Case Study 3d - Celebrating innovation

Carol has been reviewing Little Catalysts ELC approach to acknowledgement, celebration and appreciation for innovation in the workplace. Carol raised the point in your last mentoring session, that 'what you give attention to grows!' With the focus now on becoming a service known as an innovative leader in the sector, Carol wants to ensure that the service has a habit of celebrating innovation. She believes this is an essential component for developing an innovative culture in the service. Having a standardised approach about this will be an innovation in itself. She wants your input into how this could be implemented.

Create recommendations for celebrating and promoting innovation in the service, ones that could be implemented regularly. Your suggestions need to be inclusive of all members of the service, practical and collaborative. Suggestions could be as simple as a code of conduct that promotes a culture of innovation, a process of communicating which keeps everyone informed about wins, a way of sharing the stories of success and experiences on the journey of innovation or more formal and structured.
