Global threat of sustainable value creation
− ”Triple debt”1. Ecological: Natural resources are 1,5 times over-utilized.
2. Economic: Europe, countries and municipalities are living on credit. We are eating from the plates of our children.
3. Social: People feel bad under growing pressure.
Weakened competitiveness of companies, public sector and society.
Preventing the triple debt is offers business opportunities.
Areas and challenges of sustainable value creation
− Development of innovation systems − Innovation systems cannot respond to the challenges of open innovation− Insufficient dialogue between science and practice leads to unnecessary use of
limited resources− Exploitation of innovation potential is weak
− Development of management and processes − Productivity is taken from people not processes− Knowledge in organizations is poorly utilized. − Benefits of networks are not used
− Development of ICT− ICT is seen only from a technical point of view, not as part of business processes− ICT is not applied in novel ways− Openness is just on the way, closed systems prevent open innovation
Our response: Productivity innovations
“Productivity is not everything but in the long run it is almost everything” (Krugman 1994)
“Production and use of knowledge is at the core of value-added activities, and innovation is at the core of growth” (Archibugi and Michie 1995)
“Europe suffers of productivity gap preventing sustainable growth“ (EU)
“80% of growth is explained by increased productivity; 80% of the increased productivity is explained by innovation” (Cooke, 2005)
