In Fall 2018, I took a 7 week “Engaging Stakeholders in Innovation” class. My teammates and I were tasked with conducting an “innovation assessment” on an organization of our choice, and facilitating an activity that could be used to help strengthen them on particular innovation parameters. Continuing my work with YWCA Madison in Summer 2018, we evaluated that organization and provided recommendations on moving forward.

Here is our full project and recommendations.
