In the past decades, we have faced an increase in the digitization, digitalization, and digital transformation of our
work and daily life. Breakthroughs of digital technologies in fields such as artificial intelligence, telecommunications,
and data science bring solutions for large societal questions but also pose a new challenge: how to equip our (future)
workforce with the necessary digital skills, knowledge, and mindset to respond to and drive digital transformation?
Developing and supporting our human capital is paramount and failure to do so may leave us behind on individual
(digital divide), organizational (economic disadvantages), and societal level (failure in addressing grand societal
challenges). Digital transformation necessitates continuous learning approaches and scaffolding of interdisciplinary
collaboration and innovation practices that match complex real-world problems. Research and industry have
advocated for setting up learning communities as a space in which (future) professionals of different backgrounds
can work, learn, and innovate together. However, insights into how and under which circumstances learning
communities contribute to accelerated learning and innovation for digital transformation are lacking. In this project,
we will study 13 existing and developing learning communities that work on challenges related to digital
transformation to understand their working mechanisms. We will develop a wide variety of methods and tools to
support learning communities and integrate these in a Learning Communities Incubator. These insights, methods and
tools will result in more effective learning communities that will eventually (a) increase the potential of human
capital to innovate and (b) accelerate the innovation for digital transformation
Recent advances in digital technologies profoundly influence our daily lives and work. While enabling solutions to societal issues, these technologies also demand new knowledge and skills from professionals. An increasingly common way for organizations to address this issue is to set up learning communities as a space in which (future) professionals of different backgrounds can work, learn, and innovate together. The CLIC-IT project explores how public-private learning communities can foster learning, collaboration, and innovation among participants and develop supportive methods and tools. One challenge faced by learning communities is making value creation and impact visible and enhancing it. To facilitate a dialogue on value creation and the mechanisms that produce value, we developed a serious board game. The game allows learning community participants to identify individual and collective mechanisms ofvalue creation and fosters discussion on the collaboration’s value. The workshopincludes a brief introduction, followed by gameplay to experience the game’s potential firsthand. Subsequently, the game experience will be discussed, and feedback will be collected to use for further refinement. Participants will walk away with an increased sense of the underlying mechanisms for value creation in interorganizational collaborations and new ideas to advance value creation in their own projects.
