This stage filters out less viable ideas and allows the team to focus on high-value projects.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- How: <\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">   1. Establish criteria for prioritization on a dedicated Card in each Space, which can be referenced by the team.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">   2. Create a custom workflow within Spaces to move ideas through stages such as \"Submitted,\" \"Under Review,\" \"Prioritized,\" and \"Deferred.\"<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">   3. Use Card statuses to track the progression of ideas within the workflow.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\"> Step 3: Development Planning<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- Purpose: To outline and execute the development plan for the top-prioritized ideas, turning them into actionable projects.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- Why: This is the phase where ideas are transformed into tangible projects. Effective management is necessary to keep the projects on track and aligned with the organization\u2019s goals.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- How: <\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">   1. For each approved idea, create a new dedicated Workspace titled \"Innovation Projects.\"<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">   2. Within this Workspace, start new Spaces for individual projects, detailing project goals, milestones, deliverables, timelines, and required resources.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">   3. Assign Cards to specific tasks within each project Space with clear instructions, deadlines, and responsible persons.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">   4. Implement Card relations to express dependencies between tasks.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">    <\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\"> Step 4: Collaboration & Oversight<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- Purpose: To ensure continuous communication, collaboration, and oversight during the innovation development process.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- Why: Effective collaboration among cross-functional teams and stakeholders is critical for innovation success. It ensures that diverse expertise is incorporated and potential issues are addressed promptly.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- How: <\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">   1. Schedule regular review meetings using Spaces dedicated to project synchronization.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">   2. Assign Co-Workers and encourage the use of the @Mention feature to tag team members for input or feedback.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">   3. Utilize the Activity Stream to monitor the progress of projects and stay updated on recent changes.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">   4. Set up the Forecast Chart and Time Chart features in KanBo for real-time tracking of project progress and resource allocation.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\"> Step 5: Launch Preparation<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- Purpose: To finalize the innovation and prepare for its market introduction or implementation within the organization.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- Why: This phase is essential in ensuring that the innovation is ready to be deployed effectively and meets all regulatory and quality standards.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- How: <\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">   1. Finalize innovation projects with a comprehensive review of all Cards to ensure completeness and readiness.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">   2. Use Document Templates on KanBo to standardize launch protocols and checklists.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">   3. Create a Timeline view in the Space to visualize the final tasks leading up to the launch.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\"> Step 6: Post-Launch Review and Knowledge Management<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- Purpose: To review the overall innovation process and outcomes, and to capture knowledge for future innovation cycles.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- Why: Learning from each innovation project is central to improving future innovation practices and capitalizing on gained insights.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">- How: <\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">   1. Set up a Post-Launch Review Space within the corresponding project Workspace.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">   2. Use Cards to document successes, challenges, lessons learned, and areas for improvement.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">   3. Store all project-related documents, discussion threads, and feedback in KanBo to establish a knowledge base.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">By leveraging KanBo in this structured way, the Clinical Study Unit Operations Cluster Head can oversee innovation processes more effectively, driving continuous growth and ensuring that the planning, prioritization, execution, and launch of new initiatives are executed cohesively and successfully.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading naglowek-duzy\" id=\"section4\" style=\"margin-bottom:40px;font-size:clamp(16.293px, 1.018rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.68), 25px);font-style:normal;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:-0.02em;line-height:1.2\">Glossary and terms<\/h3><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Certainly!
