Presenter: Dr IIpo Laitenen, Service Innovations and Employee-Driven Innovations, City Of Helsinki
Topic: Employee-Driven Innovations: The Case of Helsinki 

It is widely agreed that a substantial part of Nordic countries’ solution to the challenge of globalisation and very rapid ageing of population consists of a greater emphasis being placed on training, research, high technology and innovation. Finland has invested heavily in research and development, and the Finnish innovation system has been widely praised. However, that is now in flux.

Very new idea generation and innovation models as well as very new innovation platforms predict a bigger paradigm shift. The presentation is about this novel approach, its implementation and the need for new managerial skills in order to enhance innovativeness to bloom. New approaches and platforms will be presented and innovation management discussed.
