- 4. Introduction At the endLoop#3, Round#1, current management and expert discussion on innovation drove to question potential limits to the digital economy. From a social, legal and environment viewpoint, the business model and ideation process disruption led by connected technologies highlight needs to better understand the value and remit of digital tools. How can smart change makers define a framework for digital technologies which respects human, cultural and sustainable constraints to solve systemic challenges? The on-going analysis driven on the blog has assessed a series of social, legal and environmental initiatives, gathering precious ideas and recommendations to make human sense of the digital economy. The customer requirements for the following plan can be found in: « How Social Innovation Shapes New Models », « Privacy, Sharing 2.0 and synergies that could save more than money », and « InnoMetrics: The Environment under state of emergency ». Based on these three collections of ideas, this operational plan uses « Human centricity and systemic innovation » management tools to define an intelligent scope for the digital economy through « The Diversity Scope ». To complement those findings with operational thinking on the digital economy, I have selected three expert comments: « The human questions behind AI business models », « Does innovation have borders ?» and « Emerging digital strategies ». Finally, the plan tracks and identifies an intelligent framework for digital tools through the human values, thinking framework and action plan for smart change makers defined through our initial « Tell Your Own Stories »: « How can you build human values for innovation? », and « How can you become the next exponential catalyst? ». The result combines a set of guidelines to build user centric digital solutions that enhance human creativity and problem solving skills with technological connectivity. weareinnovation.org
- 5. Author’s comment The risksand skills associated to the digital era may scare small organizations to use globally connected communication platforms. Recent security concerns and sharing economy discussions have highlighted potential threats that even major companies are still learning to cope with. Developing their own social and strategic connections, smaller businesses and associations may tend to favor human, offline ways of sharing information targeting local, non-digital savvy customers and users. Disrupted organizations and businesses potentially have had to replace appetite for growth by a necessity to survive under high economic pressure, restricting innovation and change potentials in places where it remains critically needed. This is rapidly becoming a source of lack of engagement within teams with little capacity (e.g. budget, skills or time) to develop or adapt to processes that would increase their operational efficiency. Intelligent models can be defined though, respecting the human, social and cultural requirements that are specific to expert and knowledge communities. They can help improve communication and information flows within teams and partnerships without invading social and natural ecosystems. Time consumption, irrelevance in a biodiversity or human driven context, costs and infrastructure are some of the key constraints to consider when addressing specific, local players. They have a key role to maintain the overall economic and social system. A long tail of small organizations with specific needs and requirements are looking to fully benefit from meaningful, humanly and environmentally respectful innovations, including digital solutions. Tiny, local retailers are limitedly addressed by complex, global and rapidly evolving platforms. Flexible and naturally agile organizations such as small citizen associations require a pragmatic and sustainable approach. They seek to enhance the connections and networks they have built to succeed, maintaining them intelligently so they can grow specific value from their expertise and partnerships. weareinnovation.org

- 7. Management view As societies,economies and policies struggle to define models and strategies that efficiently answer challenges faced on a global basis, social innovation led in limited yet impactful initiatives showcase the talents and skills needed to drive intelligent change. By outlining the shortcomings and opportunities identified in our current business, economic and social models, experts call on organizations to be inspired by social innovation and replicate attitudes that can lead to measurable benefits for all. As key players, companies and businesses partner and initiate new programs as a way to better include social impact in their objectives. They are yet to be supported by a political willingness to drastically invest in social changes. weareinnovation.org https://weareinnovation.org/2015/11/18/how-social-knowledge-shapes-new-models
- 8. Operational view Although AIbrings a strong appetite to market, the dependencies surrounding the delivery of adequate services and solutions seem to outweigh the business model maturity. With an on-going debate on long term value add of such services with regards to the economic changes AI may generate, and questions on human place in technology, experts and analysts provide a dynamic market overview of automation, machine learning and neural network researches, with the Internet of Things and Big Data as key enabler for future AI services. weareinnovation.org https://weareinnovation.org/2015/09/04/the-human-questions-behind-ai-business-models/
- 9. Experts view Individuals arebeing given the ability to learn, to know and to share more. By developing their inner and outer diversity and skills, they can enrich the level and variety of information they compute to make their own decision while aligning stories with their personal beliefs. They contribute both to their communities and their ecosystems. The capability of developing vertical and horizontal diversity to optimize inner and outer diversity in organizations and project teams is a critical component to make innovation smarter, systemic. weareinnovation.org https://gumroad.com/l/rppH

- 17. Management view As theyquestion the “green promises” of new business models, experts and analysts list the more or less successful initiatives that show a tangible willingness to drive environmental friendly policies and strategies. By doing so, they also remind the lack of political actions to follow such discourses for change. In the meantime, renewable energies can now showcase pragmatic and positive results to inspire a global turn in this battle to lower the impact of climate change. Time is now counted for such changes to happen, and the amount of pollution generated so far shows how difficult the task remains for both developed and developing countries. weareinnovation.org https://weareinnovation.org/2016/01/24/innometrics-the-environment-under-state-of-emergency/
- 18. Operational view While questioningthe social, political and economic drivers that could help assemble smart ideas from differences and synergies, experts highlight a necessity to rethink our priorities, and among them, the collaborative direction which should support our common sense of shared meaningfulness. There is no question about the digital turn our innovation developments are taking. In this highly pressured environment, change makers would be inspired to concentrate on one key question: do we fully understand the limits of our innovation capabilities , and if so, how can we innovate beyond those borders to make the most of the “exponential everything” ahead of us? weareinnovation.org https://weareinnovation.org/2017/02/14/does-innovation-have-borders/
- 19. Experts view Creativity andidea generation are not only supported by social, economic and technological drivers: in this connected and information rich era, is it also demanded by customers that are aware of the level of customer satisfaction they are allowed to require. As competences and information will cross barriers and job description to gradually create diverse communities of knowledge and skills addressing common issues, entrepreneurs and employees will need to develop diversity skills to understand where they fit in the new economy and what their individual and group value they can deliver. weareinnovation.org https://gumroad.com/l/rppH

- 28. Operational view While avast majority of analysts and experts agree on the growth opportunities brought by the digital era, it seems undeniable on the operational side that remaining hurdles restrain companies from achieving the full potential of newly developed tools and approaches to market. The level of information and connectivity implied by the digital economy is generating a need to better collaborate with new partners while developing new skills and organizations able to adapt to change. With all those challenges in mind, companies and society are jointly defining new ways of thinking business that give birth to “augmented innovation”. weareinnovation.org https://weareinnovation.org/2016/01/16/emerging-digital-strategies/
- 29. Experts view Diversity tendsto be envisaged as a regulatory compliance in current talks and analysis when it should be considered as a core competence for change. While it clearly drives business, organizational, economic and social benefits, it is first and foremost a natural and common human tool to generate ideas and solutions that not only helps a community and projects, but also participates to develop individuals and teams that support shared purpose and values. As such, diversity is a critical competence that any change agent and knowledge transmitter within communities, teams and organization should develop to make sure they connect their competencies to the rightly scoped issue. weareinnovation.org https://gumroad.com/l/rppH
