Solving infrastructure challenges
Published on by michelle arroyo, Innovation Interchange - Communications and Support
Limited resources and continuing pressures on quality of life are forcing organizations to do more with less.
Innovation, delivering new ideas that generate value, through improved science, technology and infrastructure will play a key role. Effective collaboration supports innovation. However, face to face sessions can limit the potential for engagement with a wide and diverse group of people.
Social media technology now enables people to efficiently and effectively come together, regardless of location and discipline and all 24/7. This powerful online relationship is often referred to as "crowd sourcing".
The Innovation Interchange is about connecting with a purpose, in a focused, secure and controlled environment. We offer a number of online platforms to help organizations connect and deliver ideas:
- RoundTable - Discuss topics with individuals of your choice
- PIVOT - Collaborate and prioritize ideas within your team
- theZone- Capture and deliver ideas within your organization
- Marketplace- Connect solutions to challenges in an exclusive infrastructure community
The Innovation Interchange is dedicated to helping organizations innovate and grow their business. It is being supported by a number of associations and organizations, including GHD, a global engineering firm.
