Background and definitions
Definition:
• 

• 

Serendipity is a quality of mind,
which through awareness,
sagacity and good fortune
allows one to frequently discover
something good while looking
for something else!

Work

It illustrates also the process
leading to serendipitous findings
and value creation!

!

Background:
• 

The Persian fable from 6th
century ”The Travels and
Adventures of Three Princes of
Serendip”!

• 

Horace Walpole coined the
word, Robert K. Merton & Elinor
Barber studied the etymology
and elaborated further!

!”Design for serendipity”, Hagel&Seely Brown&Davison!
!”Maximize serendipity around you”, Nassim Nicholas Taleb!
!”Engineering serendipity” !
!”Cultivating serendipity”!
!… also serendipity engines, serendipity machines are mentioned!

Coincidensity – diversity and social density (Stowe Boyd / Matt Biddulph)!

Capturing is vital, how to do it?
What kind of clicker are you? … non clicker, one clicker etc!
How to make distractions work for you?!
… balance between background/foreground problems, information seeking/
encountering!

Anytime you find some interesting, use getpocket – software, and get back to
interesting information whenever you have the opportunity to do so.!

‘Rubin, Burkell & Quan – Haase’ - model

Ref:	
  h2p://www.informaDonr.net/ir/16-­‐3/paper488.html
Some remarks about the model
Facet A: Prepared Mind!
Ø  Prior concern + previous experience Social Capital as important! !
!!
Facet B: Act of Noticing!
Ø  Observation / attention

Insight and collective insight needed!

!
Facet C: Chance!
Ø  Accidental nature / perceived lack of control
desperation also valúable!

Contradictions and creative

!
Facet D: Fortuitous Outcome!
> Perceived gain / happy ending

Might take a long time to capture/realize!

!
Serendipity: reframing the events / a story re-told / an unsought finding!

Luck vs. preparedness
!
!

!

”If an unexpected event or encounter will turn out to be
fruitful and create some value, will depend largely on
one’s ability to discover and be insightful. Therefore,
”getting lucky” is in most cases a matter of preparedness
and not a result of pure luck”. !

Definition of Serendipity Management
!
“Serendipity management is a comprehensive set of
tools and facilitation methodologies, which through:!

!* workspace design - both physical and virtual !
!* facilitation of unexpected encounters and
!collective insight in team building !
will support the emergence of new combinations of
competences and hence the generation of breakthrough
ideas.”!
