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.

Innovation Norway - procurement

Innovation Norway wanted to increase the use of innovative procurement in the humanitarian sector. One of the challenges is that innovative procurements are a bit difficult to carry out and quite time and resource consuming. With that as a starting point, we prepared a guide for innovation-friendly procurement. Innovation-friendly procurement is a good starting point for organizations that want to have a greater focus on innovation in their procurement. By focusing a little more on a good needs analysis, carrying out some market dialogue activities and having more open requirements specifications, you can get a much greater innovation potential in ordinary procurement without requiring too much. The guide says a lot more about this, so just send us a message and we will send it to you!

Troms and Finnmark County Council

Together with Troms and Finnmark County Council, we prepared an application for innovation partnerships for innovation Norway for the project "securing avalanches on the road". They came through the eye of the needle, and we have assisted in the work on demand analysis, structuring of the project and the development of a requirement specification. The majority of our work in the project has been related to the market dialogue where through the portal we have www.markedsdialog.no have secured thorough and common information to the market, been responsible for implementation and registration for dialogue conferences and one-on-one meetings, secured a large degree of media coverage, cooperation with a number of networks and clusters. In all the work, we have focused on meeting startups and entrepreneurs and suppliers who do not usually deliver in this area – and motivate them to submit a tender.

Rollag Municipality

The change manager in Rollag municipality had a wild idea; can the health center that the municipality wants built in a few years become a health-promoting building - "a building that heals" ?. Well, we said and connected to the project and tried to keep up with the municipality's great level of ambition. After a preliminary study, the answer was "yes!". Through 2020 and 2021, we have assisted the municipality in finding the right level of innovation, weighing risk against price and not least applying the principles in innovation-friendly procurements; actively engage in dialogue with potential entrepreneurs, competence environments and other partners, and get them to jump on the ball to enter as suppliers to the future health center in Rollag. You will find out if the project reaches its goal during 2024!
