Inno 58h Kick-out

Our Team participated in the Inno 58h Kick-out on Friday at Boost Turku. We made a Motorola (method to map your feedback) on the whole Inno 58h project as well as our group performance.

Most groups are finised with their tasks but our journes continues. We will have to hold our presentation direct in Helsinki, therefore we are still developing our project.

Keep following us to get our newest ideas and developments!

Finish Straight

Slow but steady our group is heading to the finish straight. The team has developed plenty ideas using different tools of project and innovation management.

The first task was now to sort the ideas and group them as well as to figure out the most important and creative ones. For this purpose every member of the group has created his TOP 5 list of ideas which will eventually lead us to the final list of ideas to be illustrated by our presentation.

Secondly we had to think about composing the presentation itself. Good and sustainable marketing always includes storytelling. The innovator team decided to pack the final ideas into a creative story. By telling a story we have a red string in our presentation and it gets even clearer how interconnected the promoted issues actually are. We will try to present our story in a way, that the viewer can clearly follow our thinking process and will be encouraged to make also his own thoughts to further develop the ideas.

Second day of Kunstenniemi - Morning session

This morning started with a reflection of our work done so far. We used the NABC method, developed at the renowned Stanford University, to figure out the Needs, Approaches, Benefits and Competitors which are crucial to know for our further working process. It is motivating to get a clear picture of what whe have crafted so far as well as to have an illustration of what might still be improved.

Eventually our analysis was presented to the whole INNO58 team which provided very contructive feedback which we will now ground on our further improvements. Besides from the creative replies to our work we had some insights into the progress of the others which was both impressive and inspiring.

Further updates will follow during this afternoon!

Let the innovation commence!

Lots of great ideas are pitched today!

Mikael L

Hey, I am Mikael, a second-year political science-student at Åbo Akademi University. I also study marketing and journalism as minors. In my spare time I enjoy playing the guitar and spending time with my family and friends.  

I attended this course because it seemed suitable to my studies, and also I thought it would be a nice variation to the regular courses at the university.

Random fact: I am a big fan of the NHL team Philadelphia Flyers!

Matthäus

Hey, I am Matthäus and currently studying as an exchange student at the Novia University of Applied Sciences in Turku. My general studies are International Relations and Management but here during my semester abroad I try to get some insights into tourism by working with Andelslaget Toptimal International.

Inno58 seems to me like a really interesting challenge, which eventually led me to join this project. It is exciting to work in an international setting and a good way to get to know Finnish people as well as the way of creating things here in Finland. This project will definitely boost the whole group´s ability to work in an intercultural context.

Henkka

Hi everyone,
My name is Henri and  I'm a second year business administration student at Novia University of Applied Sciences. I am always interested in new mobile apps and mobile devices. I'm also a huge believer in companies doing their marketing via the social media and other cheaper sources.

I was already attending the course last year but then i got an job opportunity and I had to decide between those two, and I chose the latter one. The course fitted this year however perfectly in my schedule so i am very interested to see what we will be able to create under the given time limit. Our school gives me and the other ones from Novia good knowledge for team-working so hopefully I can help our team in many ways.

Random fact: I could stay home and watch football all day long, greatest sport in the world.

Mikael H

Hello! I'm Mikael or Micke as I am often called. I'm a third year business adminstration student in Novia University of Applied Sciences with a focus on marketing. I'm inspired by new trends, new technology, visualization and creative solutions in marketing.

I'm attending INNO58h now basically for the second time ( one year i participated without getting to Kunstenniemi). I'm quite familiar with the concept of working in INNO and like the freedom of coming up with innovative and creative solutions. The way of working is similar to ours in Novia and I think I have a lot to offer when we get the motor running with the group in Kunstenniemi. I'm also looking forward to Kunstenniemi with all it's tight deadlines, innovation, laughs and also the stress that follows the deadline.

ACTION!

Random fact: On my freetime i'm an amateur DJ.

Laura

I'm Laura, a 31 year old student from Turku University of Applied Sciencies where I study Hospitality Management.

When I´m not studying I like to to travel as much as possible and on weekends (and sometimes weeknights) I work in a café. I also have two children that keep me busy ;)

I attended this course because it sounded very interesting, and I believe that the course has a lot to offer me.

Innovation is a new way of learning for me and certainly useful in all fields. 

Nice to meet new people from different backgrounds!

Random fact: Traveling is my passion!

Jasmine

Hi! My name is Jasmine Kukko, 22 y/o, born and raised in the small town of Hanko, even though Turku is the city I've called my home since over 2½ years back. I'm currently studying international marketing at Handelshögskolan vid Åbo Akademi (HHÅA) on my practically second year with French as my minor (which I mostly studied last year). Next academic year I'm flying away to the US to try out the life as an exchange student and this year I wanted the last of the first year studies to be done and most of the second year studies and hooray I've almost accomplished that! I'm pretty ambitious and goal-oriented that way.

I signed up on the INNO58h course, because I thought it seemed as an interesting course and I need something more practical to do in the midst of all the lectures and reading theory. I'm eager to learn more new stuff, learn to be more creative and learn to work with totally new people from different schools. I'm currently functioning as the team leader for our group and so far all is okay and working out well, so I think we're all going to learn a lot and also learn from each other. Mostly I'm waiting for the real project to start in Kunstenniemi!

Random fact: I love travelling! Also I enjoy reading science magazines and watch documentaries on various subjects.

Team meeting

Yesterday we had a meeting with the whole group at Novia. We had just a short and effective meeting so that everyone in our team knows what we're doing, what we're supposed to do and what each of us is doing for the next working day. It was nice to see the whole team gathered (finally) and meet all face-to-face. Shortly we're going to put our individual presentations up here for you to see now that we've decided how to do them. Have a nice weekend all!
