From automated defensive behaviour to innovation resilience behaviour: Improving the management of R&D and innovation projects
conference paper
Teams responsible for innovation can benefit from concepts from crisis management and safety science. So called mindful infrastructures are helpful for teams in overcoming critical incidents because such mindful infrastructures enable a resilient type of problem solving behaviour in these teams called ‘innovation resilience behaviour’. The presentation will discuss findings of a research among 18 project teams responsible for innovation projects from the Netherlands. Illustrations and examples will be given about what teams do in overcoming critical incidents and how this can be understood in terms of innovation resilience behaviour. Finally a tool will be presented that companies can apply themselves in strengthening team resilience. Topics: 1.) What is mindful infrastructure in project teams and what is innovation resilience behaviour? 2.)What do teams do to overcome critical incidents? 3.) What are concrete examples of innovation resilience behaviour? 4.)A tool that you can apply in your organisation to strengthen team resilience.
