Embedding or aligning innovations

This section focuses on:

Aligning innovation projects with institutional goals, drivers and needs
Aligning or embedding innovations with institutional strategies
Aligning or embedding innovations with institutional processes, systems and services
Focusing on impact and returns on investment.
Developing a sustainability and embedding plan.
Evaluating costs/benefits.

Key messages:

Innovations are far more likely to be adopted throughout an institution if they can support specific institutional or faculty/school goals, needs and drivers.
Innovation project teams should work with the “owners” of specific institutional strategies to embed their innovations within the strategies.
When considering stakeholder needs, the needs of stakeholders such as employers, sector bodies (e.g. sector skills councils) and professional/standards bodies should also be embraced.
Innovations can be embedded into processes, systems and services, such as QA/QE and curriculum design, review and approval processes, ICT systems to support curriculum design, review and approval and curriculum design/review support services.
Innovation projects should consider developing a sustainability and embedding plan – to align with the communications and stakeholder engagement plan.
Project teams will increasingly be required to evidence measureable impact and positive cost/benefits of their innovation projects.
JISC have developed an impact calculator for evaluating the efficiency of change initiatives.
