ideanation: Season 3 - AI + Automation
In today’s ever-evolving world where there are unprecedented windows of opportunity, there has never been a better time to be an innovator, creator or Ideanator! In 6 half-day Ideanation workshops, ideanators embraced an innovation mindset. They were dexterous, curious, and willing to think outside of the box - striving for excellence through agile thinking. In just 30 hours, 107 of our Ideanators, came up with 535 ideas! These ideas were new products, services, and business models all centred around different approaches to creating value and driving excellence.
"The value of an idea lies in the using of it."
ideanation: Season 2 - Innovation powered by Data
Innovation enables businesses to stay ahead of change and stand out – however, when our people can access the right data, at the right time and in the right ways, they feel empowered to innovate and propose creative solutions with more confidence. Therefore, building a ‘data culture’ across our business by generating real time insights and predictions becomes critical. With Data Analytics – or AGILytics – identified as one of our core Think Group programmes, we are partnering up with the programme to unlock data-focused insights for real business solutions. This is where you come in!
