Center for Applied Innovation
The Center for Applied Innovation is empowering industry leaders to advance the Quadruple Aim and drive growth through outcomes-focused innovation.
Applying innovation as a growth concept
Curating innovation is a key challenge for any business in a competitive market. Many organizations also struggle to utilize their best resources for innovation.
Co-create growth and innovation at scale
Enhancing innovation capabilities allows organizations to facilitate the development of the core components required to scale and sustain growth opportunities. However, without an iterative process, it's easy to fall into the trap of applying select best practices that could lead to misaligned and unfocused efforts.
The power of diversity, unless harnessed and aligned, is muted and counterproductive to outcomes.
The Optum Center for Applied Innovation’s national presence and allocated innovation partners guide the strategic application of a proprietary design methodology to enhance partner innovation capabilities and unlock growth. A partnership growth vision is iteratively honed by applying new insights to the market and the future.
These iterations guide the co-creation, design and application of targeted initiatives. With a $5.2 billion annual investment in health care technology and innovation, we know how to deliver new ideas.
