dr. mary lynn manns

leading fearless change

leading a change is difficult unless the leader has the tools he or she needs. fearless change patterns offer these tools—they are well-defined techniques that solve the challenges in making a change happen. this presentation will introduce the fearless change patterns, explain how they were created through interviews with successful leaders and change, and will illustrate how they can be used to create organizational, social or personal change.

dr. mary lynn manns is the co-author of the popular book, fearless change, published in 2005 and translated into japanese and chinese. her new book, more fearless change, is newly published in march 2015. she has done numerous professional presentations at a variety of conferences and in organizations that include microsoft, amazon.com, avon, and proctor & gamble. at the university of north carolina—asheville, she has been awarded the title of distinguished professor of social relations for her work in teaching students how to develop their ideas for leading change and competing as social entrepreneurs.

workshops

generative processes for assisting with quality collaborative groups

joe yoder and takashi iba

christopher alexander is best known for his work on pattern languages. this work influenced the classic, design patterns: elements of reusable object-oriented software, by eric gamma, richard helm, ralph johnson, and john vlissides, as well as the software patterns community and its hundreds of patterns books and a half a dozen or so conferences a year (plops).
alexander is an architect whose real interest lies in understanding the nature of beauty and its objective reality. this project has held his attention for over 30 years and culminated in the publication of his gargantuan four-book essay, the nature of order. in it he attempts nothing short of proposing a new scientific method and cosmology to replace the cartesian / reductionist / mechanistic approach to science; and while he's at it, he proposes a *common sense* way to understand the incomprehensible mathematics of quantum mechanics. (along the way he also unifies science, art, and the spiritual.)
nature of order focuses on centers, life, and wholeness, the fundamental process, and structure-preserving transformations. alexander views core structure-preserving transformations as important principles and essential to his process, specifically for adding life to things we build. he measures or evaluates the results based upon the fundamental 15 geometric properties that tend to accompany the presence of life in nature. core to this is an evolutionary process which proposes that complex systems do not spring into existence completely formed, rather they evolve through a lot of small steps. he discusses a series of 10 structure-enhancing actions that he claims will always intensify the life and wholeness of a thing.
this workshop will examine these evolutionary generative processes by alexander and how they can be related to other areas such as building and sustaining creative collaborative groups. this workshop - not the workshop itself but the ideas in it - will leave you confused, profoundly smarter, reeling, in despair, and suffused by joy about what is possible for us.

using competition in collective idea generation

mats magnusson, magnus bergendahl, jennie bjšrk and magnus karlsson

the workshop consists of three main parts. an experiment lasting approximately 45 minutes, a presentation of results from earlier performed versions of the experiment (with students and with professionals in firms), and a discussion focusing on the use of competition mechanisms in collective idea generation and development.

connecting entrepreneurial ecosystems: a workshop

julia haines and ray wu

innovation is seen as paramount to the success of everything from new products to national economies to the betterment of society. but what is key to fostering innovation? scholars have noted that there has been a fundamental shift in recent years from knowledge being contained within corporations and firms to being contained within an ecosystem of partners [1]. there are a number of advantages to being in such ecosystems, including abundant human capital, culture of work, tacit knowledge, the close proximity of a workforce, government support, etcetera [3]. but little is known about the emergent collaboration between parties that occurs in these ecosystems and how it plays a role in innovation. a recent report on the global innovation index highlights the collaborative “flow of ideas between innovation actors” within so-called innovation ecosystems as crucial our understanding of how to support innovation [4].
scalable startups, particularly those in the information and communication technologies (ict) industry often sprout in general proximity to one another in these sorts of startup ecosystems or hubs, most notably in places like silicon valley, tel aviv, los angeles, seattle, and new york— the top five noted by the startup genome project [5]. for many years silicon valley in particular has been the go-to, drawing entrepreneurial immigrants from all over. but the global scope and scale of these ecosystems has been changing. a combination of infrastructure developments, accessible platforms, and easy to use tools have dramatically lowered the barriers to entry for technology startups globally. alongside this, other structures have spread the soft infrastructure, the “know-how” of doing a startup, making the processes more accessible and uniform to hackers and would- be founders all over. in this workshop, we would like to explore how coins can support and aid in connecting startup ecosystems globally.
recent work [2, 6] has illustrated how technologies such as social networks have allowed entrepreneurs in other areas around the world to learn from one another remotely, gaining the skills, mentoring, and connections they need. bridging geographical and cultural boundaries opens up new possibilities for configurations, new combinations of ideas, and new contexts. there are lots of ways in which ecosystems are structurally suited to promote innovation— through physical proximity, social connections, and mechanisms that enable cross-pollination of ideas, serendipity, sharing of expertise and experience. how do we harness that in a way that is not so geographically bound? how can we support entrepreneurial innovation through collaborative innovation networks? connecting ecosystems would seemingly play an important factor in this. by engaging entrepreneurs, stakeholders, and researchers across borders, we hope to gain an understanding of how startup innovation practices and ideas circulate and how they are adapted and appropriated throughout the globe— and how we can support them through coins.

analyzing coins with condor

peter gloor

this workshop is a crash course into the basics of swarmcreativity, the foundation of collaborative innovation networks, and coolhunting and coolfarming. coolhunting means finding new trends by finding the trendsetters before anybody else, by tapping into the collective intelligence on the web, and interpreting it through dynamic semantic social network analysis. coolfarming means developing new trends through self-organizing teams by nurturing coins.
the workshop then introduces the dynamic semantic social network analysis tool condor to discover and predict emergent trends on the web by mining twitter, blogs, facebook, wikipedia and using e-mail archives.
it will also introduce "virtual mirroring", measuring “six honest signals of collaboration” we have identified over the last 12 years to improve communication by continuously tracking and mirroring back individual, group and organizational interaction patterns.
in addition, it will offer a deep dive at the most recent condor developments, its graph-theoretical foundations, and interfaces to external analysis tools.
it will also present condorcore, a restful api server-side version of condor that permits to run and continuously monitor a social network, and visualize it through condorview, a web browser gui to condor.
participants are welcome to bring their own laptops to do some hands-on analysis with condor.this is a condensed version of a distributed course, which has been taught for the last 12 years at mit, aalto/helsinki, u. cologne, scad, iit

tokyo city tour : old & new

we will be holding an excursion around tokyo on the 15th. the theme is to travel through the good-ol japan as well as modern cosmopolotan japan. there are places that keep the traditional atmosphere while others are the trend-setting areas. at a few places both tradition and trend co-exist. through the excursion, you will be able to see, smell, hear, taste, and feel the "real tokyo." we’re planning to visit asakusa (well known for senso-ji temple), harajuku (the center of pop & kawaii culture), and oedo-onsen (hot-spring theme park).
asakusa

used to be the center of edo culture development, asakusa is well known for its good old vestiges, with senso-ji temple and the surrounding shops. the shops sell a variety of things, from traditional sweets to cultural goods. the brand new tokyo sky tree is close-by, hence we will be able to see the mixture of old and new japan. learn more about the senso-ji temple and tokyo sky tree.

harajuku

it's stuffed with the famous “kawaii” culture and other pop modern cultures. harajuku is known as a shopping place for young people, also leading the trend with shibuya and omotesando districts which are in walking distance to each other. distinctively different from asakusa, harajuku shows the other side of japanese culture. learn more about the harajuku district.

oedo-onsen monogatari

last but not least, we will vist a theme park of onsen (hot springs), a japanese culture we can't miss out. there are several hot springs within the park as well as other forms of entertainment to enjoy. the whole theme park has a nostalgic atmosphere, where we can feel the old-fashioned japan. learn more about the oedo-onsen monogatari theme park.


further details on the tour will be given out at the conference.

about us

collaborative innovation networks, or COINs, are cyberteams of self-motivated people with a collective vision, to innovatively collaborate by sharing ideas, information, and work enabled by technology.

COINs are powered by swarm creativity, wherein people work together in a structure that enables a fluid creation and exchange of ideas. Patterns of collaborative innovation frequently follow an identical path, from creator to COIN to collaborative learning network (CLN) to collaborative interest network (CIN).

this year's conference will be hosted by keio university in tokyo, japan.
