Climate Innovations and knowledge
The UN’s Climate Change Conference will be held this December in Copenhagen.
There is only one real focus to this huge event and that is for the countries to agree on reducing CO2 emissions. But how about innovating and presenting climate innovations in a well designed portfolio including graphics, illustrations and text descriptions. How about an exhibition site that also presents podcasts and vidoes of the need and the innovated concepts with animations and interaction? It will take 23 workshops from the 2 August to 25 November and physically include more than 800 people (idea-people, business employees & leaders, politicians, specialists, designers & illustrators and many more). There will have to be brilliant presentations with global insights, inspiring Clean & Bio Technologies and an innovation facilitation that is world class.
Well, that’s what we got and we’re going to do it. Let me tell you a little bit about it.
The UN’s Climate Change Conference will not deal with the global consequences of the climate changes today. And I understand why: Partially because we’re going to have to re-innovate a lot of infrastructure and that is such a complex task it seems impossible. The other reason is that administrators like measurables; they may be able to list the needs and problems but not the visions or what will work. This calls for a very different platform and a hugely different platform. Not to innovate products but to innovate infrastructures.
As some of you may or may not know, I’ve have been designing the worlds first Creating Platform, CareCubicle. Many many people have been involved so far but starting this august, we’re really going to be involving people. CareCubicle is based around a set of ideas and I’ll just mention one of them here: Knowledge Rules! If you want to innovate anything, you must know how to work knowledge and patch-work it together. There a many very good open innovation platforms and I can point you to the one you need in your open innovation effort. However, I have not seen a platform yet that even comes close to holding and working with the whole of the innovation process including a Creating Business Model. I’m twitting on what such a business model is about if you’re interested.
We want to show what you can do with the CareCubicle innovation method and tools. Climate Innovations seems like great testing grounds. Now, CareCubicle is designed for a webbased audience with a whole bunch of very new ways to work with innovation. We will test them using the old fashion crank-the-handle workshop method but still with the new tools.
A workshop series is 3 workshops not including what happens inbetween workshops. We will hold two series. Combined, the final 10 concepts that we present at the UN’s Change Climate Conference will have been thtough more than 800 people.
If this sounds like something you’re interested in: Maybe you’re brilliant with concepts or know about climate technologies or work with a government somewhere in the word; drop me a mail at erik[at]imaginethis.dk and we’ll take it from there.
