Defining Collaborative Innovation

Corporates are evolving their traditional R&D models to embrace a more open culture. The phrase Collaborative Innovation focuses on a new approach for companies to develop their products, services or business solutions. Multiple internal and external stakeholders are involved in the collaborative process, with in house teams, customers and suppliers working together and openly sharing each stage of development. The ultimate goal is to create a powerful network comprised of small, specialist players able to collaborate at both scale and speed.

Innovation Lab

Designing a dedicated space to facilitate sharing and open working is the first step towards collaborative innovation. The Innovation Lab provides a contained working area for employees and visitors to collaborate – from working through lean and agile processes, to product development or hackathons. These spaces promote the ideation and creative processes, busy hubs of activity where cross-functional teams can focus on proposals and projects submitted from across the business. Innovation Labs tend to be customer-centric, data-driven and tech-enabled to accelerate the various processes and improve productivity.

Technology to inspire innovation

Adopting a more sociable and outward-facing style and approach demands more than a redesign of the physical space. Companies need to provide a mix of specific areas for innovation activities, with a range of communication, visualisation and prototyping tools. Reconfiguring existing space is a critical building block. Adopting the right tools and technological solutions will make the entire process smoother and pave the way for a new working culture. The Nureva™ Span™ Workspace solution provides the adaptable digital tools to inspire innovation processes and adds a whole new dimension to the dedicated office space.

Visualise, create, innovate

In Innovation Labs, teams are immersed in visual data. Canvases, sticky notes and whiteboards are a traditional tried and tested method of collaboration and idea sharing. The Nureva Span Workspace solution takes these familiar paper-based processes into the digital realm. Transforming walls of Innovation Labs into expansive, digital workspaces to accelerate the flow of new ideas. With the cloud-based canvas, teams can work either directly on the wall or from their chosen digital device, from any location in the world.
