4th June 2018 Posted by: Ethicore

Advocacy partnerships are essential, yet challenging.  This interactive session calls for policy makers as well as public affairs, programming, partnerships, policy and advocacy professionals to share their experiences of working behind the scenes to influence for structural and sectoral change.  We will explore the essential building blocks for advocacy partnerships to release the power of policy and political capital, changing mindsets and building trust.

Share your advocacy partnerships experiences @ethicore and join us at #BFPOxford

Structuring for Innovation: Setting up your organisation for more systematic innovation

5th December 2017 Posted by: Ethicore

Structures to support innovation vary depending on the strategic intent and ambition of an organisation. Setting up your organisation for more systematic innovation is a journey. As organisations evolve from centralised to decentralised structures for innovation, they may outsource some activities to support their transformation. More mature innovative organisations have distributed responsibilities for innovation. At an extreme, an organisation may spin off start-ups to enable their innovations to operate outside of organisational constraints.

It is important for organisations to be conscious of their innovation approach and the models that can be employed to be more strategic and systemic innovators over time. This infographic identifies the structures to develop systematic innovation. We recommend mapping out your journey to more systemic innovation and how it will evolve over time.
