Change and Innovation

“Impact Factory is certainly an organisation that delivers the goods…”

In embracing Change and Innovation, a new team from Roche were chosen to help support key change initiatives across the highly innovative global healthcare company.

Roche is a highly innovative, research-focused global healthcare company. It has a mission to improve the quality of life and well-being of people in the UK by delivering innovative pharmaceutical solutions.

They create and develop products that provide vital information on a range of conditions. They are also proud to be at the forefront of the fight against cancer, showing their commitment to innovation and change.

The Brief

Not only are they innovating services, products and brands, but the company itself changes and adapts to embrace both change and innovation principles. This is to meet the challenges of an ever-evolving global market place.

Roche’s Emma Lambert Innovation & Change Manager was tasked with bringing together a new team. This team would support key change initiatives across the company.

She contacted Impact Factory to see if we might help support her in this new initiative.

Our Tailored Solution

Change and Innovation Programme

We put their heads together and, liaising closely with Emma, designed a tailored Change and Innovation programme for the team.

The first day at Welwyn HQ saw the new Change and Innovation Team come together for the first time. Some members had flown in from Europe and The States to join the programme focused on innovation and change.

They had a substantial task ahead of them, but with their energy and enthusiasm, the team was ready for the challenge.

On day one we worked with the team to explore strategies to help them move forward. More importantly, we found ways to deliver on that strategy with passion, commitment and energy.

By the end of the day, the road ahead seemed much clearer. The team could see the route they might take.

Day Two- Innovation Day

Now the team had more of a cohesive plan. We looked at how Roche might expand their culture of innovation across the entire organisation.

The team learnt new tools and techniques to further tap the well of creativity within Roche. Their dedication to change and innovation was reflected in their methodical approach.

After a fast-moving and fun day full of interactive processes, each member of the team had explored their own unique approach to creativity.

They were now ready to venture out as a team and support the innovation and changes ahead.

Feedback and Testimonials

A few days later Emma emailed to say that the feedback had been wholly positive. Both the attendees and the wider organisation would benefit from the training centred on innovation and change.
