Which tool for which challenge - Introducing the i2connect tools & methods

Summary

The i2connect project aims to enhance advisors' skills in supporting interactive innovation processes. Various tools and methods are available for this purpose. To choose the right tool, consider the problem, context, and questions you face. As an example, the Cynefin model is useful for problem classification, the Double Diamond model for collaboration and goal-setting, the Spiral of Initiatives for project assessment, the Warm and Cold process for managing the energy in a project team, the Circle of Coherence for interaction analysis, the Triangle of Co-Creation for understanding actor roles, and network analysis for actor involvement. Ultimately, supporting interactive innovation also requires the right mindset, focusing on relationship-building, and connecting people. All the tools are available on the project's website for testing and exploration.
