Background and Story of BotniaLiving Lab….
Examples of what we do at Botnia…1. Run OUDI cases with companies
and other stakeholders2. Policy making activities like the
ENoLL process3. Knowledge-transfer: Methods and
tools for user involvement in RDI-projects
4. Match-making between different players in the value chain of a IT-based service/product
5. Recruit and engage users as part of our development teams
6. Research in OUDI methods, tools and processes
7. Advisory role
Expected results when using Botnia Living Lab resources:
• Service co-creation with users and other stakeholders• Redesign of products/services• Decisions for implementation of new functions• New target user groups
New ideas as result of user involvement Increased knowledge among experimenters/developers Established relations with new business partners
• Faster innovation process (shortened time for development) by support from end-users for decision making
We offer:
1. User-involvement expertise this resource consists of research expertise in the field of
user centred design and evaluation and they support experimenters in setting up, and running user involvement activities.
In practice this means that we can do: coaching of staff who wants to perform user involvement
studies. hands-on resource for experiments with end-users in
Sweden.
2. Methodology for user-involvement• The FormIT methodology can support both radical
and incremental innovation development by involving different users and by putting weighted emphasis on the different phases
3 cycles; concept, prototype, final solution 3 phases; appreciate, design, evaluate 3 focuses; users, business, technology
• It is an iterative and interactive process • Different methods and tools are used for
professional support for user-involvement. Often we combine qualitative and quantitative methods for the best results
• important to recruit the right users matching the purpose of your experiment.
In practice this means that we can give: support in processes for experiments including
checklists for the planning and so on.
Results: New Products and services New knowledge New relations
We offer:
3. The Botnia Living Lab Users Data Base This is a database of 6000 creative end-users
(individuals) from 18 years of age and older in Sweden. We also have access to end-users around the world via 3rd parties. The Botnia user database is currently implemented as a MySQL-database where End-user basic data for end-user involvement are stored.
In practise this means that we have: Access to 6000 individuals in Sweden from which
a strategic recruitment for experiments can be done. The recruitment is based on the needs of the experiment and the individual’s personal will and opportunity to participate.
We offer:
Botnia Living Lab create different values for different stakeholders……

A Platform
What is a Living Lab?
A Living Lab is a user-centric innovation environment, built on realistic activities and research where all relevant partners are involved in open processes, with objective to generate sustainable values for LL partners and stake-holders.
What is a Living Lab?• An user involvement activity?• A end-user engagement project?• An innovation intermediary organization?• An innovation arena for organizations and their partners?• An innovation arena for employees?• Real world implementations/tests of innovations?• A research environment?• An innovation process?• An approach to innovation?• An innovation network?• A collection of services?
Application areas where Living Labs appear
• Energy• Tourism• Food• Beer• Internet of Things• eHealth – AAL• Smart cities• Games• Ubiquitous computing• Mobile technologies• Airports• Rural development• Future Internet• Etc…

FormIT
Supports:• User involvement & influence• Real world tests• Value creation• Openness• Sustainable development• IT-service
innovation/development
Cycle 1 – Concept Design
The process of the concept design phase starts by appreciating opportunities which included:
– define the scope for the process– identify the target-user group and their important characteristics– find out where these users can be found and define their role in the
user involvement process– carry out needfinding studies with users– design concepts– evalute and re-design concepts with users
The needs in focus here are the needs that motivate the users to buy and use a particular IT system
The challenge is to generate needs users consider relevant related to the innovation, and the different expressions they may take
Why focus on Needs?
• A need can have several solutions• The solution is not known and defined• Stimulates creativity and new thinking• More stable than trends• Gives an understanding of peoples goals, activities and
context• Gives understanding for the service influence• Succeeds the end-users expectations
Cycle 2 – Prototype Design
The second cycle, prototype design, starts with the process of identifying stakeholders’ needs in the service. That is, - when using a service, what needs are then important for the users??As in the first iteration, this is done through a variety of data gathering methods, such as interviews and observations
The challenge is to separate between needs of the service and needs in the service
Why Prototyping?
• Cheap to start with• Fast to develop• Easy to change• Gives a common object to discuss with stakeholders• Supports the process of identifying patterns,
processes and needs• Gives a foundation for the final design
Cycle 3 – Innovation Design
The third cycle, Innovation design, starts by analysing the results from the usability evaluation in order to generate changes in the needs of and in the service.
Small changes and adjustments in the needs are quite common, especially in relation to the needs in the service, as the system develops and users’ understanding of structure, content, workflow, and interface deepens.
The challenge is to evaluate users’ real experiences of the final service
Why real world tests?
• Learn about users needs and goals• Understand usage of services in everyday practice• Understand how the service fit into users technology
portfolio• Real world experiences and feedback from using the
service• Stimulates diffusion and adoption of innovation
Key principles of LL operations
Why Define Key Principles?
• Contributes to knowledge building concerning: what counts as Living Labs how its operations could be conducted how the value of these operations can be
assessed
• Creates best practices of Living Lab operations
• Represent ONE way to look at it
Current trends in LL practices and research
• Social Innovation• Energy and environmental research• Interaction design for public spaces• Involvement of the crowd in innovation activities• User DRIVEN innovation• Building test sites where people live• Integrating Testbeds and Living Labs• Openness; open innovation, open data, open government• Regional development and city development (Smart Cities)• IT-tools and distributed methods for Living Lab practices• Key principles and assessment criterions
Work in Groups
• 30 minutes collaborative work in groups (5-8 people)• Discuss and define:
– What do the Key Principles stand for in a Living Lab context.– Why it is important to use the Key Principles in your Living Lab
Operations. – How you can use the Key Principles in Living Lab Operations
• Be prepared to give a short presentation of your results.
Presentation of Results
• 5 minutes summary of your discussion and results. – What were the main AHA-moments in the discussion?– Which were the most intreguing questions that were discussed in
your group?– How will you use the Key Principles in your next Living Lab
project?
Three Living Lab methodology handbooks are available online
Peoples VoiceInvolving users in the development of interactive systems increases the likelihood that those systems will be useful and usable. The handbook deals with questions such as: How do we mobilize users? What motivates people to take part in the development of an innovation in their spare time?
