Understanding Innovation As:

“The conscious process of decision making by which in-formation (idea) is transformed into an intangible result (service) or tangible (product)”.

Source: Stamm / Managing Innovation, Design and Creativity (2008)

Purpose

Create possible scenarios for evolution

Create possible scenarios for evolution

UnderstandIing LARVAE objective it is necessary to think obout what should be the XXI century citizen pro-file? Which should be the skills, behaviours, attitudes and capacities? That prepare him to deal with current and future situations. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) declares a XXI Century Citizen with a universal personality, re-gardless of culture, age, gender, or some other factor of social, economic or cultural separation.

The personality of XXI Century Citizen must be able to understand, act and relating to itself, to others and with the environment in the space and the time, under the universal values. This Citizen should be viewed itself with a sense of belonging to a community with common human sense, promoting “global view” linking the local with the global.Source: UNESCO

Problem

Unrealistic Innovation is caused primarily by three gen-eral attitudes:

(1) Innovative projects are copied from different contexts even though every context has its own peculiarities, ne-cessities and identity,

(2) Problems or situations are attended by requirement instead of necessity of evolution: the results of these starting points could be extremly different,

(3) Project creators visualize the reality as a something else outside of their own context; bringing projects to the reality that they don’t feel and think is for them or con-cerns them.

Vision

How to achieve it?Innovation thinking must

- Develop an assertiveness judgment to situations or projects,

- Develop a re-view of reality through multi-perspective and analysis of research,

- Develop the ability to work with complex systems maintaining own identities and collaborating with others,

- Develop the ability to establish positive attitudes towards reality through the generation of possible future states where to enroute their projects,

- Materializing values for the context evolution through an output (product, process, service).

Assertiveness in generating fundamental parameters and values for the innovation projects development

Larvae: Focusing Innovation Oriented Projetcs Methodology

LARVAE Methodology is ment to be used in early stage of project creation, enclosing three central phases:

(1) Multi approach research,

(2) Objective creation

(3) Modality.

4

What it is happening in the Global that provokes the Lo-cal and viceversa, and how the project creator can intro-duce itself in this complexity to interact in a systemical way.

Larvae: Focusing Innovation Oriented Projetcs MethodologyMulti approach research (insights)

Global approach: under the vision of Global Citizen Global approach will address universal values, global problems, global political agendas, trends (governed by the markets, culture, technology …) and the state-of-art of the situation in question.

6


Contextual approach: aims to know the people and context where the situation is developed to empathise and know the culture, behaviours, urbanization, climate, culture, politics, economics and the elements that could be relevant for to find problems and for their possible solutions or improvement contributions.

7


Personal approach: is an analysis of the motivations, needs and capabilities of the project creator, and / or their project partners; to establish their attitudes and postures towards reality.

8

Larvae: Focusing Innovation Oriented Projetcs MethodologyGoal Image (outcomes)

Population data is what is gathered from all of the in-formation in these three approaches; througth the inter-polation of these data a complex and imparcial view of the reality emerges from which some connections are stablish.

Statements of reality

Based on this exercise and the statements of new reality that will contribute to improvement in some proportion the reality studied a Goal Image arises

The Goal Image will automatically be systemically structured in an interaction that goes from the global to the local, as well as the project creator is immerse within this reality, in order to think what could be their contribu-tions to it and at the same time what the project brings to their professional and personal growth.

The Goal Imagen visualize the outcomes, the values needed for evolution.

The Goal Image have to be so specific to visualize the innovation that it can offer to the Local, conecting with Global and have to be so flexible to be able to address in three different outputs as a Product, Process or Service.

To appraise the impact, the project must have substan-tial reasons for at least one of the specific innovation in-dicators:

Sustainability: the area in which the project is offering values Social, Environmental or Economic or maybe a combination of them.

Identity: it is important to preserve the identity of the con-text, every project has to provide contributions to this preservation, collaborating or taking elements identify-ing the context.

Level of Innovation: according to references obtained on the first stage of the process, and the proposed out-comes.

LARVAE is not only conceived as a methodology;

LARVAE pretends to introduce a way to observe the com-plexity, look at itself inside it and perform for its evolution. To achieve it LARVAE is developing specific competen-cies as a methodology; Critical and Analytical Thinking are being develop at the beginning of the process when all data is obtained and interpolated, analysed, filtered and compared. In the transition of this exercise through the creation of the Goal Image the competencies of Problem Solving and Innovative Thinking appear when the creator of the project visualizes the reality and pro-poses the necessary values to its evolution and then in a project modality (product, process or service). Every time the creator of a project works with this methodology is obtaining different knowledge and is learning how to face a situation with different values, even though this situation can be similar or have equal conditions when this action is active a metacognition is being develop as well.

Engagement

14

Engagement

The proposed methodology attempts to structure a complex analysis confronting the particular reality of the state of the issue and the reality of “my situa-tion facing this reality” to propose another possible future.The outcome of the entire exercise will be the meta-competencies of: (a) observe the reality (the instru-mentals), (b) recognize myself in the reality (inter-personal) and (c) find possible ways to modified the reality (systematics).
