“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.

What is the scope? The ETM project started in October 2010 is part

of the LdV Transfer of Innovation initiativeThe scope of the project is to develop a platform

for exchange of experience among engineers active in industry.

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.

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.

The ETM project concept take advantage of experience from industrial cases and transfer them direct from the source, the individual owning the case.

What´s in it for the participants?

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.

Experiencesfrom 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.

19

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.
