2 DIF 2014 ROUND UP REPORT FESTIVAL LABS Physical meet ups with real-world design challenges accessible in Fab Labs globally. The Disruptive Innovation Festival (DIF) is conceived as a four-week long, online and face to face opportunity to explore a changing economy and how best to respond to it. It has an emphasis on design, technology and entrepreneurship. The challenge to participants in Year 1 was “What do I need to know, experience and do?” Since it is completely open, the DIF is essentially an initiative in informal education. There are no learning outcomes as such, and it is not a course. It does, however, act as an umbrella for many formal university oerings. The DIF uses a festival analogy, lasts for a dened period and is layered from the top down. It has headliners, ‘big top’ [University] tents, curated stages, and open mic and impromptu café to describe its various layers. Organisational control of content and activity becomes reduced at each step down. The primary reason for this is to allow participation and scale. It is user experience orientated and exible. Its core is the database driven website which has many of the characteristics of a sophisticated booking agency — for contributors as well as participants. The DIF is about the circular economy and much more. It is an opportunity for exploring innovation, which may be/or is disrupting the old economy. Some of this might be easily linked to the ‘meme’ or core story underlying the circular economy, but some is less obvious: about systems thinking, for example, or design, or how we teach and learn. It is certainly about the way the economy is changing and how a participant and visitor might be interested and stimulated to look further, understand more and continue from there. It is set out as a cornucopia, deliberately overstocked to suggest abundance and possibility. It contained nearly 250 hours of scheduled sessions in its rst year. It is an event not a library. The DIF ends 30 days after its last session — in a ‘catch up’ mode. After that most content is no longer available for public view. Other characteristics include the way in which the DIF reects the progressive agenda of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. It seeks to develop thinking t for the 21 st century through experimentation with a new engagement model that is open access, working creatively to connect with a network of innovators who have the capability to disrupt the global economy. It is a global platform embryo, which aspires to ever greater eciency (delivery of more with less as scale increases) and the database becomes rened. The language question is a particular challenge, which we hope to address during DIF 2015. The long-term goal of the DIF is that it will be broadcast in all of the world’s major languages. The DIF is evolving and will probably never reach a nal conguration since it is feedback rich, proudly collaborative and participatory, whilst acting as a tremendous focus for the work of the Foundation and its aims. Ken Webster, Head of Innovation ELLEN MACARTHUR FOUNDATION STAGES The Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s curated content with big picture themes and trends to watch. THE CAFÉ Forum takeovers, facilitated discussion and live chat. BIG TOP TENTS University-led online learning programmes based on the shift to a regenerative economy. For example in 2014 TU Delft hosted a one-day Circular Product Design event, which was also streamed online. HEADLINERS Must-see thinkers and thought leaders. OPEN MIC Online as well as physical events with contributions from people like you all over the world. WHAT IS THE DIF?
