Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs France has a new tool on the center of Villarceaux: The Creativ'Lab. The principle is simple: set a place at the heart center research where the exploration of concepts and ideas are studied systematically. The company still defining a contour encompassing business, it creates a paradox when it asks its engineers and researchers to think "out side of the box". The creativ'Lab is a tiny element part answer to this paradox and offers a place to start or conceptual drift is encouraged.
ep.11 Innovation at Work: Video Open Days Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs France
Born
very pragmatic need for the meeting rooms were ill-suited for creativity sessions, several of us have defended and led this project. This equipment, dedicated researchers from Bell Labs France, seeks to create a mismatch with the local "standard" (which management ALBLF also seeks to change). The concept is to try to create a more relaxed atmosphere, so as to play down the error that is inherent in the invention process. Mode trial and error is one of the engines of acquiring knowledge and skills, it is paramount bring this type of message, to encourage risk taking on new ideas. Caution is often créaticide when taking a risk, followed by a failure always provides a useful lesson. Dr Richard Feynman said for example that could measure the progress of a student number of trials and errors he made (See Creative space of Peter Loyd ).
The Creativ'Lab is also a place of experimentation in terms of methods of creativity, co-innovation and design. In a few months now, we have experienced the CK theory with students from the School of Mines different creative methods such as Mind Mapping, Creative Problem Solving and especially experimenting with methods of quick prototyping and Open Innovation. Boosted by the fact that it does not copy the methods of champions such as Google or Apple, but that each company must invent its own process of creation and transformation of ideas. This is also a source for me pleasure to participate in this adventure rather than dreaming of working at the premises of the latter. There are infinitely more satisfaction to invent the new Google rather than being the mere consumer of research "design" after the recruitment strategy.
It is interesting to measure Creativ'Lab's place on the video that accompanies this post. This proves that the initiative of researchers is greeted positively by the management of Alcatel-Lucent. I want to thank all participants in this project either in terms of incentives and allocation of budget or in terms of active participation: BA, FB, JL.B, AS.B, DD, FL IO JM.M, AM, FP (2).
