Let’s get some terms rightTechnologyHardware
devices, technical systems, infrastructure…
Software programs, manuals, standards, procedures, rules…
Orgware competences, workflows, formal/informal institutions…
InnovationProcess aiming at making technology
Invention, development, design, architecture, makingdeployment and management systems

Fitting technology to societyLinear model escapes societal realityBut is easy to use
Fuzzy model includes it all... To the point of dispair
We talk about the fuzzy, and use the linear

Focus of trafficinnovation
Reduced social life; life quality; CO2; strong/weak traffic users imbalance; traffic kills; threats to mobility in the long run
The sustainable and culturally wellintegrated traffic system has not been developed
It can be done

Is eGov made forthe citizens?eGOV systems leave
non-ICT users behind. Even sharp users drop out because of lack of system learning.
It can be done better
More citizens living outside the common set of rules; new form of bureaucratic arrogance beingratified through eGOV.

The relevanceof SecTech
Security tech is not made and deployedwith the rights of the citizen in focus
It can be done
Increased distance CitizenState; trade-offprivacy/security taken for granted; panopticsociety a real issue.

Over-simplifying tech issuesSolving the wrong problemsGetting the wrong resultsNon-handling of uncertaintiesExagerating the role of scienceReducing complexities to ”Ethics”….Ineffective solutionsWasted opportunities

Climate adaptation
Scenario workshops1. Made 3 rough scenarios for 2050 based on IPCC
Local citizens, farmers, ngo’sand municipality politicians.
2. The scenarios adjusted by the National Geological Surveys and a major environment engineering company.
3. A second workshop where the same participants designed a detailed series of scenario-based plans with realistic solutions and realistic economy.

Ocean rise
Citizen Summit at Kalundborg500 citizens one day
Deliberated and voted on questions about principles of management:1.Protect land/property intensively2.Adapt by prioritized protection3.Let nature rule
Result: •Action plans now. •Proactive transformation. •Phase out vulnerable settlements and let nature take over.

Climate adaptation
The linear model solution?As foreseen in many other places.A) Which areas and infrastructures are
threatened?B) What techs can be provided?C) Fight about the scarce money for dikes,
dams, pumps, etcD) Get surprised when the unforeseen or
neglected problems arrive

Embracing the human and social dimension of technology and innovation
Thank you for your attention! Lars Klüver [email protected]
Is absolutely possible, if we want to
- Deal with complexity through interaction- Problem oriented agenda
- With a situation sensitive approach- An elaborated methodology
- Specialised independent institutions- Who can engage with policy-makers
