  2. ? Innovation Systems Knowledge Transfer Triple Helix Diffusion ? ?

  3. Three Cases • Design of IT in Use – supportive technologies for public services • April 00 – Dec. 02, financed by Vinnova • participants: BTH, 5 municipalities, 2 software providers, 1 call center • Design of Database Applications in Use • Jan. 00 – Dec. 01, financed by The Knowledge Foundation • participants: BTH, Europolitan/Vodafone, DieData • e-government Arena • July 02 – Dec 03, financed by the European Commission • participants: BTH, 3 municipalities, 2 software providers

  4. Situated Innovation • occures through specific configurations of • designers and developers • users • and sometimes also researchers • takes place in and contributes to different dimensions • improves the practices of developing and deploying software • scientific insight

  5. Why ICT? • ICT is highly malleable • design tends to invade use • use-related qualities are highly situational • ICT research has to take this into account Empirical research in close interaction with practice is an important resource for applied ICT.

  6. Case 1: Design of IT in Use • public service provision in one-stop shops • on-going development of ICT in use • long term provider - customer relationship • Participatory Design in practice

  7. Broadening the Scope of Situated Innovation • ’seeing differently’ • reflective and mirroring role of the researchers • from participatory design to participatory research Cultivating spaces for situated innovation

  8. Case 2: Design for Design in Use • developing flexible systems that can be easily adapted to changes in the business • established co-operation between in-house software developers and business units • interaction of use contexts, development practices and technical infrastructure • ’artful integration’ instead of ’design from nowhere’

  9. Achieving Transferability • understanding software development practices • co-operating around method development • evaluating the deployment of the methods • -> improved understanding of the applicability of methods in situ Co-operative Method Development

  10. Case 3: An arena for e-Government • regional joint venture • short term projects in the context of a long-term research and development co-operation • multi- and interdisciplinary co-operation between telecommunication, software engineering, economics and human work science • integrating e-services, e-democracy and e-governance

  11. Mutual Accountability • making use of multi-perspectivity both in research and in practice • making short term projects and long term research interests work together • co-ordinating rythms and rationales • flexibility of researchers and practitioners • mutual understanding and respect • making goals and ambitions visible

  12. Summing up • researchers contribute with an outside perspective, methodological and technological knowledge … … and provide spaces for reflection on action which enhances reflection in action • practitioners’ requirements, constraints and possibilities challenge scientific knowledge … through which a deeper understanding of ICT development and deployment is developed. • to accommodate the different rationales the different rythms have to be accomodated in the co-operation as well

  13. Situated Innovation • seeing innovation systems from within • moving from studying dynamics to taking action in the ’triple helix’ • research changes when it becomes involved in practices it is meant to contribute to • retaining continuity and independence is necessary to broaden the space and scope of innovation
