Innovating health care 

The Moebio program d-Health was started to strengthen the innovation in the Catalan healthcare industry. Behind Moebio is the organization Biocat that promotes initiatives to encourage research, innovation and business growth in the health- and life science sector in Catalonia, Spain.

Biocat are strong in healthcare but needed some expertise within innovation, team building and educational design when they were to form the program for innovators in the healthcare system three years ago. Therefore they turned to Kaospilot who designed the first draft of the curriculum for the program.

-       We have been very happy to be part of the development and delivery of this program. The program in its form and content is quite unique. Where entrepreneurship is key for innovation, creative leadership can really spur the thinking and mindset towards collaboration and enterprising behaviour, says Christer Windeløv-Lidzélius who is the principal at Kaospilot.

Promoting entrepreneurship within the health industry

The Moebio program is an industry accredited MBA which means that it supports the holistic development of executive, post and undergraduate educational programs that are driven by and with industry in alignment with social intelligence and their combined mindsets.

It runs for 9 months and during this time the participants go through several training programs within design thinking, co-innovation, creative leadership and team building. It is a mix of lectures and real experiences and the goal of it all is to promote entrepreneurship at the intersection of technology, life sciences, health and business. Kaospilot teach creative leadership and team building at d-Health.

-       Working in teams is a key aspect of the program as all assignments are developed in teams. The work of Kaospilot helps the fellows at d-Health to understand the importance of team building and to have the tools for doing it, says Raquel Riera who is the Head of Innovation and Talent Development of Biocat and Program Manager of d-Health.

She also emphasises the importance of leadership training as part of the program.

-       As an entrepreneur leadership is a key skill and we think the approach of Kaospilot is different from all that the participants have done before. Additionally, the participation of Kaospilot is always a shot of motivation, says Raquel Riera.

Projects result in start-ups

The participants at d-Health go together in teams that develop new products for the health sector. One of these projects resulted in the start-up Usmima. The team consists of a design engineer, a PhD in biological sciences, a telecommunications engineer and a PhD in molecular microbiology. They work on developing a non-pharmacological solution to chronic constipation.

Another team is working with urinary incontinence and they are collaborating with companies to build their prototype.

Creative entrepreneurs are sought-after

It is of course important that professionals with an education in medicine, biotech and engineering are part of the teams. But also professionals from the creative industry are needed in the teams that are to create the innovative solutions.

-       The program includes the creation and development of the solution, be it a product or a service, and design people are very capable of thinking of these kinds of solutions. They also contribute in the observation phase in the hospitals, as they observe from a different perspective, says Raquel Riera.

The third edition of the program will start on the 18^th of January 2016. There are still a few places specifically for designers and entrepreneurs who would like to turn their skills towards what is tipped to be one of the fastest growing market in the next 20 years, health care. Read more here

The whole Kaospilot school was invited to an experience created by the third year students on a cold harbor in the Danish autumn air. Entering the room of an old warehouse all participants were met by the team forming an avenue of big white drops under a paper moon. As mystical as it may sound this is an important part of the learning at the third year.

The Museum of Now kicks off the final projects that the third year students are now embarking. And it is a chance for the team to share where they are right now in their process.

All kaospilots finish their education by making an exam project that requires all the tools and skills they have gathered during the first two years.

The diversity of the projects is great. Some start up their own company, some do consulting, some work with natural restoration, some with companies like the Danish Broadcasting Company or public hospitals.

Glimpses of now

The first important step of the final project is research, research, research. At stations around the old warehouse the students share the research they have done so far in their project, their thoughts and methods they will be using in the work.

At one of the stations are Henriette Juel Olsen and Anna Katrin Thorarinsdottir. They have just formed their group and will be working with human centered design and co-creation.

-       This is a glimpse of where we are right now in our project. We still haven’t decided what field we want to work in. But we want to use human centered design as our method and through that find a human need in society that we can create a concept around, says Henriette.

Reality check of the project

Robin S. Lewis Christensen is working on a project with social labs. His aim is that people with different backgrounds meet to solve a specific diverse problem. At the moment he is looking into problems in the food industry but this may change as he goes further into the researching.

-       It is valuable having to say it out loud and present the project to the rest of the school. It becomes a reality check. My own thoughts are mirrored and it gives the opportunity for sparring. I got new perspectives on my project when I heard how the second year students perceived it, says Robin.

The Museum of Now does not only give great input to the team that is doing final projects, also the younger teams get an idea of what is in front of them.

-       We want to share with them that a final project can be many different things and that you can be many different places in the process at this point, says Anna.

She also sees it as an important experience for the team to create the museum together.

-       Although we are all working on different projects now, and will travel different places to make them, we will still support each other the rest of the year, for instance we have learning groups to do that.

-       We have been a team since we got here, and that is a main part of being at Kaospilot, Henriette adds.

She explains that the painted marks on their foreheads are to symbolise that they are a group and also show all visitors who the exhibitors are.

Not a regular museum 

All of the things happening around the actual sharing of projects – the rituals, the music and the visual design of the space – are part of the experience of the Museum of Now. Experience design is an important part of life and work of a kaospilot.

-      I think that is something we are really good at here at Kaospilot. This is not a regular museum. By making it an experience we create a feeling, a sensation and it brings another level to it. We expect something from the participants who come to the event and that makes them engage more.

The team has chosen “drops” as a theme for the museum.

-       When a drop falls it creates a ripple, and when we are many drops it can really create an impact. That is what we want to do with our projects and therefore we think it is a good metaphor.

Last minute change of conditions

Hilmar Gudjónsson has been the project leader of the Museum of Now and he got himself a bit of a surprise the night before the event was to take place. The team had to move from the location where they were already setting up the museum, and not until the morning of the Museum-day did they have a new space.

-       We really got to practice our skills of navigating in chaos in that situation. My task was then to mobilize everyone to change it all. We had to move everything and find out how to use the new surroundings.

-       But it was actually fun to change it. It was so dusty in the old, raw building, but it became part of the charm of the place, adds Henriette.

-       At all events something f*cks up at some point. On the 1^st year we freaked out more than we do now when something like this happens. Today, instead of panicking we just decide what is the next step to take. And we have the experience now to be able to tap into things we know will work from previous projects, says Hilmar.

Meet him here in our series of interviews with the many guest lecturers from all around the world that we are blessed to have teaching at Kaospilot.

What is the essence of the work you do? 

I am working on a project called Little Big Malmö. It is about celebrating the backgrounds of all citizens in the city of Malmö, Sweden. To make Malmö the best city at diversity. We do that by shifting focus on what is missing in Malmö and by the standards of the United Nations we lack 24 persons to become the most international city in the world. I’m working on this now since there is a misunderstanding in the world today that migration is dangerous. So we are creating the first and only truly global city with citizens representing each of the 193 recognized UN nations.

How have you collaborated with Kaospilot?

This time we did a workshop about cultural diversity for the first year students. The 35 students in team 22 are from 12 different countries. So we talked about the benefits of sharing experiences. How do we get to know each other and how do we ask questions to get past cultural barriers that society might have put up. When old ideas collide a new is born. Can team 22 create greater projects and learn more by being more understanding about each other.

What would you like the students to take with them from your classes? 

To celebrate cultural diversity. To stay open and take in different perspectives. Everyone here has different backgrounds, our different cultural angles should serve as bridges over barriers and be a source of inspiration.

I also want them to take with them that to put focus on these thoughts you may have to shine a light on it from another angle – a mind shift.

What do you take with you from the Kaospilot students?

We had an awesome conversation. I studied at Kaospilot in Malmö and I hope that we gave the same energy back to the people that spent time with us, as I got from team 22. I also got great new angles on our project Little Big Malmö.

What are the most important questions that young aspiring leaders and entrepreneurs should ask themselves?

Is this my passion?

It took me a long time to understand that my love of people has been the red thread through all my companies and undertakings.

And focus! That’s still a struggle for me. I always have a new project, but when I look into them the focus is always on the same thing and in my case that is people.

What inspires you in your own work?

That I can actually make a change both in business and in society. It’s just more work when it comes to changing a whole society. But I’ve got time and good people with me so it will happen in the end.

You can read about another one of our guest lecturers, Roxana Kia, here. 

-       We need a push to be put in different situations than when we normally ideate. We are excited to see what the Kaospilot students can do to our brains! And to get some input on where to take our concept, says Jan Gintberg. He is a famous Danish comedian and the host of the show “Gintberg på Kanten” that combines journalistic reportage with satire and stand-up comedy.

The popular Danish TV-show has been running for five seasons, and the host and his crew have come to Kaospilot to have an ideation facilitated. It is part of their work with the development of the concept to get inspiration and input from people who are not part of the daily work with the show.

Three Kaospilot students have designed a morning of ideation for the people from the Danish Broadcasting Company (DR) and a group of fellow students. The facilitators are studying at the second year of the three year education to be a Kaospilot and are in the middle of their process semester.

-       Therefore it is really relevant for us to facilitate this process and try out the tools that we have learned with people who are not used to this process, says Kaospilot student Nynne Juul.

Hard for the brain

The morning starts out with an ideation in high speed. The TV-crew is divided into different groups so that they can all get new ideas from the kaospilot students. Different tools like combining different ideas and imaging the worst thing that could happen from the idea of another group are used. Now and the TV-host exclaims: “My goodness that is a good idea!”. The facilitators ensure the speed and flow of the process.

-       It is hard for the brain and quite exhausting with all these good ideas, says Jan Gintberg who however is very appreciative.

His colleagues are intrigued by the openness that the process facilitates in their ideas because they are used to having to pitch when they have a concept that is almost finished.

-       Here it is okay to throw ideas around that are nowhere near complete. I really sense that the Kaospilot students are good at not limiting themselves and to stay in the game and play of the ideation process. And that is when the unique and wack ideas emerge, says Jan Gintberg.

The most surprising and funny idea he has heard today is a combination of a Christmas show in 24 episodes and a quiz show on fertilising eggs!

A plastic bag full of ideas

For Anna-Maria Espersen, who was also one of the facilitators, the day has turned out well.

- I hoped that they would have fun and be able to do what we kaospilots have as one of our main abilities; to throw ourselves into something that we don’t know what will turn into. And I think we succeeded with that. I noticed that they said they were really tired afterwards and I remembered that I was too the first time at Kaospilot. But now it is natural to me to create freely in ideations like these, so it is something you can learn, says Anna-Maria.

For Jan Gintberg the morning has also been fruitful and he has collected a whole plastic bag of post-its with ideas.

-       I will definitely go home and look through all of those ideas and see which ones I can develop further. From the top of my head I think I have at least ten ideas that could make actual pilot-videos to pitch for further investigation, says the TV-host.

Text by Lotte Rystedt,  journalist at Kaospilot 

In this article you get a sneak peek into one of the classes and meet the programme director and a couple of the participants.

At the harbour of Aarhus 20 educators are gathered at the Kaospilot school for the second day of the course of Art and Craft of Facilitating Learning Spaces. Three groups are working concentrated in front of boards that they have covered with post-it notes and pictures from magazines.

-      One of the purposes of the programme is to move away from the text-based ideation and use a more visual and creative one that fosters more innovative takes on the educational design challenges, says Simon Kavanagh who is the programme director of The Art and Craft of Facilitating Learning Spaces.

The challenge that he has given the groups right now is to create a vision statement for the educational programme that they are in the process of designing. They have twenty minutes for the task and then have to present the vision like it is going to save the world, as Simon announces with a smile.

The programme runs for three days and the participants are divided into three groups that each work with the design of an educational programme that one of the participants is in the process of creating at his or her own job. However the learning at the course takes place on many levels.

-      The actual task right now is to co-create a programme. They get new takes on how to develop a new education design but also they experience tools and methods in that process that they can use when teaching and facilitating their students, says Simon Kavanagh.

Teams grow quickly from play

Participants from ten different nationalities have come to Denmark to join the course. One of them is David Bolton who is the enterprise manager of Swansea University. The university is expanding their programme in creative entrepreneurship and David is designing the new curriculum.

-      A colleague of mine recommended the programme and it gives me a unique framework for creating a different type of module, says David who also got a lot of new tools for teaching.

-      We have been learning through play by for example LEGO, yoyo exercises and collage exercises. The added value that I hadn’t expected is learning how to design and evaluate educational programmes, says David.

His group at The Art and Craft of Facilitating Learning Spaces programme is working on his project for Swansea University.

-      The input from the teammates has been brilliant! It has surprised me how quickly coherent structures come together from plays, and how quickly team grows. As Simon said: “So far you have worked for two days with people you didn’t know beforehand. Imagine the work you can do with colleagues in two years.” I can definitely use the input in the future work with the programme and we have agreed in the team that I will share how things develop, says David.

Lawyers thinking out of the box

Antine van Nederpelt is a public prosecutor in The Netherlands. Also, she is a programme manager and responsible for the learning and development of the new public prosecutors. She met Simon Kavanagh three years ago when she was visiting Denmark to meet with Danish colleagues who were also in the process of creating a new learning programme for public prosecutors. She and her Dutch colleague were curious about Kaospilot so they arranged a meeting in Aarhus.

-     I spent a day with Simon and I was really inspired because it was so different from the traditional way of thinking education, Antine remembers.

-     We experienced that our colleagues did not learn enough in the traditional class rooms. We have to connect it more than we already do with the practical learning. So now we have a different approach, but we are still developing the program. We brought two of our new tutors for the course as well so they get the tools and inspiration, Antine explains.

-      The biggest challenge has been to think out of the box. As lawyers we are used to always think by the rules and by the book. But here there are no limits and you don’t have to be afraid of making mistakes, because they can spark creativity, says Antine.

Challenged to change roles

To use yourself in another role than the one you are used to is also a big part of the learning at the course.

-      We challenge people to use other sides of them selves. So people who are normally very structured get a role in the group where they use their creative sides. On the other hand the creative ones have to take the structured role. This way you get to practice and explore new sides of yourself. So the programme is not only about the project and problem-based work, but also about self regulation and leadership, says Simon.

A side effect is also that the educators learn how it is to be a student within an experience based learning space.

The programme has run for three years and 450 participants from 25 nationalities have joined.

-      We initially made this program because we saw that we could create an impact on educations in many parts of the world. The programme is the essence of how we educate at Kaospilot and we believe that this can increase the bandwidth for creativity, innovation and risk in education, says Simon.

In the fall Kaospilot will run The Art and Craft of Facilitating Learning Spaces in Brazil, Texas, Holland and Singapore. And in addition establish licenced partners in Spain, Holland, Brazil and the Baltic states in 2016.

Personal communication as part of leadership

Roxania Kia does masterclasses in personal communication for leaders. At Kaospilot she teaches students how to find their personal way of communicating. In her classes one student presents while the rest of the team is the audience, and Roxana helps the student move forward in their personal communication. She does the work right on the spot and it is quite an intense process. Here Roxana tells a bit about her work.

Why have you chosen to work with personal communication masterclasses?

- I love evoking people’s authenticity and have a talent for it. So it feels very natural. I believe that when we contribute purely from our uniqueness to a community, it is the most valuable contribution we can make. In communication this means that we connect for real with our audience by bringing our presence to the stage, being able to listen deeply to their needs, dreams and growth potential. This always touches the listeners and it is an art to practice and develop this kind of discipline.

Where does your passion come from?

- From loving the people I work with and loving to see them shine.

What is your aim with this work?

- To bring people back to their hearts, courage and clarity for authentic communication and connection to the participants.

How is it to work with the Kaospilot students?

- It is an honour. It is always a demanding experience to teach at Kaospilot, as the energy from the students can be unfocused. As I am very keen on making a difference with my job and keen on sharing the best I have, I need to use some of my time to create this focus before I move on with the actual teaching. However, this time it was a beautiful experience of a group of students that were responsible, curious and concentrated. Great!

What do you want the students to take with them from these sessions?

- I hope they can remember what it means to be in touch with the authentic self and communicate from that space. I hope that they have some highly effective, simple and personal tools to work with. Hopefully they will understand that communication is an art of practice, if you want to become excellent at it, and that there is huge potential. Hopefully, they are motivated to explore further and keep their curiousity open.

How do you feel when you see your sessions working?

- In love!

Read about another one of our guest lecturers in this interview with Robert Fortunato

Meet him here in our series of interviews with the many guest lecturers from all around the world that we are blessed to have teaching at Kaospilot.

How was your first meeting with Kaospilot? 

- In advance of coming to teach for the first time, I read the Kaospilot A – Z book.  I was impressed with the philosophy of the school and the things the school was doing in the world.  When I came to teach for the first time, they assembled about 100 students in the auditorium for my class.  I explained that I had read the book and asked: “Is it true that you think you can change the world?”  Immediately, there was an overwhelming roar of “YES!”  I was hooked.

What questions would you ask as the most important for yourself and your work?

- Being persistent enough to ask the 5th “why” is difficult, but rewarding.  In doing so you risk being seen as naive, unknowing or just plain “not getting it”.  But that level of questioning tends to examine the root cause in a way that opens new possibilities for an innovative approach.

What inspires you in your work?

- The question reminds me of the old axiom “You can’t motivate anyone; but you can create an environment in which people derive motivation”.  The Kaospilot school is one of those places that curates an inspirational experience for everyone involved – students, teachers and administrators alike. I am honored to be part of it and learn as much as I teach every time I am there.

Related to that, I have started a ritual that every time I go to teach at Kaospilot I reserve a day to travel to some of the most sustainable places in Scandinavia. That ritual, in conjunction with watching students work through their projects, inspired our Green Idea House project.

What inspiration would you offer to young, aspiring leaders and entrepreneurs who want to make a positive change in the world?

- Going out in the world and doing what others can’t takes a certain amount of ego. That is necessary to get done what needs to get done as a transformational leader.  Just continually monitor that ego and make sure it is in service of something bigger than yourself and that ego.  As you get more successful it becomes harder to find people who will tell you that you are going off track. Cultivate honest, supportive relationships early and foster those relationships. Kaospilot is a great place to do it.

More about Robert:

Robert is a business-, leadership- and innovation consultant

Also, he is a TEDx speaker, community builder, and graduate from the Wharton School of Business.

His company The Green Idea House is a community built around the idea that anyone can build with energy efficiency and sustainability in mind, and that it should actually cost less.

He is President of ForStrategy Consulting that helps businesses achieve their goals around profitability, innovation, competitive advantage and organizational effectiveness.

Some have explored boredom, others discussed ethics, made a love swing, a website, homemade snaps, or talked about death. The past three days students and staff at Kaospilot have been hosting workshops for each other and got a glimpse into co-students and colleagues’ hidden splendours.

- We are surrounded by splendid people all the time! There are always moments where you find out your friend of three years is actually a junior world champion of pie baking contest. This is about exposing another side of the many-sided kaospilots, and just in general having a splendid time together, says Josie Ng who is part of the group of students who have arranged the three day event.

- A splendour is not necessarily a talent, it can be many things. We are all splendid and were also before we came to this school, so it is about sharing something that is close to you. The whole thing is also about getting to learn each other better, says Josie, and tells that Share your Splendour lives through the students who are at the school, so it is an open concept.

Final project becomes flourishing business by turning plants upside down

When Sacha Julie Bechtle was in Cape Town as part of her education at Kaospilot she saw something that caught her eye and made her green fingers itch. She was on the Outpost in South Africa when she first spotted potted plants hanging down from the ceiling in a cube bound together by moss and string. She found out that this way of decorating rooms with hanging plants originates from Japan, and she started making some herself.

-     I grew up on an organic farm and I have always had green fingers, tells Sacha.

Therefore it is also important for her that the plants are made of 95 per cent compostable material, and sustainability is a red thread through the business concept.

Sacha graduated from Kaospilot just this spring. When she was to begin her final project at the school it became the start of her flourishing business that she calls Plukk.

It took some time before she really believed that she actually had a viable business model. Yet, as the concept grew so did her faith in the project.

-       I would never have been able to do it without the competences and the network that I have taken with me from Kaospilot. The three-year education has given me the courage, the belief and the faith that this can actually come true, says Sacha.

Plukk has indeed come true and Sacha sells plants to both private customers and office spaces.

-       The plants can create better air quality in office spaces and it is also beneficial for the psychological working environment to work in green surroundings, says Sacha.

She has made workshops for others who also want to learn how to create the hanging potted plants.

-       For those who work with the plants it creates joy to have soil and plants between the hands. It is scientifically proven that the body then releases substancesthat are good for your mood, says Sacha.

Her company builds upon a clear value.

-       Plukk is not just a new way of keeping plants or a new product. It is also a way of encouraging and inspiring people to integrate plants in the indoor spaces we live and work in. Not only are the plants beautiful, they are also important for both the air quality and our wellbeing, says Sacha.

Many have discovered her floating plants and she can no longer keep up with the demand on her own. The newest development in her business is that her fellow Kaospilot student, Andreas Frandsen, has joined the business.

Read about another final project that turned into business with a view  

in this article about Kaospilot alumni Jesper and his company Postevand:

http://www.kaospilot.dk/interview-with-jesper-i-believe-in-transparency/

More than a traditional coworking space

Since the beginning of Kaospilot in 1991 the students have worked with projects and clients from the “real world” outside the school. Now the school invites start-ups from the creative industry to join Kaospilot in the project- and coworking community that is called Kaospilot HIVE.

- HIVE is more than just a coworking space. We engage in projects through Kaospilot and everyone in the project- and coworking community gets the chance to contribute. It gives the entrepreneurs the opportunity to work on larger projects because they are in a community with people who have other competencies than themselves, says Jesper Krogh Kjeldsen who is the leader of HIVE and a Kaospilot alumni. He himself is also an entrepreneur and runs the company Postevand that sells tap water on sustainable cartons.

Kaospilot principal Christer Windeløv-Lidzélius says:

- We are a school for leadership and entrepreneurship and naturally we want to help entrepreneurs on their way. At the same time we would also like to give our students the opportunity to have some entrepreneurs near them that they can be inspired by.

Around a third of all Kaospilot alumni become independent entrepreneurs. It is natural for Kaospilot to work in the creative business as around 50 percent of the kaospilots work within this field.

Sparring across sectors

The synergy with the rest of the organisation is not only present in connection with actual projects. The daily contact between the school and the project- and coworking space is a big part of the gain for both the Kaospilot school and HIVE.

- The companies who come here become part of Kaospilot with all its synergies, projects, parties and sparring. Not to mention the energy, network and international perspective of the students, says Jesper Krogh Kjeldsen.

More than 100 students from around the world attend the three-year program at Kaospilot at the moment. At Team 22, which starts later this August students from 11 nationalities will join.

The Kaospilot principal emphasises that the sparring is not only one-way.

- Both staff and students can become inspired by how the entrepreneurs in HIVE are working. It is also the plan that the students can work on HIVE-members’ projects for their assignments at the school, says Christer Windeløv-Lidzélius.

He sees the new project- and coworking community as an obvious idea for Kaospilot.

- It is a natural next step in the development that Kaospilot has been undergoing during the last couple of years. We have moved from Mejlgade in the city centre of Aarhus to the Filmby Aarhus at the harbour and that has given us the space to expand our activities. We are an educational house that work with education and entrepreneurship in many different ways. The three-year program is our core and then we have a series of courses in leadership, entrepreneurship and educational design. HIVE is our latest addition to the family, says Christer Windeløv-Lidzélius.

A project- and coworking community with a shared vision

The entrepreneurs who join HIVE all have certain things in common.

- We want to work on projects that make a positive societal change in the creative industry. This vision is shared by the people who are accepted to join HIVE, says Jesper Krogh Kjeldsen.

- We set a team of ambitious, fairly newly established entrepreneurs who have different competences so that we ensure we can solve assignments together, he says.

The diversity is crucial and also an important reason why Kathrine Laursen recently chose to move into HIVE.

She is educated in business communication and coaching and runs the company Laursen Coaching.

- That we have so many different competences in the same community gives me the chance to work on interesting projects that I wouldn’t have had the chance to work on if I was not part of HIVE. Plus it gives me an insight in other ways of working, says Kathrine Laursen.

The members of HIVE have common sparring meetings to share and give inputs on challenges that other members have.

- I really sense an enterprising and creative vibe here that inspires me. And I look so much forward to exploring the synergy with the kaospilots, says Kathrine Laursen.

The members of HIVE also get the opportunity to join projects with the school and two third-year students will have seats in HIVE to work on their final projects.
