好利斯特公司入围“创新领袖2020影响力奖”

好利斯特公司被提名进入“创新领袖2020影响力奖”的决赛，因为好利斯特对COVID-19疫情快速反应，在危机时期向世界提供了迅速、持续的援助。该国际奖项旨在表彰那些在创新项目上取得非凡成果的公司和个人。好利斯特很荣幸地与美敦力、诺华和西门罗等其他创新公司同台竞技，单击此处查看进入决赛名单。

好利斯特公司社交创新门户Insights to innovation（i2i）的创新经理和平台管理员Paul Fletter说：“全球危机考验了我们创新生态系统的每一个节点，加速了计划外但十分重要的推进。合适的社区能推进好的想法，基于云的平台可以扩大我们的创新触达，增加参与者的多样性和他们产生的想法。”

i2i平台是从被隔离在世界各地的同事那里，收集大量想法的一个平台，在线门户促进了想法的提交、审查、排序和报告，排序最靠前的点子在挑战开始后不到三周就落实实施了。评审小组的反应足够迅速，几乎可以实时处理收到的想法。

为了在实施这些想法时获得最大的影响，好利斯特公司与当地社区、企业和学校合作，捐赠原材料、分配资金和共享主题专业知识，以帮助解决方案变为现实。这些解决方案包括帮助PPE相关皮肤损伤的方法；用两个嵌套的真空成型外壳，中间夹好利斯特无纺布作为过滤介质的N95口罩概念。

“创纪录的参与率表明，这个在线构思活动为大家的创造力提供了一个出口。这也让好利斯特的员工在这充满挑战的时刻仍然保持联系，共同帮助其他人抗击疫情，”研发部副总裁Paola Wisner说。“这次COVID挑战赛的协调和执行，是对好利斯特多年来着力打造的创新生态系统的一次测试，结果非常令人满意。”

“The global crisis accelerated an unexpected, yet important effort that tested every node of our innovation ecosystem,” said Paul Fletter, Innovation Manager and Platform Administrator of the Hollister social innovation portal called Insights to Innovation (i2i). “With the right community in place to carry good ideas forward, cloud-based platforms scale our innovation reach and increase the diversity of the participants and the ideas they generate.”

The i2i platform was the ideal environment for collecting a vast number of ideas from Associates who suddenly were quarantined around the world. The online portal facilitated the submission, review, ranking, and reporting of ideas. The top ideas were implemented less than three weeks after the kick-off of the challenge because the Review Team was responsive enough to process the incoming ideas in near real time.

To achieve maximum impact when implementing the ideas, Hollister partnered with local communities, small businesses, and schools that donated raw materials, distributed funding, and shared subject matter expertise to help the solutions come to life. The solutions included a way to help PPE-related skin injuries and a concept for a N95 mask that uses two nested vacuum-formed shells with layers of Hollister nonwoven trapped in between to act as a filtration medium.

“The record-breaking participation rate indicates that the online ideation campaign provided a much-needed outlet for human creativity. It also allowed Hollister Associates to stay connected during these challenging times and work together to help others battle the pandemic,” said Paola Wisner, Vice President, Research & Development. “The successful coordination and execution of this COVID Challenge is a testament to the innovation ecosystem we have nurtured for years at Hollister, and the excellent results speak for themselves.”
