Geneva Innovation Movement
The Geneva Innovation Movement (GIM) Association is a knowledge sharing platform that enables organizational innovation as a force for good.
It is a registered non-profit association based in Geneva, whose members are individual change makers from across all sectors globally.
The GIM’s vision is to create and share knowledge about innovation as a force for good in large organizations, to up-skill senior leaders, and to collaborate between sectors to provide new perspectives on organizational transformation. With an abundance of knowledge, both from research and its membership base, GIM enables organizational learning for breaking down internal silos and then scaling this collaboration to the ecosystem.
It does so through three pillars of service: (1) Network Building – facilitating across silos and connecting people, (2) Up-skilling – developing new perspectives and new skills for managers, and (3) Knowledge Translating – translating fundamental research into tangible insights.
History of the GIM
The Geneva Innovation Movement Association was created out of a need for a cross-sector platform that connects academic research, International Organizations, NGOs, and the private sector around the topic of managing organizational innovation as a force for good.
In 2020, a grassroots efforts led by several Professors, UN Directors and thought leaders formalized as a registered non-profit association called the Geneva Innovation Movement. The vision is that all organizations need to adopt novel managerial processes to embrace organizational innovation and make them more efficient and effective.
The GIM facilitates the platform and provides thought-leadership by pooling and curating the expertise of its members and collaborators. It focuses on surfacing knowledge, energy, and inspiration from existing members as well as growing the platform to include new members. Ideas are shared in small, thoughtfully curated group discussions. The association works with partners to translate academic research to applied successes. And it continues to up-skill managers to break down silos and demystify transformation and management tools.
