SuperNova Award Winner: Director IT, Social and Collaborative Innovation, UnitedHealth Group
When a company with 137,000 employees and more than $100 billion in annual revenue wants to foster a culture of innovation and begin generating its own innovative solutions organically, how does it engage all of its employees across the U.S. and abroad? Greg Hicks launched a social and collaborative innovation initiative powered by an ideation platform (Spigit Engage) to drive innovation at UnitedHealth Group.
In 2013, UnitedHealth Group launched the 3rd annual Hemsley Challenge. More than 8,500 employees cast 386,000 votes, helping to narrow 680 employee-generated ideas down to the “Hemsley 16,” a group of innovative concepts slatted to be featured at UnitedHealth Group’s annual Innovation Day. In total, more than 19,000 employees engaged in the Hemsley Challenge by ideating, commenting, voting, and collaborating.
By 2013, three employee-generated concepts identified by the 2012 Hemsley challenge were developed into projects. In total, those three concepts had the potential to reduce annual operating costs by $30 million, and radically improve the health care experience for millions of consumers and thousands of health care providers.
Greg Hicks won the 2013 SuperNova Award for Future of Work
