Idea Work is a research project that sets out to understand and professionalise the way ideas are created, combined, prioritised and implemented in organisations.
We focus on idea work as a collective practice and on zones of criticality in value creating activities. Participating partnering firms include Statoil (through its hydrocarbon exploration unit), Snøhetta, Thommessen, Point Carbon and SpareBank 1 Alliance.
