Tiivistelmä
The knowledge relevant to solve complex problems such as
wellbeing challenges requires skills and socio-technological environments which systematically bring people together with different, complementary and even controversial points of view while forming an innovation community. Grounded on intercultural collaboration, Triple Helix, trans-disciplinary and cross-functionality theoretical approaches which are known to foster innovations, we propose open innovation driven filtering cube framework in order to evaluate the diversity of participants and topics within innovation events. By following the constructive action research approach, the usefulness of our suggested construct is tested in context of wellbeing innovation event. The observations relating to student reflections of the test event were in-line with the suggestions of our filtering cube construct and indicted somewhat low level heterogeneity among participants. However, the particular innovation event supported various other skills relating innovation capabilities.
