 Challenge 

 I am responsible for my department ’s innovation and patent development program , as well as   being the main consultant for the admin area .   My responsibility in to ensure that my   department with 275 employees meets the corporate targets for employee participation and   idea implementation .   Likewise , I have to ensure that the subject matter experts from sister   departments under the same admin area follow the same innovation requirements .   At a   department level , the biggest challenge is to follow up with idea owners on the implementation   of their approved ideas .   On the other hand , at the admin area level with 6800 + employees , the   challenge is to ensure that other innovation subject matter experts ( SMEs ) align with my   innovation program and follow best practices .   There is a total of 10 operating departments   within our admin area .    In theory , corporate key performance measures are to be achieved by   end of year but do to our outstanding performance over the past 3 years , our management is   requesting these same targets to be achieved by mid - year .   In order to achieve these goals , we   have launched an awareness plan which will promote and cultivate the innovation culture from   our employees .   This will ensure that employee idea submission goals are attained way ahead   of schedule in order to focus all efforts in idea implementation for the remaining of the   calendar year . 

 Selection 

 The department goals are personally managed by me but the admin area goals require closer   follow up and execution by admin area innovation subject matter experts .   I have put together   an awareness session calendar where in collaboration with each of the operating department   SMEs , we will host awareness / brainstorming sessions to promote innovation and idea   generation .   We began in the month of February and we will continue to conduct two sessions   per operating department within a calendar year . 

 Application 

 As part of the first awareness / brainstorming session , we focus on the innovation process .   We   cover the subjects of idea generation , advocacy and screening , experimentation ,   implementation and commercialization .   We have a corporate innovation portal for open idea   submission .   Our employees struggle with structuring their conceptual ideas and often do n’t   follow through and end up abandoning an idea that can potentially generate huge benefits to   the organization .   Our first session focuses on the innovation process as a structured strategy   that ensures that the innovation owner / team idealizes an innovation and runs with it until it is   successfully implemented . 

 The second session focuses on patent development and commercialization for internal or   external deployment .   In our admin area , we built a partnership with the corporate technology 

 School Age Care : Company General Use 

 oversight department to further enhance the patent contributions within the corporate patent   development program .   We focus on protecting the corporate ’s intellectual property by earning   exclusive rights to inventions as well as by recognizing employees with patents that have been   successfully filed , granted and commercialized .   Our awareness sessions focus on the patent   filing / granting process as well as patentability and commercialization requirements . 

 Insight 

 What we have learned as part of these awareness / brainstorming sessions is that employees   often underestimate their potential to think without reservations .   It was analyzed that   employees often set their own barriers when it comes to idea generation .   Their self - confidence   often gets in their way to expand their thinking .   With our steps of innovation process , we are   aiding our employees with a structured strategy that can add potential to their free - thinking   ability and can generate ideas much easier and with a higher self - confidence approach .   Our   awareness program has been in place for 3 months now and we have seen significant   improvement in employee idea submission ( 25 % increase ) , and patent development ( 30 %   increase ) .   This will provide us with a strong platform as we will focus next on idea   implementation and commercialization . 

 Approach 

 Based on the results so far obtained from these sessions , the operating department innovation   SME team agrees that our plan has made a significant positive impact to our innovation and   patent development programs .   We will continue with our first round of sessions and will think   of ways to improve it for the upcoming calendar year .   In the meantime , we will continue to   work to promote idea implementation and commercialization as we will commit to work with   our sister operating departments in the upcoming months to build the momentum required for   ideas to be successfully implemented and potentially commercialized .
