Sparking Creativity and Innovation

The Challenge

How might we expose a wider group of people to new ideas and new ways of working in a consistent and mindful manner?

Exposure to new ideas, mindsets, and approaches is the first step to sparking innovation. A series of briefings from across multiple sectors and environments offers opportunities to explore new ideas and approaches, to doing things differently.

The Solution

Innovation Day — Sparking Creativity and Innovation

Speakers range from UN, academia, and private/public sectors. Episodes are recorded and accessible by all employees. A recap is published and sent out by email. Recap, outcome and other key data are also saved online for easy filtering and searching.

Impact & Results

Since 2019, the ideas and stories shared through iD have helped employees introduce new methodologies, find ways to apply innovation in mandate delivery, connect with others outside their network, and scale ideas across the global Secretariat.
