Open innovation platform
Innovation Lab network
Core Capabilities Innovation Ecosystem
Confidential. Commonwealth Bank of Australia.
What can we do with our new capabilities?
In order to capture the new innovative ideas and improvements our people are developing, we have built an open innovation platform with Spigit.
What is our open innovation platform?
Our open innovation platform is called ‘Unleashing Innovation’ and its aim is to transform all of our people into ‘Everyday Innovators and Improvers’.
Innovation Channels
‘Always On’ channels that are owned by business units across the Bank, that allow
them to collect, manage, review, prioritise and implement ideas and improvements from
employees across the Bank.
How our people canget involved
Confidential. Commonwealth Bank of Australia.
Innovation Challenges
Time-bound campaigns that are focused on collecting ideas to solve
specific questions, problems or opportunities across the Bank.
How did we land on this model?
Initially, we centrally managed the whole platform, but we scaled our efforts by treating the platform as a business and decentralising ‘Always On’.
Confidential. Commonwealth Bank of Australia.
Setup half yearly Innovation Challenges and opened up an ‘Always On’ Channel for “big
ideas”
Pilot Pivot Growth
Ran quarterly, sponsored Innovation Challenges, aligned to real internal problems and
opportunities
Scale
Decentralised and operationalised ‘Always On’
Innovation Channels, directly with BU’s
Ran sponsored Innovation Challenges, at anytime,
dependent on sponsorship and need
What has this model helped us achieve in the last year?
In the last 12 months, we have effectively operationalised this model across our organisation and are continually launching it into new areas.
15,000 Active users & 35,000 Registered

What is an Innovation Challenge?
An Innovation Challenge is a time-bound microsite on the platform that enables business sponsors to crowd-source ideas to solve specific problems.
Confidential. Commonwealth Bank of Australia.
What have we learnt along the way?
Innovation Challenges should focus on helping business sponsors solve problems that matter and be linked to a pathway to commercialisation.
Secure a senior sponsor for every
challenge
Focus on solving a specific problem or opportunity that
matters
Launch challenges with a big bang – aim to engage everyone
Have a pathway to commercialisation for
winning ideas
Confidential. Commonwealth Bank of Australia.
How does this work in practice?
We recently ran a challenge with our digital share trading business, CommSec, focused on generating ideas to make investing simple & easy.
Confidential. Commonwealth Bank of Australia.
Winners8 ideas were selected by
the CommSec leadership team to
progress
ImplementationAll 8 ideas were pitched, with 2 receiving funding
to be executed
ExplorationAll ideas were assigned an Innovation Coach to flesh
out the concept and understand D+F+V
What happened after the challenge?
The winning ideas from the challenge, as decided by an expert panel, had the opportunity to be explored and prototyped, prior to a final pitch for funding.
PrototypingEach idea was then
brought to life through a storyboard, wireframe or
clickable app

What is an Innovation Channel?
An Innovation Channel is a microsite on the platform that enables BU’s to collect, track and manage ideas and improvements for their business.
Confidential. Commonwealth Bank of Australia.
How do Innovation Channels work?
At any time, people from across the Bank can submit ideas or improvements to one of our BU's channels, which they then process and execute upon.
Confidential. Commonwealth Bank of Australia.
Automated
People work directly with their team leaders or experts in a BU to directly
deliver ideas and improvements
Self - Guided
People are empowered to raise, work through and track the
completion of their ideas and improvements by themselves
The Innovation Channel Processes
Centralised
People’s ideas and improvements are reviewed by a central team or
panel within a BU, prior to execution
What have we learnt along the way?
Innovation Channels, and the ideas and improvements within them, should be owned directly by internal BU’s and supported by the Innovation Team.
Setup your ‘Always On’ capability as an internal
product/service offering for your BU’s
Co-create channels and the idea management processes that underpin them, hand in
hand with your BU’s
Make your BU’s responsible for ideas and improvements
for their operations
Strategically guide, steer and help them get the most out of
their channel
Confidential. Commonwealth Bank of Australia.
How does this work in practice?
Last year we launched our first channel with our business banking division, focused on centralising the management of ideas across their teams.
Confidential. Commonwealth Bank of Australia.
ExplorationWe found 9 differing
approaches and processes to manage ideas and
improvements
LaunchWe kick-started the
channel by integrating it into their biggest annual
conference
CollaborationWe worked with their teams to build out a
shared idea management process
How did we build and launch it?
Together with the business, we explored existing approaches to managing ideas within their teams and then co-created a process to meet all their needs.
ImplementationWe then built, tested and refined the channel on the
platform with real users
Confidential. Commonwealth Bank of Australia.
What can you learn from our experience?
To truly ‘Unleash Innovation’ in your organisation, use the platform and its capabilities to empower your internal businesses to innovate.
