Innovation system on a regional level
”Innovation skiljer sig från verksamhetsutveckling, kvalitetsarbete
och det kontinuerliga förbättringsarbetet.
Begreppet innehåller en grad av radikalitet, det vill säga att
innovation är något nytt eller väsentligt förbättrat och därmed
något annat än ett löpande kvalitetsarbete eller ständiga
förbättringar.”
”Inom landstinget finns det flera viktiga och angränsade
processer att ta hänsyn till i innovationsarbetet. Det gäller
framför allt områdena digitalisering, forskning,
utveckling och utbildning, personal- och
kompetensförsörjning, hållbarhet samt styrning och
ledning.”
Region Stockholm has developed a strategy and a policy for Innovation and digitalization providing a direction to the Karolinska University Hospital and other care givers in the system
Process driven
High ambition level
”Samtliga verksamheter ska använda innovation som ett
strategiskt verktyg för att utveckla, effektivisera och
kvalitetssäkra verksamheten, erbjuda bättre samhällsservice, öka patienters och resenärers
delaktighet, samt bli en attraktivare arbetsgivare.”

Where and How?
Innovation on the third horizon requires us to work in a non-linear way.
● Radical innovation requires ways of working which makes the future present today.
● Radical innovation needs to be able to change perspective, explore and have a greater allowance for risk.
● As for the methods used, they can be common for many of the horizons with a few exemptions.
