In this section, you will find food for thought on managing innovation.
In DCA we apply an ecosystems approach to what elements need to be in balance at an organisational level for innovation to thrive and survive. This is part of DCA's approach to managing innovation at a global level and country office level.
There are several frameworks suitable for managing innovation. In the below video you will be introduced to an ecosystems thinking approach to managing innovation from an organisational perspective.
This is to be able to do and manage innovation in a strategic manner where we utilise our resources best possible.
THE FOUNDATION FOR INNOVATION
DCA’s commitment to innovation is based on the understanding that the most effective ways of bringing about the changes we want to see in the world might not be known to us yet.
For innovation to take place on purpose, we need to foster an ecosystem of innovation enablers. The video below introduces the innovation ecosystem.
We all have a role to play in the ecosystem, whether we are managers, staff, or partners. Watch the video and think about how you contribute to the innovation ecosystem!
