empathivithy is the acronym for empathy and creativity, two essential skills for innovation. 

The empathivity concept is deployed through an innovation model that integrates best practices and recommendations from standards such as ISO 56002:2019 or EFQM innovations lens.

The implementation of the innovation model takes place in a collaborative workspace, in which a company's stakeholders (employees, customers, suppliers, partners, ...) collaborate fluidly with external agents in innovation activities that generate value for the company in the short, medium and long term.

• Shape a culture of innovation.
• Engage key stakeholders.
• Optimise the value equations of key markets and customers.
• Generate opportunities to create present and future value.
• Formulate value creation challenges.
• Conceptualise and materialise products, services and processes that generate new value.
• Balance potential impact and risk of new initiatives.
• Effectively manage the present and future knowledge required by the organisation.
• Exploit the value of own and third-party intangible assets.
• Increase innovation capabilities by developing relationships with experienced innovation partners.
• Finance innovation activities.
• Monitor the effectiveness of innovation activities.

• You will provide your organisation the agility to adapt to the ever-changing scenarios.
• You will increase the commitment of your people to the generation of sustainable value for the organisation, society and the planet.
• You will strengthen the resilience of your organisation to face the threats generated by the complex and uncertain context that characterises the current age.
• You will harness the transformative potential of the technological and talent disruption that also characterises this age.

empathivithy is designed to adapt to 5 levels of innovation: Starting, Planning, Integrating, Enhancing and Leading. The requirements for each level are those of the EFQM Innovation Lens.

Each level has a series of associated modules that are activated as the organisation progresses in innovation.

Some of the modules include:

• Innovation Culture.
• Innovation strategy.
• Incremental, radical and disruptive innovation plans.
• Value Analysis.
• The funnel of conversion of opportunities to solution concepts.
• Project management.
• Knowledge management.
• Intellectual asset management.
• The innovation ecosystem.
• Financing.
• The scorecard and quarterly monitoring reports.

Modularity also facilitates adaptation to different innovation organisational structures: Innovation Unit, Innovation Function or Open Innovation, among others.

On the other hand, the model is deployed in three layers: incremental, radical and disruptive innovation, so it can be adapted to the level of risk that the organisation wishes to assume at any given time.

The workspace is built on Notion, the collaborative framework used by the world's most innovative teams.

It can be accessed as a cloud service (Innovation as a Service).

The workspace is currently in the Alpha phase, being tested on customers with a deep innovation background.

empathivithy uses tokenisation for two purposes:

1. rewarding and acknowledging the innovation efforts of individuals and teams.
2. to raise funds for innovation projects and patents managed on the empathivity community.

The tokens are generated by empathivity's client organisations and DeFi investors in exchange for fiat money ($, €, ...).

The tokens are distributed among individuals and teams in client organisations and innovation service providers. 

The tokens earned by an innovator are an indicator of his or her skills, involvement and performance in innovation. When they reach certain levels, NFT certificates are minted to certify their innovation competences.

Token holders (innovators, organizations and investors) can use their tokens to:

1. Invest in the empathivity community's innovation projects and patents.
2. Invest in decentralized finance protocols (DeFi).
3. Exchange them for other tokens (BTC, ETH, ...) or fiat money ($, €, ...).
4. Donate to decarbonisation projects.

empathivithy provides training and support for operation in the decentralised economy.
