Improvisation and Collaboration: The Art of Responsible Innovation

"Improvisation and Collaboration: The Art of Responsible Innovation" will take place at the Munich University of Applied Sciences on 6/7 October 2017. Please register until September 28, 2017 at: https://the-art-of-responsible-innovation.eventbrite.de

The workshop conference will research the implicit and tacit knowing of innovative processes using different angles and perspectives. Starting point will be the notion that innovative processes are cultural processes by nature - based on hidden values, from which one will have to redefine problems. That is why there will be used various artistic procedures and reasoning in order to identify and understand underlying patterns for innovate processes. Artistic procedures will help to understand the hidden (cultural) elements of innovation and enhance our reflexivity.

Within two days there will be shared

• the understanding of how innovation takes place in a responsive way (opening fishbowl event)
• joint experiences in various artistic procedures (a series of experience-based workshops and labs)
• personal conclusions for responsive innovativeness (final fishbowl event)
