakeholder engagement. This included establishing linkages to other related initiatives in technical and policy domains for leverage

The role of this Board was to ensure the commitment of the major industrial stakeholders, and strengthen the business linkages

and across the various programme governance bodies and to represent the FI-PPP programme among external stakeholders.

This new role simplified the communications and representation of the FI-PPP programme towards the broader stakeholder audiences.

Prototypes were built by some projects but not all. Programme level focus was lower due to priorities in project level management and impact creation in thematic networks.

Towards a Sustainable Ecosystem Complexity in FI-PPP's environment and in the programme itself combined with a high level of ambition requires an ecosystems approach to the programme governance and facilitation

and formal communications Limited to debates regarding effective governance Cross-programme dialogues in working groups Dialogues including external parties

and having established ICT-based instruments of communication and collaboration. However the ambition to become a sustainable ecosystem after lifetime will require the programme organisation,

and adapt to the changing environment. We propose an explicit transition process from the Phase 3 situation to a sustainability driven ecosystem environment.

On the short term, this calls for pushing the openness of the current programme for external driving forces,

but equally important are the informal communication structures, collaboration mechanisms and the commitment of the participating organisations.

Introduction The 2008 global financial crisis is considered by many economists to be the worst since the Great depression of the 1930s.

During this period, economies worldwide slowed, credits tightened, international trade declined, and business and consumer confidence eroded with enormous and rapid job losses.

The source of the problem generally includes improper rules and policies, ineffective governance, failed surveillance systems,

and Ireland (2). It is our deep belief that national intellectual capital, albeit intangible, can provide valuable insights for searching a national benchmark as well as for future risk control.

This paper aims to report two innovative governments Australia and Chile which the author believes will leave legacies for their innovative measures in combating the 2008 global financial crisis.

When businesses ran short of capital, their daily operations were affected, including production stoppage and shedding off excessive manpower.

and purchasing goods. This cyclical problem affected the real economy thus developed into the deepest and most synchronised global crisis in the last eight decades.

and direct foreign investments were withdrawn swiftly. As a result a domino effect was triggered and global recession set in.

In 2009, Chile's economy contracted by 1. 5, %export volume dropped by nearly 20,

In recent decades, Australia has transformed itself into an internationally competitive and advanced market economy with focuses on services, technologies,

I O N y E A r B o O k 2 0 1 4 The Australian economy grew for 17 consecutive years before the 2008 global financial crisis,

the Australian economy entered the global financial crisis with a strong base. Gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 3. 7%in the 2007 2008 financial year (ending June 30)

and the unemployment rate stood at 4. 2%(6). The government also had a substantial fiscal surplus for the stimulus measures introduced after the onset of the crisis. Chile has oriented a market economy characterised by high levels of foreign trade

and its banking industry was ranked 4th (out of 133 countries) in terms of soundness (3). Exports account for more than one-fourth of its GDP, with commodities making up about three-quarters of its total exports.

and low levels of public debt (3). The Impact of 2008 Financial crisis Australia Australia was hit hard by the 2008 global financial crisis due to its export-oriented economy.

and to boost economic growth by about 0. 5%and 0. 75 1%of its GDP in 2008 09 and 2009 10, respectively (9, 10).

The government anticipated this package would provide up to 135 000 young Australians with higher qualifications and a more skilled workforce in preparation for the return of normal labor market demand.

Chile With a relatively small market and far away from the centre of the world economic activities, Chile enhanced its longstanding commitment to trade liberalisation with the signing of 57 free trade agreements including the US, the European union, the Common market of the South america, China, India, South korea,

Because of its high trade and capital market integration, the economy was affected severely by this financial crisis.

its unemployment rate grew from 7. 5%in 2008 to 10.8%during the second quarter of 2009 (3). Inflation rose from an average of 2. 6%in 2006 to 7. 8%in 2008,

with a peak of 9. 9%in October 2008 (3). 81 Chilean stimulus package was planned based on four pillars, namely government spending and investment,

. In addition to provide liquidity to the market, the government launched its major fiscal stimulus package of US$4 billion (2. 8%of its GDP and 14%of planned current fiscal expenditures),

job protection and job-training stimulus. Fiscal policy was at the core of the Chilean government response to the crisis,

mainly targeted at low-income households (US$1. 1 billion), investment (US$1. 7 billion), and tax cuts (3). In addition,

In the past, the Chilean government conducted a rule-based countercyclical fiscal policy, accumulating surpluses in sovereign wealth funds during periods of high copper prices

and economic growth, allowing deficit spending only during periods of low copper prices and growth. As of September 2008, those sovereign wealth funds kept mostly outside the country

maintaining good levels of business investment and employment (14). According to the OECD, Australia's timely stimulus measures, with a strong focus on direct government investment,

are amongst the most effective of all OECD fiscal packages in stimulating activity and supporting employment (10).

In general, Australia weathered the world recession better than almost all other advanced economies (Debelle, 2009;

and the terms of trade rose by 2. 9%.The Australian economy grew by 1. 2%during 2009 the best performance in the OECD (5). The outlook for private business investment improved,

resource investment in Australia has continued to expand rapidly. Work continued on very large projects, capital imports grew strongly,

As a result of an improved economy, the government expected to return to budget surpluses as early as 2015 (5). In addition to Australia's proven resilience during this financial crisis,

and has the power to impose sanctions (3). Pension fund investments are ruled also by risk criteria

the Chilean economy started to show signs of a rebound in the fourth quarter of 2009,

Chile's government received high marks from economists and its citizens for its countercyclical spending in 2009 (financed largely from saved copper revenues) to offset the effects of the global economic crisis (16.

However by 2011, the economy had recovered from the effects of the earthquake, which caused only a temporary disruption in Chile's economic activity (17).

Although Chile's economic rebound was owed partly to the fast recovery of China (its largest export market in 2010),

and 135 000 training opportunities for the young unemployed. Different from Australia's innovative investment on physical properties

Chilean government's innovativeness was manifested through its intangible process improvement, including transparent stimulus information sharing to facilitate consensus among different parties, efficient enactment of relevant law for smooth implementation of stimulus plan.

and consumer price inflation (CPI). In addition, tangible (GDP per capita ppp) and intangible (national intellectual capital, NIC) co-development also provide some clues for future national development.

Four Macroeconomic Indicators Figure 1 and Figure 2 compare and contrast general economic situation before, during,

Figure 2 shows that Chilean GDP growth plummeted sharply in 2009, with its heavy export-dependent economy.

Australia managed to avoid sharp downturns even amid the crisis due to booming demand for its raw materials from industrialising Asia, especially China.

Australian central bank has cut interest rates repeatedly to spur weaker sectors of the economy such as retail and housing construction, by boosting consumer spending (18.

the Chilean government has made efforts to develop global services (off shoring) as a new source of exports (3). An Innovation Council is in charge of identifying

GDP-NIC Co-development In the current knowledge economy, intangible asset plays an increasingly important role in national development.

and financial capital (19). NIC is the sum of the above capitals. National human capital is the competencies of individuals in realising national goals,

market capital represents a country's capabilities to meet the needs of its international clients,

process capital comprises mainly a country's infrastructure, and renewal capital refers to a nation's capability for innovation that sustains a nation's competitive advantage (19).

Figure 3 to Figure 7 show the co-development path of GDP-NIC,-NHC,-NMC,-NPC,

and-NRC of Australia and Chile from 1995 to 2010. The figures also indicate the relative position of the two countries in a 59-country landscape,

In other words, less developed countries with lower GDP may have better market capital than more advanced countries.

For example, Chile has better market capital than Australia. Figure 6 is the co-development of GDPNPC,

That is, Australia has an overall progress in renewal capital, despite some backward development, whereas Chile was stagnant in renewal capital over the long period from 1995 to 2010.

Figure 3 to Figure 7 present the co-development patterns of national tangible and intangible assets for Australia and Chile over 16 years (1995 2010.

and regulatory reforms can be viewed as the necessary restructuring costs for transitioning from the existing economy to an even more robust one.

but also left legacies for people to remember and for other countries to benchmark. Although the two innovative governments successfully implemented their respective stimulus measures

In fact, Australia recently encountered the decreasing demand from China and its resources industry has shed thousands of workers as a result.

E A r B o O k 2 0 1 4 declining process capital in recent years (Figure 6) is another sign for attention.

In addition to the country's pledged educational reform to increase human capital and reduce poverty special attention needs to be paid to its low renewal capital.

Chile needs to have higher degree of national renewal capital in order to achieve its goal of having per capita income of the OECD average (US$26, 000) by the end of this decade.

In an era of knowledge economy with keen global competition the growing importance of intangible assets is recognised a trend.

'They also need to soak up new business models more in line with today's society. In this way:

Services offered by the companies approach closer to the actual user demand. Virtual companies will be considered by their own and not like a reflection of physical businesses.

Social network or crowdsourcing businesses reflect these new business models and a new philosophy where Internet is the natural environment in

which business are conducted. Citizens The innovative thinking has to lead to more and better services demand.

We have to be convinced that services can and must grow to meet our needs. We live in a highly competitive environment where we cannot compete in production of products.

Europe is positioned better to compete in advanced services: there are many areas in our welfare society where we are ahead of many other countries like health, tourism, social policies,

luxury products, care for the elderly, etc. Data as Raw material Innovation models and paradigms exist to help in the process of reinventing.

One of these models is the‘combination innovation model'consisting of the mixture of elements already existing in a way that had not previously been done before.

The data begin to be seen as a commodity very capable of generating wealth and under the new‘Big data'phenomenon lays an opportunity to create value

and benefits for society, business and citizens. According to an IDC study only 1%of the world's data are analysed (6),

we can see the contours of a more expansive and more inclusive co-creative economy and society,

and evolution of value among stakeholding individuals and enterprises (1). Wealth-Welfare-Wellbeing as the Basis of Joint Creation and Evolution Of value In the typical value creation process,

enterprises and stakeholders had distinct roles. Stakeholders had a stake in value creation, but enterprises viewed stakeholders as being largely passive and docile recipients of value creation.

Stakeholding individuals now expect to have a more active role contributing through their differences in views of value

and their agency in creating value. Individuals as stakeholders, whether inside the enterprise network or outside as part of the enterprise ecosystem, are integral to this differential process of jointly defining

and creating value. A key point to CHAPTER III Open Innovation 2. 0 in a Real-world Setting Figure 1:

In other words, while the primacy of different stakeholders may vary depending on the particular framing of an economic system,

stakeholders must be recognised as human beings in all their complexity, whose ideas about value can go beyond just narrow conceptions of‘left-brained self-interests,'as it were.

The notion that individuals as stakeholders matter and must be conceptualised as being an integral part of the value creation process has gained hold in recent years.

Stakeholders are seen increasingly as contributing intrinsically to value creation rather than as entities to be managed merely by an enterprise.

Although advances have been made in going beyond the one-dimensional view of shareholder value (profit) maximisation and seeing management as beholden to shareholders

a‘homo economicus'view of stakeholders still lingers. Stakeholder theory has evolved to a more human-oriented‘homo sapiens'view.

The enterprise is seen now as not just an economic but also a moral and human institution,

where businesses are populated by and have consequences for human beings in all their complexity; this opens up the enterprise's purpose to a plurality of values and a social view of value as much as an economic one:‘

‘businesses should be the best we can create together, rather than avoiding the worst'(3). This view opens up the possibility of additional value creation, rather than a zero-sum game,

and of competition being emergent and value expanding, rather than being determined by industry structures and mere appropriation of value.

stakeholding individuals can themselves be seen as contributing‘value creation capital'with different kinds of contributions in an (innovation) ecosystem of value creation.

the role of the stakeholder in value creation also changes from passive to active, affecting enterprises and being affected by them, opening up various kinds of causalities in the value creation process.

Co-Creation thinking evolves stakeholder capitalism even further with its individuated agency and experience-centric view of joint value creation,

wherein agency presupposes and entails value (s is co-creative, and is co-evolutionary (1). Agency is distributed in (organisations as) assemblage systems

Value creation is predicated on access to competence in the joint resource network (with stakeholders and enterprises still‘owning'particular key resources).

So when an engagement platform based offering entails multiple enterprises as part of the resource network supporting the offering,

‘mutuality'considerations often apply, particularly in value creation instances where there is no common‘shared'value ground among resource-providing value-generating parties.

At the heart of the co-creation-based view of economies and societies is the impulse for‘becoming'.

'Whether as customers, employees, managers, financiers, partners, or citizens in communities, every stakeholding individual can bring capital to the value creation process through their‘value creative capacities'and,

As individuals'and enterprises'joint interests expand, they create value together through a multitude of channels and interactions.

Co-creative enterprises intensify co-creators'acts of value creation in terms of wealth-welfare-wellbeing. As all enterprising entities and people attempt to change the way reality unfolds,

co-creation thinking expands existing approaches to creating wealth-welfare-wellbeing in economy and society,

Humanisation Of value as Individuated Co-Creation Experiences A traditional conception of an economic system encompasses organisations

With the dawn of a co-creative age, enterprises must now see value creation as orchestrating platforms of engagements for intrinsic affects in and of themselves, beyond relational properties as such.

and co-creation experiences (1). In short, individuated co-creation experiences are now the very basis of value creation in the economy

and services based view to a more humanised view. Consider the field of telematics the provision of mobile information

and services to automobile drivers and passengers. As an example, take On-Star, which was launched by General motors (GM) as a way of providing safety and emergency services to their customers.

Over time, Onstar has evolved as GM has learned more about the broader interests and needs of its more than 6 million customers as stakeholders in experience-based value creation.

Instead of merely asking,‘How can we use information technology to make driving safer and more secure?'

‘What do customers desire to experience through their cars? How can information technology improve the driving experience,

which customers can enjoy personalised co-creation experiences that make driving more entertaining, informative, convenient,

which demands wireless connections via satellite and telecommunication networks to common monitoring stations. Onstar's current capabilities are very impressive.

and learn about my preferences and offer new services as appropriate. When my telematics system discerns (from my past information requests) that I am interested in the performance of certain stocks

enabled by technological capabilities entailing wireless telephony, satellite communication, vehicle integration systems, and internal sensors,

and external services such as 911 emergency networks. The hardware and software requirements and the quality levels needed to deploy Onstar safely as a vehicle-based application are quite impressive,

GM has gone a step further by opening up the applications programming interface of its automotive cloud platform that enables Onstar-based services to developers.

They could also generate new sources of value by linking with other network partners so patients could directly interact with support services

Thus, the capabilities for individuated co-creation experiences through platforms of engagements require the efforts of nodal enterprises that can connect together a variety of services, partners,

Nodal enterprises like GM Onstar recognise the need for collaborative innovation across the private-public-social sectors

and enterprises to enable and connect with the co-creation experiences of individuals, as discussed next.

In other words, a co-creation-based view of economy and society is about expanding collective self-interests for you and me,

The notion of enterprises in the private sector leading initiatives for the greater good has become familiar thanks to the spread of corporate responsibility practices.

Private sector enterprises are creating shared value together with the public and social sectors, and likewise, social (and ecologically oriented) enterprises are benefiting from working with the private sector (6),

(7). The public sector can also have far more economic and social impact through partnerships with the social and private sectors.

The scale of the Aadhaar initiative demands a deeper level of engagement with its myriad stakeholders for it to be successful in the longer term.

the lack of inclusivity of social sector stakeholders from the start appears to have contributed to social discontents.

These engagement platforms will have to bring together the various stakeholders to engage in multifaceted dialogue aimed at generating new ideas in the ecosystem;

and fostering active discussions and experience sharing and consensus building among stakeholders, all to enable significant co-creation of expanded value in the ecosystem.

Further, continuous stakeholder engagement with the various users of applications service platforms would allow the ecosystem to evolve based on feedback from stakeholder experience domains, to minimise conflicts,

The history of successful infrastructure investment is less about the direct impact of technology and more about the interaction between technology and society.

The returns on investments are measured in terms of a society's economy, health, and social wellbeing. Infrastructure is thus a critical determinant of co-creative capacities of an ecosystem of capabilities.

and to harness their personal, peer-to-peer, and collective knowledge, creativity, and expertise for the purpose of engendering development together.

and opportunities (2). This requires understanding the direct relevance of human capabilities to people's wellbeing

as well as opportunities to leverage ideas and solutions from communities outside the local. Note that community capacity is rooted in the meshwork of human capital

social capital, and organisational resources that is resident within and outside of that community, which can be leveraged to develop solutions to collective issues

and thereby maintain and enhance the wellbeing of that community (14). Community capacity can be tapped by various forms of social agency,

Economies and Societies as a Nexus of Ecosystems of Capabilities Viewing markets as a nexus of differences implies viewing economies and societies as a nexus of ecosystems of capabilities centred on productive and meaningful human experiences

through platforms of engagements of all stakeholding individuals in economy and society as a whole. Consider the case of Rio grande do Sul, one of Brazil's richest states,

which nearly went bankrupt in 2005, as public investment reached its lowest level in 35 years.

Since 1970, one government after another had failed to implement the necessary state reforms to reduce public debt.

In the early 1990s, Brazilian commodity export-oriented states like Rio grande do suffered Sul not only from the negative impact of the overvalued national currency

For starters, a live engagement platform was conceived for engaging different stakeholders, building political consensus, and co-coordinating lobbying activities.

Naturally, this called for a process of consensus building and democratic goal setting by a coalition of diverse stakeholders collectively representing the interests of the public.

Briefly, co-creative enterprise transformation can be broken down into the following components: 1. Jointly creating

3. Affording a variety of novel, personalised interaction environments; 4. Meshing together ecosystems of capabilities;

5. Augmenting creative capacities of enterprise architectures and management systems; 6. Enabling and supporting individuated value creation, personally and in the social, business, civic,

and knowledge to co-evolve human stakeholder experiences of value; 9. Building new strategic capital for enterprises;

and 10. Expanding wealth-welfare-wellbeing. Figure 2: Co-Creative Enterprise Transformation Who: Enterprises Whence:

E A r B o O k 2 0 1 4 The late Nobel laureate Ronald Coase, who at age 101 (in 2012) witnessed more structural changes in economy than most of us,

called for reconnecting‘Man and Economy',thus:‘‘It's time to reestablish the connection between economics and the ordinary business of life...

Knowledge will come only if economics can be reoriented to the study of man as he is

and the economic system as it actually exists'(15). Co-creation thinking bridges‘human experience and economy'as it were, providing a way to put back human experiences into the economy in central fashion,

and beyond to‘individuated co-creation experiences in society at large'through the convergence of private, public,

and social sector innovation ecosystems on wealth-welfare-wellbeing and co-creation of human value.

Enterprises must fundamentally stop thinking of individuals as passive and docile recipients of their offerings

but must instead engage individuals as active co-creators of value. All entities that affect or are affected by the actions

and outcomes of a value creation process can be co-creators. In other words the more inclusive the engagement of stakeholders in the act of creating value (through engagement platforms), the better the results.

Value is subjective and not only varies from individual to individual, but also within individuals in the context of their experiences in space and time.

The meaning of value is thus a function of human experiences, and products and services are a means to this human experience-based embodiment of value.

By definition, individuals are an integral part of creating experience-based value, and their creativity is relevant to the outcomes of experience-based value.

Individuals must be engaged as stakeholders in value creation on the same level as enterprises. Convergence of value creation based on individuals'experiences in economy and society necessitates that all enterprises,

whether private, public, or social sector, must engage people both individually and collectively. Private, public,

and social enterprises must build innovation ecosystems of capabilities centred on the wealth-welfare-wellbeing of all individuals.

and social innovation ecosystems have the potential to balance the invisible hand of free markets with the visible hand of governments and civil society, together with stakeholder expectations of more responsible, responsive,

and effective enterprises, and coevolving better states of governance, infrastructure, development, and sustainability. Ultimately, co-creative innovation ecosystems have the power to transform our reality of the world.

Abstract The lighting industry is in transition from a hardware only industry to a full solution and services industry.

and flexible lighting systems (with sensors and controls) on the other there are many opportunities for new business with services in lighting.

It also creates opportunities for new professions, such as in the design of lighting services and in the development of software applications for smart solutions:

professions that are new and require different skills than the traditional ones in the hardware related industry.

and seek for meaningful services. In these projects various public and private organisations collaborate to explore new venues.

This enables cities to offer a wide range of intelligent and integrated services benefitting society and individual citizens and bringing cities closer to the ambition of becoming smart cities.

Services At this level meaningful services are developed that provide value for the relevant stakeholders. In urban lighting there are often different stakeholders that use the area, with different needs and wishes.

The ultimate goal of urban lighting solutions is to create value for societal stakeholders by creating a healthy and liveable city.

Smart lighting can offer valuable services for different stakeholders using the ICT based lighting platform.

In this four level model, technology is considered an enabler. Technological developments create new opportunities for applications.

These applications become meaningful when they address relevant societal needs. In the coming years innovation will take place at all four levels.

However, in the field of meaningful applications designed to address societal needs there are more opportunities for new jobs, especially in the domain of developing new services with lighting.

The type of jobs is shifting from hardware related jobs towards the design of lighting services as well is to the development of software applications for smart lighting solutions:

Data analytics becomes an important element to identify emerging patterns and spot new opportunities. It also enables to determine the impact of solutions.

and effectively collect data and integrate all data into a total system. 2. Innovation driven by societal needs requires the active involvement of all stakeholders to find solutions that cater for their different needs.

Stakeholders turn from objects to active participants being involved in all stages, including very early ideation and prototyping.

The active involvement of stakeholders is needed also to develop new revenue models that enable the continuous innovation and further development of the services.

Municipalities may be able to provide basic infrastructures in public lighting, but due to budget restrictions it is not realistic to expect that all investments will be done from the public domain.

By understanding the potential value of innovations for the different stakeholders, also opportunities for co-investment arise.

A Changing Business Environment Meaningful applications in public lighting are based on societal needs and use the enabling technology in lighting and ICT to provide solutions that address the needs of the stakeholders.

Different areas in cities have different stakeholders with different needs. The solutions will need tailoring to the specific situation.

For example, an entertainment district in a city has different stakeholders with different needs than a residential area or an area around a school.

For each project it is therefore important to start with an inventory of the specific stakeholders of the area and their needs.

Based on these needs a creative process starts to define a proposition for an urban lighting solution.

With intelligent lighting solutions it is often possible to address different needs with one technical platform

as long as the platform is able to offer this flexibility. To illustrate this process we give the example of two projects that are currently in development.

In the redevelopment of the area an investigation was made of the main stakeholders in the area and their needs.

Hospitality Various stakeholders wish to improve the hospitality of the area to attract people and to make them stay in the square for leisure activities.

Technically, the system needed to create these light-on-demand settings involves just lights, people count sensors and an application to design

When looking further in the needs identified by the stakeholders, an opportunity was found in using the same technical system to increase a‘virtual stage'.

'Dedicated spot lights can create a stage for (music) performers and local talents. People can book airtime on the stage through an app. or portal.

thereby creating a revenue model to earn back the investments for the development of the app. and for new investments in the smart lighting system and related apps in the area.

This case shows that the technical system enables the creation of various services for different stakeholder needs.

but more in the development of meaningful services that make sense in this specific area. The type of people needed to perform such projects is not the traditional lighting designers that are used to make a lighting plan based on uniform distribution of a sufficient lighting level.

In this case the challenge is to creatively design services using the available technology and integrate the different needs into one solution.

This involves the setup of various living labs in the city to explore the opportunities of innovative lighting solutions to increase the quality of life in the city.

Also in this case the technological infrastructure provides opportunities to address also other needs An example here is that

New Professions Looking at the two cases presented above we can see a shift in the type of skills required from the more hardware related to new ones that focus more on the ICT and services part.

Dynamic lighting service designers These designers need to be able to empathise with the different stakeholders.

they need to extend their scope and research the needs of a wider range of stakeholders.

and provide new services for the different stakeholders. Next to these skills, they also need to understand the impact of lighting on people's mood

Also the renewal rate of services will be relatively high. New applications will give rise to the need for new lighting scenarios.

While the breadth of investment is certainly impressive, the real power of crowdfunding comes from harnessing the wisdom of the crowd

and creating a community of individuals emotionally and intrinsically motivated to spark real change. When compared to traditional commercial thinking

crowdfunding underscores a paradigm shift towards progressive funding that will transform global funding models. While crowdfunding is a powerful mechanism for entrepreneurs to raise capital to finance their idea or project

crowdfunding espouses many nonmonetary benefits. When entrepreneurs tap into larger social networks to pitch an idea,

they begin to create mindshare and market share within a virtual community. The virtual community then becomes a critical resource for the entrepreneurs,

For entrepreneurs, being in direct contact with potential customers is of tremendous value, as it allows market value, size assessment and direct product feedback.

the entrepreneurs must be comfortable and familiar with the notion that‘customers'can inhabit many roles as co-creators,

In parallel with the emerging class of entrepreneur and small business, incumbent organisations which were founded neither nor shaped in this connected world still have opportunity to create value in this new economy

because they appear to be inherently redundant and of little value in the crowd empowered economy?

Do we lack the frameworks to assist us in uncovering crowd based opportunity within our firm?

The Web 2. 0 economy has transformed fundamentally the way people interact and communicate. Geographical boundaries are no longer real constraints for organisations.

With these technological advances and new levels of access to people, firms are presented with a plethora of opportunities for collaboration, co-creation,

and a sharing economy. Different players in the value chain come together to create, improve, and deliver new product and service offerings.

Through additional partnerships with The Economist Nature Publishing Group and Popular Science, the network of experts with access to the challenge spans 12 million people.

If we accept that it is indeed more reasonable and beneficial to embrace the open business models

The crowd asset economy challenges traditional business concepts and theory. In the world of the collaborative and shared economy, with its freemium revenue models where social applications with no revenue can go from launch to being valued in billions of dollars at the time of IPO,

the boundaries of the organisation seem relentlessly transient and value creation models out of step with

To traditional business thinking, the idea that Patagonia, the outdoor clothing firm, should set up an online platform to permit its customers to sell their used Patagonia products to those who might want them

and we are left struggling to identify the opportunity. Does this perhaps leave us without analytical models

in order for your organisation to embrace the opportunity of the crowd empowered business, we must transform the current frameworks to reflect the current landscape.

One of the main challenges businesses are facing in the sharing economy is defined their strongly traditional and inflexible definition of business model and organisational boundaries.

It also prevents the adoption of innovation within the traditional notion of the value chain to find value creation opportunities which are novel

open and collaborative economy, we cannot take such a rigid and firm view. Instead, we propose a move from this somewhat 2d monochrome world of the industrial economy to a multi coloured 3d perspective in the crowd asset economy.

While the crowd based view may appear challenging it is possible to adapt some more familiar models to showcase the scope of the changes

and for those common tools to act as guides into an otherwise obscure environment. As an example, let us consider the Mckinsey 7s framework.

and is therefore unable to embrace the opportunities that might exist to innovate within the business model and across products and services.

there exists an opportunity to innovate amending and/or enhancing through the crowd. This will allow businesses to look beyond traditional business models

and constrictions and instead utilise and leverage crowd wisdom both internally and externally. This simple adjustment can free our thinking to explore novel configurations of these elements into a more fluid idea of the organisation.

and so reinvigorate them for the crowd based economy. Figure 1: Original 7s Model Figure 2:

The model has been adapted elsewhere to expand our understanding of how we can adopt more open crowd based models into an existing business model.

and that whilst a crowd empowered environment requires us to open our thinking, we have need no to entirely abandon many of the good management practices we are familiar with,

we contend that the true winners in a crowd empowered economy will be the ones who adopt a more wholesale

the breadth of response available to organisations in their readiness to embrace the opportunity. Some are more iterative and cautious,

and seek to utilise the opportunity to enhance what they already do. The more ambitious ones employ the opportunity in a more transformational manner

and see it as a chance to reinvent, transform and create entirely new opportunity. This same reference can describe the opportunity presented by crowd assets.

This illustration has a tremendous familiarity and simple, but practical application to us, as we can all plot the location of our own organisations on it.

In reality most will have two plots the‘as is'and the‘aspirational'.'The impact of the crowd economy is,

however, so profound, driven as it is by economic, societal and technological factors, that, in order to prosper, a firm should move to the disruptive end of the graph,

Let us consider some of the generic opportunities that present themselves. As demonstrated in our examples,

one obvious opportunity is crowdsourcing. If Henry Chesbrough coined the term‘open innovation, 'Jeff Howe coined crowdsourcing

small businesses and entrepreneurs can look to these activities as means of incrementally improving their products and services with other companies as partners or through crowd feedback.

A subset of crowdsourcing contains the concept of crowdfunding, a practice we have referred already to as a manifestation of the disruptive possibilities of the crowd asset economy.

It is one of the most promising resources for restoring capital to businesses, defined as the collective effort of individuals who network and pool their resources, usually via the Internet,

to support efforts initiated by other people or organisations. In its various forms, crowdfunding allows entrepreneurs

and SME's to solicit capital from investors, using social networks and crowdfunding platforms to finance their businesses and projects.

By doing so individual entrepreneurs and early growth companies can solicit donations from individual stakeholders (including friends, family, colleagues, other business owners, etc.

by appealing to their intrinsic, emotional, and social motivations. Not only does crowdfunding solve the challenges of early-stage financing for the business owner or entrepreneur,

it also establishes a strong communication link between the funders and the company, whereby the funders can offer feedback and suggestions for the product.

Crowdfunding enables enterprises to validate products by gathering a critical mass of funding (and customers) before the venture even goes to market (and in some cases,

before the product even goes into production!),ultimately mitigating the risk associated with a new product

because the mass of customers already exist. This new mix of the collective creative with productive capacity and execution enables enterprises to identify,

collaborate, and produce in an entirely unprecedented manner. Establishing a strong communication link between the business owner

and the crowd paves the way for open business models. According to Henry Chesbrough,‘Open business models enable an organisation to be more effective in creating as well as capturing value.

They help to create value by leveraging many more ideas because of their inclusion of a variety of external concepts.

They also allow greater value capture by utilising a firm's key asset resource or position not only in that organisation's own operations but also in other businesses.

Open business models can help businesses from a revenue perspective by licensing its own technologies to other companies

and by using outside resources for internal innovation, research and development initiatives. This saves the small business both time and money,

in addition to incrementally innovating existing products and services. Continual product innovation is essential for businesses to remain competitive and profitable.

Crowd-empowered mechanisms like co-creation and open innovation are central to this process. Cocreation is defined as form of marketing strategy or business strategy which emphasises the generation and ongoing realisation of mutual firm-customer value.

and active customers to share combine and renew each other's resources and capabilities to create value through new forms of interaction,

In 2005 the CEO of Intuit recognised the impact of co-creation with customers when Intuit customer service teams began experimenting with online support forums moderated by enthusiast employees.

For Intuit, the company learned about the kinds of tax preparation questions that professional customers have

The organisation is rolling this insight out into new products (8). The concept of collaboration is exemplified in the ideas of the shared or collaborative economy.

What more can be done to unlock this crowd asset economy to all? Porter's model demonstrates how the existing Value Chain might be extended to take recognised functions and offer a crowd based twist.

and to be able to apply this analysis from the business unit level to a fully crowd empowered enterprise.

the characteristics and approaches to unlock these opportunities vary by the nature of the location of the value,

At the same time we can identify opportunity to re-focus or adjust our position in the value chain by applying specific competencies
