Complex Systems: Breakthrough Innovations Through People The H-SEIF project booklet

Abstract

The H-SEIF project «Technology with empaty» was a three year (2017-2020) research collaboration project between industry and academia funded by Oslofjordfondet and inkind by partners. This book is written to inspire systems engineering practitioners and create curiosity about new ways of working to take the step towards significant innovations. We are a network of industry and academic partners sharing an interest and engagement in systems engineering. Our main goal was to create a framework for developing innovations using methods and tools combining design thinking and systems thinking. We found our current way of working as rigid and slow moving, leading us towards incremental innovations rather than significant Wwow» innovations. On this journey, we explored a toolbox consisting of methods, tools and frameworks that enabled us to move faster and learn more rapidly through exploration, early validation, and knowledge sharing. We try in this book to share our learnings using the toolbox and inspire you and your team to apply a new way of working on your journey towards significant innovations.
