The Voice of the User: Integrating Inclusion into Innovation Practices
🗓️ 26 June 🕒 11h00-12h30
User inclusion in innovation is increasingly the focus of policy rhetoric at both organizational and societal levels. Extensive research has demonstrated the potential contribution that users can make, both at the "front end" of innovation with their ideas and insights and downstream, facilitating adoption and diffusion. However, translating this potential into practice remains challenging. We need to understand more about how to hear user voices, amplify their insights, and provide practical channels for inclusion to ensure full co-creation of innovation.
This workshop will bridge the gap between the potential and practice of user inclusion in innovation. Participants will explore "boundary innovation spaces" where user co-creation is prioritized and delve into various tools and techniques that promote active user involvement. Through interactive sessions and best practice examples from across Europe, attendees will gain insights into effective strategies for integrating user voices in innovation processes. It will equip participants with the knowledge to foster inclusive innovation environments within their organizations, ensuring that user insights are not just heard but are instrumental in driving innovation forward.
