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.

A sought-after innovation speaker, Herbert’s core message is that real digital transformation is about learning to become more adaptive to change itself. Success comes from the ability to react to the small and early signs of change, leveraging data, technology and new ways of working along the way.
