South East Water Case Study
For a great story about Dynamic Horizons work with South East Water, read the read the BRW article.
South East Water is one of Melbourne’s three state-owned metropolitan water retailers. The company provides drinking water and sewerage services to 1.3 million people over 3,640 square kilometres. Dynamic Horizons has been working with South East Water since late 2004 to develop the successful Brain Waves innovation program. Brain Waves is about growing South East Water’s culture to support innovation in all forms – from operational to service to business model innovation. It is also tasked with uncovering, evaluating, and implementing opportunities for revenue growth, productivity increases and social and environmental initiatives.
Since inception Brain Waves has had successes right across South East Water. From 2005 to 2006 more than 200 ideas were registered with Brain Waves. 50 of these ideas have been implemented and the same number again are still being monitored or assessed.
In 2006 Dynamic Horizons helped South East Water run its biggest innovation initiative to date – an internal business planning competition called the Brain Waves Cup. Specifically, the Brain Waves Cup called for ideas that could greatly enhance performance, significantly change the way South East Water operates or had a strong community or sustainability focus. Twenty percent of the business participated in 18 teams that spent five months turning their ideas into viable business plans. Final business plans were submitted in June and winners were decided based on innovativeness of the concept, benefits to South East Water and quality of the plan.
Nine of these final business plans have since been approved by Managing Director Dennis Cavagna to move forward. Included in these plans are new business models, safety initiatives and new services for residential and commercial customers. Projected financial benefits from the projects are well into seven figures and there are numerous social and environmental benefits.
