End-user innovation

… a source of innovation, only now becoming widely recognized, is end-user innovation. This is where an agent (person or company) develops an innovation for their own (personal or in-house) use because existing

products do not meet their needs

“end-user innovation [is], by far, the most important and critical”

Eric Von Hippell Sources of Innovation

07794 327171

Expertise and innovation•Innovation takes place through complex process that link many different actors together

•The boundaries of organisations and industries are sites for innovation

•Problems and needs of users can be met with the potential solutions in creative processes

What do we mean ‘innovation’?

What does innovation mean to you?

What is innovation ‘in one sentence’?

The innovation expeditionOxford English Dictionary Online

Wikipedia

07794 327171

The successful exploitation of ideas generated at the intersection of invention and insight, which leads to the creation of social or economic value.

• Dynamic, shifting– Social context– Education context – Economic context– Technological context

"The ubiquitous presence and utility of ICT in modern life are having a significant impact on the way we live, and even on the notion of an educated person. It has led to the concept of the knowledge society - sometimes also called the learning society or information society. There is a widespread awareness that these developments have profound implications for education, and that schools must change, but as yet little detailed consideration of the extent of the change needed and the advantages that ICT can bring. The growth of the knowledge society and the pervasiveness of the technology represent a major challenge and a major opportunity for education."

OECD, Learning to Change: ICT in Schools (2001), p.9

‘Uncertain futures’

Aims of the innovation07794 327171

• "The changes in society, among pupils' perceptions, and the evolution of new technologies are leading to a new

profession for teachers." B. Cornu, 'New technologies: integration into education' (in D. Watson & D. Tinsley (eds.),

Integrating Information Technology into Education; London, 1995), p.8 • ‘…change in education may now be thought of as a

constant condition, rather than an event’Futurelab Literature review: Teachers Learning with Digital Technologies: A review of research

and projects, p.5

•Problem identification/definition is central to successful innovation: why are you innovating?

Use a side of the cube – label it “1”

What are you addressing/aiming to solve?

•Responding to Every Child Matters?

•Responding to the Personalisation agenda?

•Taking advantage of the expertise of parents and local community?

•Help 1 child recognised their learning outside school to build on it in school?

Innovation is the process or result of combining previously separate ideas or technologies in useful

and valuable ways

innovation is moving beyond …

Bob Harrison

Innovation for us comes in many forms, be it software, delivery or simply the doors we open.

Gemin-i

07794 327171

Innovation is bold experimentation against a backdrop and goal of change, evolution and progress

07794 327171

Innovation is using pre-existing or emergent ideas and technologies and using them in new and creative ways never used before

Leon Cych

07794 327171

The creative process of transforming practices in communities of practice such that participants see those changes as a breakthrough

•How do you know when this has been achieved?

•How would you measure it?

(standard and non standard measures)

Use the opposite side of the cube – label it “2”

What does success look like?

•Children asking more questions?

•Learners utilising a wide range of sites of learning?

•Standard measures? Attainment?

•Measures of happiness?

Innovation is driven by people and often happens at the boundaries between different disciplines

Innovation is a process, it's confusing to think of it as a thing

If you want to learn about innovation, don't pick up a book with innovation in the title, read autobiographies

The quickest way to innovate is to bring innovative people into your organisation

Innovation is looking at the same thing in new ways

07794 327171

By definition, life is change and change is constant. Innovation is about being the change rather than facing the change. Change is human nature, it is at the core of every person, without it we experience stagnation and complacency. To empower people to be innovative is a collective responsibility. Innovation and education should go hand in hand – it is the lifeblood of our children and the future of our world

Paper provides an example of the innovations needed in

response to the Every Child Matters agenda

Tomorrow’s teachers will therefore inhabit and expect to flourish in a very different educational world.

They will find themselves in schools in which the proportion of teaching support staff has markedly increased


07794 327171


they will be professionally accountable for their contribution to improving the outcomes for children

they will require to display a deeper sensitivity and responsiveness to the well-being of learners


07794 327171

they will work in schools which are designed to address a wider range of professional concerns than the school of yesteryear


07794 327171

[they] will become gateways to a network of dispersed learning opportunities, and will draw on wider sources of expertise to support learning


07794 327171

they will have a stronger involvement with parents and other community agencies than in the past


07794 327171

they will be members of teams, in some cases in leadership roles, in others as partners, in addressing shared professional problems


07794 327171

they will be expected to engage more frequently in discussions with others from different walks of professional life


07794 327171

the effects of all these changes will be to reinforce the teachers’ fundamental and distinctive responsibility for exercising leadership in teaching and learning and maximising learning opportunities.

•What would this look like in practice?

•What changes to social practices would need to be made?

Use the another side of the cube – label it “3”

What changes are there to practice?

•Enquiry based curriculum?

•Online registration not based on one site?

•New relationships? New organisations? New conversations?

•Wider range of activities offered based on learner’s interests?

Teachers TV is innovative in two ways – it’s the largest-ever project to record and disseminate the teaching and learning in a nation’s schools, and all its programmes (approaching 2000 of them) are available for viewing on its website (www.teachers.tv), as well as on-air on digital satellite and cable TV. The marriage of high-quality television with advanced broadband delivery on this scale is, we believe, unique in the field of television, as well as in the field of education.

Innovation is the key criteria in deciding what programmes to commission and what new media projects to develop. The innovation may be the idea, the technology, the format or the use of new talent - and often it means creating new partnerships to make new things happen.

We know we're there to stimulate debate not provide definitive answers - we're creating content to help people make up their own minds about an increasingly complex world.

•What is the key action to help reduce the resistance that you highlighted?

•‘Black box’ technology: what would it’s function be?

Use the last sides of the cube – label them “5” and “6”

What is the key action to reduce the resistances?

What ‘black box’ would you like to use to help you?

•A tool to capture a whole class’ conversations?

•Time for CPD and a responsibility to try new approaches?

•A system for sharing practices more effectively?

•Media coverage celebrating failure in the process of innovation?

For us and our students, innovation is a way of thinking. We encourage intuitive thought, without fear of risk, free and able to grasp what are we trying to achieve, and how best can we make it happen. Innovation is creation.
