Innovation Management and Behavioural Change

 

 

Researcher at work.

The overall aims of WP4 are to promote behavioural change within this new digital environment. We will do this by identifying how leaders can use digital information to make better, quicker decisions and how project team members can use data visualisation techniques and data mining to enhance knowledge sharing within teams and manage knowledge transfer between large, distributed teams within companies.

WP4 will provide methodologies to enhance the adoption of these technologies within Unilever and facilitate the radical change in organisation and process of innovation within the company which is required for this new digital workflow.
