Abstract
Klimaændringer udgør en alvorlig risiko, og mange organisationer handler for at begrænse den. SGRE arbejder på at reducere sin klima- og miljøpåvirkning ved at afholde et digitalt innovationsarrangement med medarbejderne. Denne afhandling udvikler et eventsystem for SGRE, der skal hjælpe med at generere idéer, som kan reducere eller afbøde miljøpåvirkninger. Systemet bygger på interviews med SGRE-medarbejdere samt litteratur om innovation, digitalisering og eventledelse. Systemet, kaldet Sustainable Innovation Event structure, har to dele: en overordnet ramme, der fastlægger mål og afgrænsning for arrangementet, og en række workshops, hvor idéer skabes til at håndtere miljøudfordringer. Der arbejdes med fire niveauer af struktur, tilpasset forskellige problemtyper: 1) stram struktur til lokale, klart afgrænsede problemer, 2) moderat struktur til lokale problemer med nogle usikkerheder, 3) mild struktur til globale problemer set i en lokal kontekst og 4) lempelig struktur til globale 'wicked' problemer – meget komplekse udfordringer uden én rigtig løsning. Hvert niveau har et på forhånd defineret workshopforløb, der skal fremme nytænkning og samtidig holde fokus, så der kan udvikles idéer til at afbøde miljøproblemer. Da systemet endnu ikke er testet i praksis, og der er usikkerheder omkring implementeringen, kan det blive nødvendigt at justere strukturen. Konklusionen er, at systemet kan støtte SGRE i at nå sine miljømål, når det tages i brug og eventuelt tilpasses.
Climate change poses serious risks, and many organizations are acting to reduce them. SGRE is working to shrink its climate and environmental impact by running a digital innovation event with its employees. This thesis designs an event system for SGRE to help generate ideas that can reduce or mitigate environmental impacts. The system is based on interviews with SGRE employees and on literature about innovation, digitalization, and event management. The system, called the Sustainable Innovation Event structure, has two parts: an overall event framework that sets scope and goals, and a set of workshops where ideas are created to address environmental issues. It defines four levels of structure matched to different kinds of problems: (1) strict structure for local, well-defined issues; (2) moderate structure for local issues with some uncertainty; (3) mild structure for global issues examined in a local context; and (4) lenient structure for global 'wicked' problems—highly complex challenges without a single right solution. Each level comes with a predefined workshop design that supports creative idea generation while keeping discussions focused on mitigation. Because the system has not yet been test-run and there are uncertainties around implementation, it may need adjustment. The conclusion is that, once implemented and refined, the system can help SGRE reach its environmental goals.
