Introduction

The Designing Value Networks research group contributes to the knowledge development as well as to the design and expertise generation of applied models that enable organizations and professionals to sustain impact and foster innovation in an ecosystem context.

To reframe interactions in a collaborative format has become vital for designing futures that hold value. Therefore, the need to explore the essence of value networks through mapping out tools through nodes (members) and connectors (relationships).

About the research group

Within the research group, the following are the key research questions:

  • How can we design a collaboration in a way that promotes value and innovation, both within and outside an ecosystem?
  • How can we ensure that members within an ecosystem can have an impact through meaningful and innovative interactions?
  • How can we ensure the long-term preservation of value?
  • What new forms of network behavior and relational tools enable this?
  • What role does design play in this, and what are the limitations of our designs?

The research conducted by the research group Designing Value Networks focuses on various forms of collaboration among organizations and professionals. Some of these have already been explored by the Innovation Networks research group.

The research group fosters value design within the region and beyond by supporting existing interests and expertise.
