Organisations are subjected to constant change. To maintain competitiveness it is imperative to build an atmosphere in which employees are encouraged to think creatively and believe that they can bring their ideas to a successful conclusion. An effective employee innovation scheme encourages individual commitment to continuous improvement and creates a favourable environment for innovation to take place.
“Innovative Suggestion Schemes” are a useful way to obtain and use employees’
creative ideas for the betterment of organisations. Drawing on practical
experiences BPPM suggests that one way to encourage participation in
innovation schemes lies within giving employees access to project
planning knowledge, tools and techniques to enable them to evaluate,
articulate and implement innovative ideas. Human resources inputs are of
great importance in this area for formulating, promoting and
implementing strategies for the learning organisation.
Boyle Practical Project Management would welcome the opportunity to
partner with businesses to develop innovative schemes to determine
benefits accruing and assess project viability while at the same time
equipping those participating with the tools and techniques for
delivering successful projects.
