Description
Over the last 27 years, we at Lantegi Batuak have been finding original solutions to ensure our mission, that is, to generate opportunities for stable, quality employment which serve as a foundation for attaining social inclusion and employment for the people with disabilities for whom we work.
Innovation is therefore a word that always fits our reality and our Strategic Plan 2009-2011 cites innovation as our “key and transversal competence”, further highlighting the need to make it systematic across the Organisation, to make it a “daily habit” that allows us to continue to ensure the future of our mission.
To generate such a routine, in March 2010, we launched the development of a practical Systematic Innovation Model, based on eight pillars:
• Our own, shared vision of why and how we innovate in Lantegi Batuak, and where to start.
• Strong leadership and sponsorship of the Directorate General which is embodied in the creation of the Innovation and Development and the creation of a Pilot Innovation Community.
• A Skills Development Programme for Innovation, which seeks to provide the people of the Organisation with the key skills to innovate in their daily lives.
• An Internal Innovation System, embodied in a space called “Berribarruan” which includes the routine to follow when it comes to innovation (searching for opportunities, generating ideas, evaluating and selecting, developing and launching).
• An Open Innovation System, embodied in a space called “Berrireki” which pursues the co-creation and development of new ideas with different local agents to generate new employment opportunities for people with disabilities.
• The Knowledge and Management Communities: a basic tool for the ongoing and transversal collaboration, so necessary for innovation.
• The Recognition Programme: a tool to highlight and acknowledge the commitment and contributions of our personnel to the settlement of the Systematic Innovation Model.
• The System of Innovation Indicators which measures the results achieved with the Model.
