ABOUT

Skanska UK are part of the global Skanska AB Group, and are one of the UK’s leading civil engineering firms. Skanska UK is comprised of a number of specialist business units, each of which operate semi-autonomously, but who collaborate to solve client needs when required.
As a brand / business, Skanska are seen as an innovator – they have championed several methodologies & techniques that have advanced the industry and helped them to grow as a business.
Alloy worked with the newly formed central Innovation Team to help them develop strategies, tools and content that would help build a more innovative culture within the business.

As a new department, the Innovation Team needed to establish itself as a collaborative ‘hub’, and not as a replacement for those who were responsible for innovation within each business unit. Alloy worked with the team to create a structure for the innovation champions in each business unit, who would lead and drive the challenges, competitions and calls created by the Innovation Dept.
Alloy helped to define a corporate innovation programme, supported by a range of digital materials that would help the team communicate the importance and activities of innovation to the business, and over time, to foster a more collaborative innovation culture within the business.
