Prof. Sandra M. Dingli from The Edward de Bono Institute for Creative Thinking and Innovation recently delivered two presentations at the TAKE conference 2024: The Multidisciplinary Conference on Intangibles, held at the Lusofona University, Lisbon, Portugal, in July 2024.
The first paper was entitled ‘The InnoGreen Project’s Green Business Innovation Canvas: Adopting innovative green practices’ which was co-authored by Assoc. Prof. Adina Cocu and Assoc. Prof. Emilia Pecheanu, both from the University Dunarea de Jos of Galati, Romania. This paper discussed the results of the Erasmus+ project InnoGreen (Innovative entrepreneurs leading green businesses, partly financed by the European Commission), which include the creation of 159 ‘triggers’ which may be used to motivate entrepreneurs to develop sustainable practices.
The presentation focused on the Green Business Innovation Canvas (GBIC) that was developed as part of the project. The GBIC is an online tool which aims to motivate entrepreneurs to adopt innovative green practices that have been extracted from 60 interviews with entrepreneurs in the project’s eight European partner countries. The InnoGreen project comes to an end in October 2024, at which stage an online platform with numerous resources will be made publicly available to enable adult educators to train prospective and current entrepreneurs to adopt more innovative sustainable practices.
The second paper was entitled ‘Fake News and Lateral Thinking: Navigating the Erosion of Truth’. This was delivered as a special presentation and workshop session on lateral thinking to a large audience who appreciated the topical nature of this presentation and who eagerly participated in the interactive workshop.
