We develop innovative organizations

It is one thing to carry out an individual innovation project, it is something completely different to build an innovative organization. An organization where it is clear what role innovation has and how to focus on it, where the management is motivated for, encourages, and not least, knows what to do to increase innovation, and where you get a good combination of many small improvements and some major innovation projects. The goal is to get all employees to contribute to the work of finding new solutions, where you have good structures and methods in place to ensure that you make the right choices and get efficient processes. We have analysis tools to find out where you stand, systems to find out where you will get the most for your efforts, and concrete solutions that we can implement together. And, it does not have to be very extensive processes (unless you want exactly that then).

Individual Människohjälp

Individuell Människohjälp (IM), is a Swedish aid organization that works for a world without poverty and exclusion by empowering people to change their own situation. IM wanted to map and gain an insight into the organization's starting point for continuing its innovation and development work. We conducted a process that included an innovation analysis, in-depth interviews with employees and a workshop with employees from different parts and levels of the organization. In the process, we jointly identified which areas were most important to focus on first, and which could provide the greatest value. We then prepared a number of concrete proposals on what they could do to strengthen their further innovation work. Based on the process, combined with their own experiences, IM wanted to create even better structures and conditions for all employees to feel confident, motivated and have the capacity to work with idea development and change work - as individuals and as a team.

Troms and Finnmark County Council

It is fun when we can work with an organization that is as motivated and dedicated in the innovation work as Per Bjørn in the Transport Division in TFFK. We started the collaboration in 2018 and have worked with them ever since. They really wanted to get better at innovation and we started with an analysis of where they were good and where they had challenges. With this as a backdrop, we have taken steps step by step and have, among other things, thought new about strategy and strategic management of innovation and sustainability, established an innovation team to build innovation culture and competence, prepared structures for idea work and portfolio management and made a number of small steps. together they have now become a robust innovation organization that drives change in the sector.

Mietinen machine

Sometimes we do not meet right away, and after we had worked for a while with Kjell in the machine contractor Mietinen AS, he was clear that he did not feel that they got any further in their innovation work. They still had a bunch of ideas, they had now got them into a structure, but they still did not get progress and then they were just as far. We had to take a good step back and see if we could make the processes even easier and clearer so it became clear what they should prioritize, what they should do and how they should organize the work. Then it came loose, and suddenly there was so much progress that they had to hold back a bit.

Innovation programme for SMB

In our innovation program for SMEs, we have received clear feedback that one of the most useful modules was involving innovation. Here, together with the companies, we have analyzed which players have the greatest value in including - it can be employees, customers, suppliers, the board or someone completely different. Once the companies had chosen who they would prioritize, we prepared clear structures for the work by defining clear goals and activities that could be implemented. The conclusion? It's amazing how much value you can get with even fairly small grips.

We build innovation teams in your organization

Innovation teams, innovation ambassadors, innovation champions - dear children have many names. What they all have in common is that we gather a number of employees who are motivated to understand and work more with innovation. We agree on the team's roles and responsibilities, ensure leadership anchoring, get information out into the organization and begin the work. To ensure that the team gets the best possible job, we find out what prerequisites must be in place, select some common methods and tools, develop necessary structures, provide training and guidance and work with the team to ensure good innovation processes, progress and value creation.

Coca Cola Beverages Africa

Coca-Cola Beverages Africa is one of Uganda's largest employers, and has a clear focus on innovation. They selected 20 of their most motivated employees and during 6 months, 4 two-day sessions and work between sessions, we developed together with the management team a dedicated, knowledgeable and insanely inspiring team of "innovation champions". Through the program, they got to work practically with the innovation process and organizational development. They also received concrete tools, knowledge replenishment and outside inspiration. One of the results was that CCBA designed a structured innovation process to take ideas for tested solutions. They also received far more ideas with higher quality from the entire organization. It was fantastic to hear what the participants had learned and the improvement suggestions they presented to the management.

Transport division TFFK

We have worked with the transport division in the county municipalities in Finnmark / Troms and Finnmark for many years, and after they had put in place a strategy, a good culture and good structures, we saw that there was a need for a separate team that could work with this. All departments selected one person for the innovation team and we worked with them to put in place a clear mandate, good structures and necessary expertise. It is fun to see how even those who were a little unsure of the value of this work at first got an unexpected glow and commitment to innovation.
