Barriers present in Living Labs: Lessons learned from ICT Living Labs in Flanders

Boekbijdrage - Boekhoofdstuk Conferentiebijdrage

This research provides insights into stumbling blocks when establishing a living lab. We start by shedding light on the phenomenon through a literature review on barriers in innovation management and living lab literature more specifically. Next, we present an exploratory framework with barriers found within four different ICT living labs in Flanders. Combining expert interviews with document analysis of generated outcomes, we identify barriers present in living labs and take a closer look at difficulties that arise when working with diverse stakeholders in the design, execution and delivery phase. By shedding light on these hurdles, we wish to counterbalance the overtly positive viewpoints proclaimed in the current living labs literature. Our insights serve scholars and industrials that wish to anticipate those issues and increase the success of living labs or other open innovation initiatives. More concretely we advise practitioners to carefully consider the living lab partners, goals and thematic focus, and integrate Lean UX or SCRUM principles into living lab project modelling.
