HELPFUL TIPS BEFORE ENTERING

“Innovation” can cover a very broad range of meaning.  You may have a new product, ancillary operation, special section, selling strategy, or training program, all of which may be innovative.  We are seeking ideas that are new to your organization, as well as ideas that other schools haven’t implemented.  Please refrain from submitting ideas that you know other schools already use.  However, if you have taken an idea already being used and changed its execution to make it more successful, then you can submit the execution strategy as your innovation.

The outcomes and results of each innovation will be different as well.  Make sure you include how results are measured and what they were.  Also, include what you set as your goal when you set out to implement this innovation.  Did you or did you not reach that goal?  In sum, make sure you explain your innovation, the goals, the execution and the results.
