Lead User innovation in floods resilience

Over the course of the last 6 months, we have been working to implement a lead user approach to identify innovative solutions to flooding and its effects on people, in Indonesia.

In close collaboration with the Indonesian Red Cross (Palah Merah Indonesia), as well as the Hamburg University of Technology Institute for Technology and Innovation Management, the Humanitarian Leadership Academy, Pulse Lab Jakarta, the Global Disaster Preparedness Center and Zurich Insurance, we have implemented a new methodology in the humanitarian sector called the Lead User method, ran a more traditional innovation challenge in parallel, and brought innovators from both processes together for a conference to share their ideas with potential partners.
