ClickNL, the collaborative facilitating agent for the Dutch creative industry, has released its Key Enabling Methodologies agenda for 2024–2027. I contributed, together with Geke Ludden and Rik Crutzen, to the KEM category Behaviour and Empowerment.
From the ClickNL site:
“Global societal challenges require innovation. The large-scale and complex issues require a multidisciplinary approach, in which technological innovation goes hand in hand with societal impact. In doing so, the acquisition of fundamentally new insights for, and the application and development of, key methodologies are indispensable.
The Key Enabling Methodologies agenda is part of the KIA Social Earning Capacity (2024-2027). It establishes a broad definition of the concept of key enabling methodologies (KEMs) and presents the most relevant categories of KEMs for mission-driven innovation:
- Vision and imagination
- Participation and co-creation
- Behavior and empowerment
- Experimental environments
- Value creation and upscaling
- Institutional change
- System change
- Monitoring and effect measurement
- Ethics and responsibility
- Meaning and awareness
- Data for inquiry and evidence
From each of these categories, the methods available, the scientific state of the art and the most urgent themes and research questions for addressing the missions were identified. Global societal challenges require innovation. The large-scale and complex issues require a multidisciplinary approach, in which technological innovation goes hand in hand with societal impact. In doing so, the acquisition of fundamentally new insights for, and the application and development of, key methodologies are indispensable.”
