How the EEIP will Support Innovation
17. For the purposes of the EEIP, innovation is broadly defined as activities that are a significant change and development for an organisation on the previous way of doing things. This can encompass:
- Development of new markets.
- New business models and structures.
- Expansion into new modes of delivery.
- Development of new educational programmes and products.
- Qualitative increases in scale of operation (e.g. moving from pilot phase into full implementation).
