Abstract
Dette speciale undersøger, hvordan kreativitet former innovation i SEV på både individ- og organisationsniveau. Det beskriver, hvordan en organisation kan opbygge en innovationsramme til at håndtere radikale forandringer. For at forstå, hvordan kreativitet bliver til innovation, går studiet under overfladen af det daglige arbejde og den bredere organisatoriske sammenhæng ved hjælp af etnografiske metoder, der undersøger hverdagspraksisser og giver et helhedsbillede. Historisk har SEV prioriteret teknologisk innovation og fulgt en monokulturel tilgang, der primært bygger på én type faglighed. Ambitionerne i SEV’s Vision 2030 rummer dog udfordringer, som ikke kun er tekniske, men også sociale og organisatoriske. Som svar herpå foreslår specialet en konceptuel model, der understøtter løsninger med afsæt i samfundsvidenskabelige perspektiver. Det konkluderer, at SEV kan styrke kreativiteten ved at bevæge sig ud over sit nuværende praksisfællesskab og arbejde mere tværfagligt.
This thesis explores how creativity shapes innovation at SEV at both the individual and organizational levels. It outlines how an organization can build an innovation framework to navigate radical change. To explain how creativity turns into innovation, the study looks beneath the surface of daily work and the wider organizational context, using ethnographic methods that examine everyday practices and provide a holistic view. Historically, SEV has prioritized technological innovation, following a monoculture approach that relies mainly on one type of expertise. The ambitions in SEV’s Vision 2030, however, bring challenges that are not only technical but also social and organizational. In response, the thesis proposes a conceptual model that supports solutions grounded in social-scientific perspectives. It concludes that SEV could strengthen creativity by reaching beyond its current community of practice and adopting a more interdisciplinary approach.
