Dyesol : Inventium – Insights to Pioneering Technology

With this objective of continual improvement on our minds, members of Dyesol's senior management team have teamed up with Inventium, Australia's leading science-based innovation consultancy as part of a Leading Innovation Program. Dyesol's technologically elite character, and our cutting edge business development in new industries make us well matched with Inventium's scientifically proven innovation driver approach.

Within this framework, Dyesol's senior innovation leaders are stretching their innovation mindset and exploring the detailed dataset behind what makes successful innovators keep succeeding at innovation. This focus on transitioning new ideas and changes into valuable business outcomes (a definition of innovation itself) is driven within Dyesol from the very top, as it should be - this isn't something that can be delegated.

The nitty-gritty of yet further improving Dyesol's already impressive innovation record involves pursuing excellence in:

• Structural elements such as innovation processes, resource prioritisation for innovation, and quantification of innovation outputs;
• Leadership for innovation such as organisational culture, strategic incorporation of innovation into the entire Company, and keeping innovation top of mind through ongoing discussion; and
• Staff optimisation to engender best innovation outcomes, including matching people's capabilities, motivating through clear role identification, and positioning of Dyesol as a visible leader in innovation in our field.

We can certainly say we're enjoying the process, and learning a lot along the way as well.
