    We are pleased to announce the publication of Key Findings: Blueprints for Innovation, a report on the latest findings from Filene i³ (Ideas, Innovation, Implementation).

    The report authored by Denise Gabel, chief innovation officer, features:

    • 12 new idea blueprints developed around helping members.

    • Three updated blueprints on ideas gaining national traction.

    We encourage you to keep this catalog of ideas at hand as you develop your organization’s goals and tactics for today’s challenging times, and consider how these solutions may meet your members’ needs. Full concept documents are available at filene.org/home/innovation. In the name of open source innovation—make some improvements, and if you implement any of the ideas, please keep us posted on your results.
