The Loginn project and its instruments

The Loginn project is supporting the development and up-take of innovations by providing a discussion and consensus building platform, the LogisticsArena (LogisticsArena, 2013) aiming at bringing the potential stakeholders and providers together, fostering information exchange and user involvement in the development phase according to principles of co-creation and participatory design. (Schumacher, 2013; Sanders & Stappers, 2008; Bødker, 2005). These 5 Meyer-Larsen et al. principles are not only applicable for product but also service design, and thus also relevant for transport and logistics service development. Loginn will support innovation adoption in transport logistics by taking a holistic approach that considers several mutually reinforcing aspects of innovation: business models, logistics practices and technologies.
• Business models are the representation of the way the members of a supply chain use their skills and resources to increase customer and shareholder value.
 • Logistics Practices of interest for Loginn are the ones that have enabled the transport industry to efficiently evolve in the recent years.
• The technologies considered by Loginn are the one that can support the transport industry, whether they concern infrastructure, hardware, software, or complete eco-systems.

Due to the interrelation between the three pillars, a holistic approach is essential for deriving an action plan aiming at innovation-uptake. Besides, this approach will favour the customization of RTD results towards industrial demand solutions, supporting the development of sustainable business plans for European RTD projects, exploiting synergies between European RTD projects to enable a seamless exchange between RTD projects and logistics stakeholders and finally enabling and supporting the access to Investors (Loginn 2013a-c; L4L, 2010a, 2011a,b, 2012a,b).
