A resilient strategy to innovate in companies

ResilientWEB Workshop

Innovation inspired by Nature is: "biomimicry in practice".

Nature is resilient in daily and stress situations alike. Many of its findings and innovations can be translated into good practices for businesses, product design, organisation management and strategic partnerships. In a 3.5 years European project, partners from different countries developed, in cooperation with Luxembourg Institute of Science and technology (LIST), an easy accessible tool to nurture the resilience of your business. This tool consists of a deck of 30 cards presenting visually principles from nature that inspire to re-think processes for innovation. It has been used by more than 50 SMEs in Europe.

Objectives

This workshop introduces the “Resilience Design Toolkit” and showcases why it is important to get best sources for inspiration to innovate sustainable in your company. Experience the usefulness of taking into account environmental, social and economic thinking in an integrated way!
