Innovation at the IBTS
Innovation is the creation and implementation of new, viable products and services that adds value. In our view, this refers to something that is new or different and / or improves the experience of our service users (donors, hospital clients, clinicians, scientists, our own people).
We follow three principles help us nurture a culture of innovation:
- Encourage cross-disciplinary collaboration in a supportive environment
- Give our people the skills and resources to be innovators
- Drive our successes by supporting failure
In order to be successful in our innovation vision, mission and objective, the team has identified a number of supports that aide progress and help nurture an innovative culture:
- Silo disruption – use projects that are cross-functional to allow greater collaboration and so that personnel can practice working across departmental lines, gain new skills and provide fresh, unique solutions
- Space and Connection - encourage the active sharing of information, connecting via media and holding space for innovative ideas
- Curiosity - analytical curiosity to ask ‘why’, leads to innovative problem-solving solutions.
- Shared purpose - Innovation must be approached from a shared purpose & user-centric perspective. This innovative thinking must be imbedded within the staff & organisation at the grass roots level
- Environment - create a space where there is courage to fail, and fail better, knowing this process supported.
