Innovative workshops at the crossroads between Collective Intelligence and Design Thinking<\/h2>\n

bluenove has been working hand-in-hand with CITEO\u2019s Innovation Department for the last 5 years.<\/p>\n

Created following the 2017 merger between Ecofolio and Eco-emballage, CITEO<\/a> is an accredited eco-organism committed to France\u2019s extended producer responsibility (EPR) strategy for household packaging and graphic paper.<\/p>\n

CITEO created an open innovation programme, Circular Challenge<\/strong>, to detect, test and accelerate innovative solutions contributing to a circular economy for packaging and paper. Over the last 5 years, more than 1,400 solutions<\/strong>\u00a0have been detected,\u00a050 projects<\/strong>\u00a0accompanied, and more than 100 million euros raised<\/strong>\u00a0by Circular Challenge finalists. The programme is driven by experimentation using methods based on collective intelligence, design and Citeo\u2019s Circular Challenge Do Tank. Bluenove provides support during the detection phase of the open innovation Circular Challenge<\/strong>, which has become a reference event for circular economy start-ups. Bluenove also accompanies Citeo\u2019s Circular Challenge Do Tank<\/strong>, a series of iterative workshops to solve problems through prototyping.<\/p>\n

Find out more about the Circular Challenge Do Tank through the example of the Reducing Household Packaging at Source Do Tank,<\/strong> which took place in July 2020.<\/p>\n

What is a Circular Challenge Do Tank?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Circular Challenge Do Tank is an initiative developed by CITEO to build concrete solutions to complex problems by bringing together different players. The aim? Move from problem to solution prototype<\/strong> in 3-6 days.<\/p>\n

Circular Challenge Do Tanks combine open innovation and collective intelligence, in particular, the capacity to mobilise communities around key challenges, to co-create new solutions quickly. Two such events had already been organised focusing on challenges of soft packaging <\/strong>and how to harmonise and improve recycling collection and sorting. <\/strong><\/p>\n

What made the Reducing Household Packaging at Source <\/strong>version held in June and July 2020 special? A 100% digital and remote<\/strong> format adapted to the difficult health situation.<\/p>\n

POC method<\/u><\/em><\/h3>\n

The POC method is based on design thinking and Google design sprints<\/a>. The aim? Understand the problem and solve it collectively by creating a concept that can be prototyped and tested.<\/p>\n

However, there is often a gap between the model and the reality because of different constraints generated by problems, participants, expectations, timing, and, in this instance, the Covid-19 health crisis.<\/p>\n

These parameters can lead to adjustments. The idea is to adapt very quickly in real-time without destroying the foundations of the methodology.<\/p>\n
