Master Thesis: Tool to measure progress within sustainable innovation in development projects
This year's Master Thesis is released! - We at Avalon Innovation are looking for you who want to build the content of a platform to measure sustainable innovation in development projects.
Avalon Innovation's vision is to become The Scandinavian Innovation Company. For us, this means that we have a clear focus on developing sustainable, innovative product and system solutions that really make a difference.
Through deep insights into market- and data-driven innovation, a keen ability to drive complex projects and a deep technical know-how, we help our customers face the future effectively.
In our work, we use our innovation model, AIM™, to develop our innovative solutions, in the steps Insight, Ideate & Implement. We are constantly improving our process and as the next step in this work we have identified a need to measure the progress we are making in our solutions regarding sustainable innovation within 9 (or more/fewer) categories.
For us, sustainable innovation is about the ability to develop new solutions that respond to real needs, that the market needs and that future generations will appreciate. In order to succeed, it is required that all departments in a company take clear ownership of the sustainability issue and drive their decisions towards common sustainable values, to a converging joint solution.
The Master Thesis will involve collaborating with us to develop a tool that assists teams in sustainable innovation. This tool will address questions related to sustainability and aid in selecting proposals based on measurable sustainable parameters. The project team can then use these parameters to evaluate and enhance their solutions, receiving concrete recommendations. This process allows the team to clearly track their progress in considering environmental and sustainability factors.
We are looking for people who have studied sustainability, circular economy and product development. The important thing for us is that you have a solid interest and desire to contribute to a more sustainable future.
