OLLD 2017, ENOLL Krakow Patrizia Hongisto, Aalto University Overcoming barriers to Open and User Innovation in Regional Development OLLD 2017, ENOLL Krakow Patrizia Hongisto, Aalto University

OBJECTIVE Enlarging the field through a ICT4D focus LLs for OI Stakeholders and Users Orchestration in ICT4D LLs for sustaining Emergent collective creativity, Reflective/Reflective practices, Relational competences Is this possible in ICT4D?

QUESTIONS - I How can LL practices attain and sustain regional development goals whether desired, or emergent? Organizational and consumer research perspectives of sustaining emergent creation collective interaction towards user-driven development and innovation

QUESTIONS - II What are the barriers to expected outcomes: to provide a market for global participating companies, and to expand local entrepreneurial activities Multi-level goals negotiation Citizens as ‘working and living’ communities / individuals

INTERACTION AND RELATIONAL CAPABILITIES OI in regional development – a collective of stakeholders (incl. citizens) UI in regional development – a community, or groups, of citizens than ask, do, change ICT4D – international development OUI – LL – ICT4D

FINDINGS Organizational Barriers Systemic considerations in ICT4D Pre-set organizational objectives Institutional organizational limits Divergent goals and collaboration Practical inclusion and methodological practice Systemic considerations in ICT4D Mismatch between conceptual understanding of LL and practice in regional development

LL challenges in ICT4D Managerial view is primary for organizational stakeholders doubts about open-ended processes unease with redirecting interventions, funding complexities Relational, collaborative and reflective/reflexive actions indicate lacking communicative resources for interactions (methodological) lacking practice orientation (epistemological)

CONCLUDING THOUGHTS Research in and on LLs is needed to understand meanings and efficiency in interactions and relational realities in the practice of LLs contribute (eg through action research) to practices in reaching reciprocal (business) opportunities Produce valuable knowledge building practices for a future where work, ‘a job’, either in developed or undeveloped environments, may have a changed meaning. OPI4D is one way to shape this knowledge.
