Innovation
knowledge management ♦ creativity ♦ new ways of working ♦ process improvement
Take our innovation survey here
A culture of innovation energises staff and stakeholders to apply information, imagination and initiative to solve old challenges in new ways.
At =mc we specialise in helping organisations create the culture, processes and knowledge management systems needed for innovation to flourish, and for them to become learning organisations.
We can help:
- design programmes to nurture innovation at an individual, team and organisational level
- help develop a creative culture where everyone feels able to think and act in new ways
- share techniques to ensure new ideas are thoroughly tested before being rolled out
- develop knowledge management systems to establish and capture core knowledge and organisational wisdom
- support Innovation Units or Innovation Managers in techniques to develop and assess ideas or projects
- generate imaginative ways to clarify and codify organisational knowledge
The =mc approach
Over the last five years we have developed a series of unique models and tools that help not-for-profit organisations drive successful innovation. These models include a mix of mainstream and radical strategies from Innovation Radar to the Sacred Cow Bar B Que.
The unique =mc Innovation Value Chain allows our customers to benchmark their own innovation processes against a dataset of other national or international organisations.
