NavigationIn 2016, DTE and Vectorform co-created an Innovation program that helps the organization do different and brings speed to value. When COVID-19 hit, this team was needed to keep its workforce safe, organized, and equipped.
DTE’s Pandemic Response Team required a way to execute traditionally in-person processes such as health screening for their workforce, securing critical hardware, and accessing equipment. The Innovation team urgently mobilized to implement a variety of digital solutions. Using a suite of simple, yet effective tools, in less than five days, the team was able to rapidly deliver solutions meeting the urgent demand required to safeguard employees and customers.
The Value Infusion Methodology™, created by Vectorform, brings clarity to the business value of Innovation. It is a pressure-tested process that has been implemented at Fortune 500 companies and is a system to help partners define and quantify the impact of innovation activities to their business. It is guided by standard calculations provided by the respective organization’s Business Partners and Finance department and involves iterative calculations as more information is gathered throughout the innovation process, culminating in a final, business and finance-approved calculation.
DTE’s ability to respond so rapidly to the shifting dynamic caused by the 2020 Pandemic is a by-product of their long-term commitment and investment in an enterprise innovation program. Maintaining an awareness on organizational goals, priorities, and impact within Vectorform’s managed innovation program provides unprecedented tools, tactics, and talent to tackle well-planned, long-range strategic activities and the ability to successfully pivot in unexpected situations.
