Forum for the Future has launched a set of tools to drive innovation in infrastructure and long term sustainable investment. The toolkit is the result of a year-long project to understand what inhibits innovation in infrastructure projects in order to support sustainable city operation. It has been developed and produced in collaboration with six key organisations that have a significant role in delivering the UK’s infrastructure. The toolkit is made up of four elements:

SpacedIn: A guide on getting the most out of your workspace. Can be used to demonstrate to facilities departments, budget holders and senior executives that improving the design of the working environment can enable innovation.

How to engage remote staff: A guide offering practical tips for engaging the large number of remote workers in the infrastructure sector.

Innovation tools: A set of easy-to-use tools based around key elements of the innovation process, from initiating a project to the dissemination of learning outcomes, to promote creative thinking in any organisation.

The little book of innovation: An outline of the key findings of the toolkit project and why these outputs are useful for any organisation in the infrastructure sector and beyond.
