Goal
Target groups are those micro and small and medium size companies that need support for technology adoption or regeneration for practices to maintain competitive advance. An indirect objective of the project is to increase employees competences, and maintain existing works in the particular areas. In the long run, the aim is to entrench Lean Startup practices as the internal work practices for the firms, for instance quick experimentations, on-going reflections of own duties and well-being at work, and networked co-development actions. As results, the companies assimilate entrepreneur team culture and co-competence for innovations, competence for networking and employees identify the possibilities of IT-tools. Special attention is paid on new, agile exercises on value creation and co-creation, through a model, networked, competence driving thinking.
