Innovating in a recession - how it's changing and what to do about it
H-I Network, in conjunction with NESTA (National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts), is researching the effect of the recession on innovation in large organisations; be that innovation in products, services business processes, markets, or business models. Some would argue that innovation should continue as:
- New products and services can enable organisations to offer lower prices and/or enter new markets
- New business processes should enable organisations to compete more effectively and efficiently
- Entering new markets would allow organisations enter emerging areas such as green technology, healthcare and media
- New business models could change the fundamental business to open up new markets for new or existing products
In our research project we will:
- Survey individuals working in large organisations. If you would like to participate in the survey, please click on Complete Survey>
- Conduct in-depth interviews with one or more individuals from large organisations. If you would like to contribute via an interview please contact us.
- Hold a seminar on 15 July to discuss the results of our research and hear from organisations that have chosen to reduce innovation, those that are holding a steady course and those that see the recession as an opportunity and/or a ‘burning platform’ to justify increased levels of innovation. We will hear where cuts have been made, where investments have been increased and the thinking that drove these decisions.
- Use the seminar to inform NESTA’s policies and lobbying to create an environment in the UK that encourages and supports innovation in large organisations.
- Compile the results of the research and outcomes of discussions at the seminar into our next Research Report.

Strategic Sourcing - Research completed pending publication.
In particular and given current economic conditions, we investigated fast track approaches to make strategic sourcing work across the supply chain for mutual survival and long-term benefits. The research report will be published shortly.
