Introduce new ideas and solutions to address productivity, efficiency, sustainability and growth in your organisation through the IRP.
In the late 1980’s a “grass roots” program swept across Australia called Quality Circles. It was incredibly successful and started the whole TQM movement. A new program has now been developed around innovation, which closely mirrors Quality Circles – it is called the Innovator Recognition Program and is all about “building extraordinary enterprises with ordinary people.” It seems to be the right program in the right place at the right time!
The Innovator Recognition Program is an exciting initiative which provides the mechanism to both recognise and to develop your employees' innovation skills as a way of optimising your organisation's innovation system.
The IRP Program is nationally recognised and delivered locally by approved “Innovation Ready RTO’s”. This is a pilot program for 2012.
The IRP Program is straightforward to implement. It recognises innovators at different levels and provides a clear pathway through work-based evidence and training programs.
The IRP is a collaborative initiative between Innovation & Business Skills Australia and the Hargraves Institute and is Nationally Accredited. This program can be overlaid at any level or across any function within an organisation – commercial, government or not-for-profit.
The Hargraves Institute is Australia’s leading Innovation authority. It is a member-based organisation and uses collective wisdom to promote shared knowledge amongst its members.
Polson HR & Training Brokers have been appointed an approved IRP Agent for the Hargraves Institute.
