Key Enabling Methodologies (KEMs) for mission-driven innovation: New chapter on Ethics and responsibility

Research output: Chapter in Book/Conference proceedings/Edited volumeChapterProfessional

Abstract

This chapter is informed by literature research and conversations with eight experts (six academics and two practitioners) working at the intersection of technology, design, innovation, and ethics. This collaborative effort resulted in a preliminary mapping of ethics-focused methods and approaches based on two main dimensions, (see Figure 1, section 2): (1) assessment to accompaniment and (2) theory-grounded approaches to theoretically-flexible techniques. This emerging typology is intended to trigger discussion in design and innovation teams and to help navigate various ways of engaging with ethics through critical questions and healthy disagreements. As a result, the KEM in this category address questions such as: how to create space for responsibility and accountability in multidisciplinary, multistakeholder (i.e., networked) innovation processes? How to deal with moral dilemmas and paradoxes? How to identify and address value conflicts among stakeholders, such as citizens, government, industry, experts, etc.? How to engage with ethics in a positive and experientable manner? How to navigate some of the key ethics-focused methods and approaches at the intersection of philosophy of technology and design?
