3. One of the most important factors in competitiveness is the ability to introduce new ideas and technology to the production process. The driving force in this process is always individuals with unique knowledge and motivation. Most organizations have a conservative and reluctant view on new projects. 2016-03-173 Magnus Areskoug, Ove Bayard, KTH Royal Institute of Technology

4. 2016-03-17 Magnus Areskoug, Ove Bayard, KTH Royal Institute of Technology 4 “Innovation power” is a phrase that is important for ETM. Within the project innovation power is defined as the strength achieved to go further with an idea or a proposal. It embraces all kinds of support that a decision maker needs to be able to undertake next step. The power is delivered through experience transfer and knowledge support from other engineering professionals in a selected group with mutual trust and strict confidentiality as their catchwords.

5. New New concept in project/idea evaluation Innovation New concept in problem analysis and solving Power Improved innovation and project implementation power 2016-03-175 Magnus Areskoug, Ove Bayard, KTH Royal Institute of Technology

7. What is the scope?  The ETM project started in October 2010 is part of the LdV Transfer of Innovation initiative  The scope of the project is to develop a platform for exchange of experience among engineers active in industry. + bilder 2016-03-177 Magnus Areskoug, Ove Bayard, KTH Royal Institute of Technology

8. What is the scope?  A platform is designed so that engineers from different areas and disciplines can contribute essentially to the problem solving process and suggest strategies for actions. 2016-03-178 Magnus Areskoug, Ove Bayard, KTH Royal Institute of Technology

9.  In the academia, focus is on the theoretical knowledge building and there is a need to have the industrialization view on when courses at the universities are developed and given. 2016-03-179 Magnus Areskoug, Ove Bayard, KTH Royal Institute of Technology

10. Industri strenghts  Industrial competence  Specific problem cases  Key application knowledge  Fast decisions  Market knowledge 2016-03-1710 Magnus Areskoug, Ove Bayard, KTH Royal Institute of Technology

12.  The ETM project concept take advantage of experience from industrial cases and transfer them direct from the source, the individual owning the case. Industribild 2016-03-1712 Magnus Areskoug, Ove Bayard, KTH Royal Institute of Technology

13. What is the concept? Workshops Recruitment and formation of groups Management and support Network Structure and agenda Updating participants 2016-03-1713 Magnus Areskoug, Ove Bayard, KTH Royal Institute of Technology

14. How do we do it? ETM addresses the need to have an multi- angle review and evaluation of a problem/concept/idea Offer confidential environment for open information exchange The ETM model offer a very structured and effective analysis and problem solving process Confidential 2016-03-1714 Magnus Areskoug, Ove Bayard, KTH Royal Institute of Technology

17. What´s in it for the participants? You will develop skills in:How to present an idea or problem to non expertsHow to analyse a technical problem/project How to present a solution or strategy to handle a technical problem 2016-03-1717 Magnus Areskoug, Ove Bayard, KTH Royal Institute of Technology

18. Experiences from ETM seminars A general comment is that it takes time to achieve the trustful and communicative atmosphere needed to obtain the optimum performance of the group. To create the open and freely communication between the participants is maybe more of a question of getting comfortable with each other in the group of participants. 2016-03-17 Magnus Areskoug, Ove Bayard, KTH Royal Institute of Technology 18

19. Experiences from ETM Seminars Another general observation is that the participants underestimate the importance of time for own contemplation before presenting own thinking and ideas. The ETM concept stresses very strongly that between each step there should be breaks from the meeting, eg coffee or meals. Spontaneous reactions could favorably be put at memory notes on paper or computer by the participants rather than communicate them to the others. 2016-03-17 Magnus Areskoug, Ove Bayard, KTH Royal Institute of Technology 19

20. Experiences from ETM seminars A common problem has been to convince potential participants to allocate the time needed for the seminar. A one day agenda has been used for introduction of the ETM concept with a positive but not optimal result. The different national cultures seem not to be a major problem in implementing the ETM concept. 2016-03-17 Magnus Areskoug, Ove Bayard, KTH Royal Institute of Technology 20
