Dear Ambassador Zara Jane,   We’re thrilled to launch two new UN Groups under the UNIN Umbrella: on Culture of Innovation and Innovation Scaling.  Innovation Scaling  There are many innovative programmes currently being developed in the UN. However, many struggle to move from pilots to successfully scaled-up initiatives that create lasting impact. UNIN’s new Innovation Scaling group, hosted in collaboration with UN Global Pulse, will seek to: Develop and share knowledge and expertise on innovation scaling; Accelerate the adoption of good practices in scaling innovation;  Facilitate an honest exchange of technical challenges; Bring views from outside the UN into the realm of the community; and Encourage active participation, spur collaboration and nurture two-way learning. We’ll kick off with a webinar in July to discuss what works and what does not in the realm of innovation scaling. Join the UN Innovation Scaling Group Culture of Innovation Everybody strives to create a culture of innovation. But what does it actually look like and how could you help to create it in your team or organisation? Who has successfully created such a culture? And how can we create spaces to practice such a culture together? Since announcing the new workstream, we’ve held a coffee chats, exchanged approaches, piloted a “remote office” (a digital coworking space), and learnt and practiced hosting more engaging meetings. What’s coming up and how you can get involved?  We’re starting a new season of coffee chats in a connect-learn-share format where we get inspirations for promoting a culture of innovation (e.g. a tool, skill, example or a failure!) and discuss how this relates to our work. We’ll soon also be launching “Changemakers Chronicles” - short (voice notes) stories from colleagues.  We’ll relaunch the Changemakers Book Club during the summer months to read inspiring articles together and discuss them Join the UN Culture of Innovation Group Finally, together with UN - DPPA and the Data Strategy Team, we recently created a new practice group focusing on Generative AI. This Group aims to foster an understanding of Generative AI, create a comprehensive landscape of applications across the UN, and develop a knowledge repository. Reach out to join us! We look forward to engaging with you on these topics going forward! All the best, Emma, Johanna & Ruth PS: Do you know any talented young community builders and innovators? We’re looking for a paid intern to join team UNIN this summer!
