Involving others to solve your safety and security questions
Structure of the Safety & Security Atelier
The Safety & Security Atelier is a method for solving safety and security issues for which there is currently no clear solution on the shelf. Every year, safety issues are brought in by a number of clients in order to solve them using the method of the Safety & Security Atelier. For each issue, the client gives an amount for coordinating and organizing the studio and reserves an amount for a field lab, where a good solution can be tested. For a first meeting, various people from all walks of life are invited to study and explore the questions together. (The question articulation) This first session takes about two hours, which seems very long but is usually too short. After a few weeks, people come back together to brainstorm and explore possible working solutions. Then people, companies and knowledge institutions can submit proposals for setting up a field lab / pilot, in which the added value of the solution or research is proven. A jury assesses the submissions and indicates which proposals deserve an assignment. The field labs are supervised and co-created on an innovative solution to the security issue.
Using each other's knowledge, skills and experience
A security issue is a typical social challenge that affects everyone. Solving these issues requires commitment, knowledge, skills and experience. The past three years have shown that phased execution according to the Triple-Helix method of the safety workshop makes it possible to arrive at concrete and fast solutions. Come together with respect for everyone's knowledge and skills and work according to this 10-step plan. This makes it possible to create solutions to difficult issues
The Safety & Security Atelier leans on three pillars:
- Triple-Helix: Bringing together people in a triple-helix formation (Government, Education and Enterprise);
- Respect: Understanding that people have different specialty, visions and goals which they have developed from their own background and perspective;
- Motivation: Having the intrinsic will to solve issues "Safety and security is everyone's business".

Info
Why a Safety & Security Atelier?
The method of the Safety&Security Atelier years has been very successful since 2013. The method is characterized in the first place by articulating the real question well so that others, experts in other fields, can see and feel what the real problem is. It is often very difficult to ask the question in such a way that it can be understood by a person who does not deal with this question on a daily basis. The clients would very much like to have the safety issue fully or partially solved because the available products or working methods do not offer an adequate solution. They give the organizer a financial commitment that they want to support a possibly good proposal to solve the issue and have it tested in a field lab (living lab or pilot). In this solution-oriented field lab, the contractor (the person with the best solution) must prove how and to what extent the proposed innovation will contribute to the solution of the safety issue.
History
In 2013, Mayor Peter Noordanus appealed to all companies and knowledge institutions in Tilburg;
With all the experience, knowledge and skills in our environment, it should be possible to solve issues that concern us all.
Tilburg is number 3 on the national crime score list of the Algemeen Dagblad.
Let's bring together our many talents from the region and start building solutions for long stuck security issues.
He asked Jan Otten to achieve this./
He developed the Safety & Security Atelier as a solution method for this with innovation subsidy from MidPoint Brabant.
A solution-oriented method that links technological innovation with social innovation to deliver concrete results.
