Innovation Workshops Go Virtual

There’s no pause button for progress. Pandemic or no, your organization has to keep pressing forward – defining new offerings, rethinking strategies, and fending off emerging competitive threats.

To help you build and sustain your momentum – despite the restrictions imposed by our remote-work world – we’re happy to announce our all-new virtual Innovation Workshops.

Traditionally held in person, an Innovation Workshop is an event facilitated by Unisys that’s meant to surface ideas, goals, and challenges, and then turn this input into actionable strategies that create value for our clients. During this meeting of the minds, you’ll brainstorm initiatives large and small in equal measure – spanning business, process, and technology areas – and evaluate each concept on its feasibility, cost, timeframe, and expected ROI.

Though it’s transitioning to a virtual setting, the intent of the workshop remains unchanged.

To that end, this collaborative session will progress according to the following process flow:

  • You’ll start by identifying pain points and opportunities, then capture ideas that can address these needs
  • Then, you’ll categorize these ideas into key functional areas, with participants providing “elevator pitches” for each concept
  • After that, you’ll prioritize concepts based on factors like organizational impact, ease of implementation, and technical maturity
  • You’ll then build opportunity profiles aimed at helping you better understand each idea’s potential ROI and implementation timeframes
  • Finally, you’ll create a roadmap that details how you’ll turn these ideas from concept into a tangible reality

Of course, you’re free to customize this flow to fit your organization’s particular needs, timelines, and business and IT demands.

At the end of the session, you’ll receive a written report detailing the full list of brainstormed ideas, as well as a graphical display of the voting results. In addition, you’ll be sent a post-workshop executive brief that reviews Unisys observations and recommendations, and identifies opportunities for further investigation or investment.
