LEF Future Center
The development of an Innovation process for a new future center
What – In order to become more innovative the Dutch highway agency (Rijkswaterstaat) chose to open a future center. Our assignment was to assist in the development of the overall concept of the future center as well as the internal innovation process. This would secure the successful execution of internal development projects.
370-degrees was part of this process throughout the entire one year development phase of the Future Center.
Process – The design of the Future Center was created through a series of creative workshops. These workshops involved relevant stakeholders from within the organization as well as external experts within the fields of innovation and change management. Our role in the process was as facilitators. We created and facilitated the framework of the process. At times this meant summing up in between development phases and re-framing ideas so they would be clearer. This allowed the project group to focus on what was most important. During the development process one of the important tools used was storytelling. One of the results of this was a magazine developed by the project team behind LEF future center describing the entire concept. You can browse through the magazine here.
