The multidisciplinary research department of SINTEFs Knowledge Creation offers research services related to develop high quality research projects in close dialogue with our customers. Knowledge creation, creativity, and innovation are important objectives for the research we are doing. Our approach is informed by co-generative learning and a variety of methods: We do research with clients, not on them.
Learning from clientsWe address client-related idea work using a method for collecting, passing on and reflecting about learning in teams and in the organization.
Co-developing creative driversWe identify the qualities that are present when idea work is at it’s best in an organization.
NetworkingUser involvement gives new insight to the development of practices among multiple partners.
Workshop facilitationOur workshops set out to accelerate idea work and learning on specific challenges, while also fostering increased reflexivity on working methods.
Parallel prototyping Parallel prototyping is a collaborative work form that seeks to force speedy production, testing and improvement of very concrete yet not fully developed ideas.
Film elicitation We use film-elicitation as a model for collaboration and a strategy for two-ways feedback by the use of film in dialogue between all participants in a project.
Cross-cultural managementIncreasing globalisation and collaborative efforts across borders require fine-grained “glocal” knowledge in order to develop effective operation.
“After we started the effort to strengthen creativity in exploration, the discovery rate on the Norwegian shelf has increased.”Morten Rye-Larsen, former chef-geologist, Statoil
“This is by far the best characteristic of our shared practice that we have ever seen… enormously precise to come from the outside.” Lead architect, Snøhetta
