Lessons Learned from an
Outstanding Corporate
Innovator
a PDMA Minnesota event
hosted by UnitedHealth Group
For 24 years the PDMA has bestowed the Outstanding Corporate Innovator (OCI) Award upon some of the world’s most innovative companies.
The prestigious OCI Award is the only award given to companies that achieve sustained business results from the innovation of new products and services. Past winners include BMW, Xerox, FedEx and Apple, to name a few.
At PDMA’s 35th Annual Product Innovation Management conference in October, our own UnitedHealth Group was awarded the 2011 OCI!
UnitedHealth Group demonstrates an exceptionally strong organizational and cultural commitment to innovation. Guided by a well-articulated innovation strategy, the company uses a number of methods to systematically develop practical solutions to identified global health challenges.
With a company-wide Innovation Council, Innovation Champions, emerging business incubators, open innovation, innovation labs and collaborations with other organizations to facilitate the development of game-changing new products and services, there’s plenty to learn from this team!
