  • Abstract:
    The pace of change in our modern world is faster than at any time in human history. Evolutions in technology and society are forcing organizations from every sector to innovate and find new ways to respond and adapt. Innovation isn’t new to MnDOT— from being the first DOT to test autonomous vehicles in cold weather to providing real-time road condition information via snowplow cameras, innovation is already a part of how MnDOT achieves its mission. Every day MnDOT employees use innovative and collaborative mindsets to find solutions that serve the public and help the agency achieve its vision of a transportation system that maximizes the health of people, the environment, and our economy. The current pace of change shows no signs of slowing. Many organizations— even those with established innovation programs— must increase their investments to build a strong and healthy culture of innovation. Now is the time for MnDOT to double down and leverage its existing investments to cultivate a vibrant and high-functioning innovation ecosystem that continues MnDOT’s standing as a place where innovative people solve significant challenges. At its essence, innovation is about solving problems. It is the process of using critical and creative thinking to implement ideas that create valued outcomes. Like many organizations, MnDOT recognizes that a thoughtfully designed innovation strategy is needed to solve transportation challenges effectively and efficiently. Successful innovation strategy considers both the innovation tools available to employees, as well as the organizational behaviors and attitudes necessary to foster and cultivate innovation long-term. It requires embedding innovation into the core culture and providing resources that empower staff to imagine, create, and experiment.
