Afterwards, Carme Tarrag\u00f3, Head of the Studies and Innovation Department of the TPA and Coordinator of SOM-INN PORT, explained the results achieved with this Open Innovation Cycle.<\/p>\n
The consequent situation of COVID-19 has meant constant change management in the organization and development of the planned activities. Most of the activities have been done online, working remotely with the support of several digital tools and customizing the dynamics.<\/p>\n
In addition to the scheduled training activities, further training has been done on the use of new digital tools in order to facilitate the participation of the innovation agents.<\/p>\n
Satisfaction surveys have been done among the participants every time the format of the activities has been modified or new tools have been used, which has allowed us to make continuous improvement throughout the development of this cycle.<\/p>\n
The Agora sessions, the training activities, the inspirational talks and the workshops conducted synchronously have also been recorded and the videos have been uploaded to the SOM-INN PORT digital platform, in order to facilitate the monitoring of the innovation cycle for the innovation agents.<\/p>\n
Head of the Studies and Innovation Department of TPA and Coordinator of SOM-INN PORT during her speech in the 8th<\/sup> Agora session<\/p>\n Greater use has been made of the SOM-INN PORT digital platform, which has been even more useful and necessary in this cycle of innovation.<\/p>\n We have been very flexible to facilitate the participation and tasks of innovation agents.<\/p>\n The indicators for this cycle have been:<\/p>\n – 36 innovation challenges proposed by the ecosystem members<\/p>\n – 5 selected innovation challenges<\/p>\n – 5 cells of innovation-prototyping that have generated solutions for the challenges<\/p>\n – 29 participants in the cells<\/p>\n – 9 training sessions and inspirational talks<\/p>\n – 5 innovation workshops<\/p>\n – 197 generated ideas<\/p>\n – 5 Innovation projects with their prototypes as solutions to the challenges<\/p>\n – 17 Networking Activities<\/p>\n – 2 Congresses on innovation in which the members of the ecosystem have been able to participate<\/p>\n The activities carried out for the entire Innovation Ecosystem have been:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The activities carried out for the innovation-prototyping cells have been:<\/p>\n The prototypes made by the cells<\/strong> are the following:<\/p>\n Platform that uses IoT to facilitate the circulation and operation of AV within the port area, with the installation of sensors in specific places in the port that send real-time information on the situation of AV to the platform. The platform integrates both the logistics operations to be performed by AV and conventional vehicles.<\/p>\n “PORT CO-OPTIM” platform is web or APP for smartphones based on artificial intelligence, which allows: monitoring of loading\/unloading operations, facilitating the collaboration of users in providing information just in time, improving the planning of ship calls, optimizing the berthing line, improving the optimization of the infrastructures, controlling stocks and providing the finalization of the days of stowage with real-time performance; at the same time, eliminating the actions that provide little value.<\/p>\n It is a system to identify incidents within the Port in a collaborative way and disseminate good practices, using an App. This solution aims to contribute to achieving the objectives of environmental sustainability of the “Sustainability Plan of the Port of Tarragona”, minimizing the effects of incidents that occur in the port area, giving visibility to the good practices implemented by the companies of the port community, and raising awareness and co-responsibility.<\/p>\n “PORT 2 PORT” is a web platform with a marketplace that connects different logistics agents in the Camp de Tarragona and helps to promote routes and services with the Port. With a search engine, you can visualize the best route taking into account important aspects such as the type of cargo, type of transport, CO2 emissions, transit time, legal documentation, and always promoting rail transport and Tarragona as a reference port in the companies of the territory.<\/p>\n “Som-Inn Port Ventures” is a Corporate Venturing initiative with the aim of creating synergies between the Port of Tarragona and emerging companies in the territory. It consists of calls where logistics start-ups can openly present their proposals to the challenges posed by members of the port community (bottom-up). The aim is to offer an opportunity to grow in the entrepreneurial projects of the territory. The start-ups will have the possibility to get physical space and resources along with mentoring to develop their project idea quickly and effectively.<\/p>\n The responses to the global assessment survey conducted at the end of the 2020 open innovation cycle mainly reflect that:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Despite the difficulties involved in carrying out this innovation cycle due to the current situation, the planned activities have been conducted out thanks to the high motivation of all the people who have taken part.<\/strong><\/p>\n Image of participants<\/p>\n After two years of operation of Som-Inn Port and two open innovation cycles, the indicators are:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Afterwards, Marcos Urarte, strategic consultant, coach and expert speaker in business management, management models, leadership and innovation gave an inspiring talk entitled \u201cInnovating organizations vs. innovative organizations\u201d.<\/p>\n Marcos Urarte explained the evolution that the VUCA concept has made towards the VI2<\/sup>RCA2<\/sup>S concept and the need to put the future in the agenda of the present.<\/p>\n As for digitalization, he considers it a project of cultural transformation, where technology is needed.<\/p>\n He claims that technology alone is not innovation. People are needed for innovation: customers and collaborators.<\/p>\n Talent is \u201cthe oil\u201d of the 21st century. Surrounding yourself with people who are better than you is the ultimate expression of talent.<\/p>\n The culture of innovation in organizations is not what is said that must be done but what is really being done.<\/p>\n Almost all organizations innovate but few have the culture of innovation and are therefore innovative.<\/p>\n To make cultural change to be an innovating organization, it is necessary for the executive committee to believe in it. The best leadership is exemplary. The highest representative of the organization must be the sponsor of this cultural change. In organizations there are always people reluctant to make cultural change. These people must receive the message that “we want to make cultural change with you, but we will do it anyway in spite of you.”<\/p>\n Ram\u00f3n Garc\u00eda, General Manager of the Port Authority, thanked Marcos Urarte for his speech and ended the session of this 8th<\/sup> Agora and the activities of the open innovation cycle 2020 by thanking all the participants and indicating that the projects resulting from this cycle will be discussed with the different departments of the TPA to jointly study the implementation opportunites and options.<\/p>\n General Manager of the TPA at the end of the session<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 16 December 2020<\/p>\n Studies and Innovation Department<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With the 8th session of the Agora of SOM-INN PORT, held online on 16 December, the activities planned for the Open Innovation Cycle for this year were completed.
