INITIATIVE GROUP PROJECTS & INNOVATIONS
The Projects and Innovation Initiative Group pursues the goal of transferring the work results of the DICO working groups and forums (e.g. standards, guidelines, working papers, white papers) into digital, user-friendly applications. Together with the DICO community, it looks for suitable topics, identifies potential cooperation partners and takes on project, contract and quality management. The initiative group is in close contact with the Executive Board to ensure that DICO’s strategic direction and the selection of suitable projects are optimally dovetailed.
Following the successful going live of the first projects, the initiative group is currently working on several projects in parallel with the working groups and regularly receives new inquiries and ideas for further projects. The newly created innovation team is currently being set up and is therefore looking for active and experienced support from the ranks of DICO members.
