INNOVATION PROCESS STRUCTURE
  • An Idea is generated
  • Co-sponsors are enlisted
  • Local management funds proposal for development
  • Innovation Committee approval


  • EIP is launched








  • Individual ‘frames” idea so it can be communicated
  • This is the first filter.  Individual must enlist at least 2 people to launch an EIP (Private or PPP)
  • This insures management involvement.  Small amounts for supplies, preliminary studies, books, materials, etc.
  • Committee approves/terminates.  If approved, the project enters the formal system and is tracked until conclusion
  • Initial project manager is appointed by the IC and the project moves to the formal process.
