The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) call for the transformation of existing solutions and operational models to address today’s growing humanitarian and development challenges. Switzerland may be one of the most innovative countries worldwide; the level of investment in innovation in the development sector remains chronically low, lagging behind the corporate sector. Innovation skills are inadequate and the organisational culture remains risk-averse.

Therefore, cinfo proposed the issue of digital transformation, agility and innovation for the 2019 immersion day. We wanted to inspire participants with stories, and provide an overview of tools and methods, as well as a space to discuss and create a support network of peers and partners.

Of course, innovation does not happen at the touch of a button. With this gazette, we have captured the essence of the discussions of the immersion day, and highlight the key changes required to become an ‘organisation of the future’. We hope that you will emerge with many ideas and the drive to realise them in your daily work.
