Continuing to foster the strongest Digital Innovation community in the UK.
The Innovation Council wants to make innovation achievable and accessible to all. We believe innovation is everyone’s job and meant for everyday situations — not just a designated team locked away in a lab.
The Innovation Council cares about problems and opportunities that have been tackled in new ways. This can be achieved through new technology, creative, data, and ways of working.
We work to find and forge a diverse and dynamic UK-wide community of innovators of all levels and disciplines, and prove a collaborative forum for sharing best practice, skills and lessons learned.
Please contact BIMA if you have an innovation story to share, or are interested in joining the Innovation Council.
The Innovation Council is chaired by Josh Wikins. Josh is focused on driving digital innovation globally, from running all employee ideas campaigns, to funding and oversight of innovative pilots to test and prove the business value from new and emerging technology. He enjoys learning from others across an ecosystem of peers, startups, students and consultants, regularly attending industry events, sitting at roundtables, as a guest speaker and has been a BIMA mentor since 2023.
From the initial spark of an idea to the crucial decision of scaling, the BIMA Innovation Council has compiled the best practices and strategies to help you navigate every stage of the innovation process.
