Leading Water Utility Innovation

Abstract

This project will develop an innovation leader’s guide to help utilities implement successful innovation programs. The objectives of the project are to (1) equip utilities to assess and encourage broad engagement in innovation, (2) provide guidance for building powerful innovation partnerships for early wins, (3) develop a simple tool for building an innovation strategy, and (4) develop detailed case studies that demonstrate the innovation strategy.

Originally funded as WERF project WRF1729.
