IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: NEW Operations-Innovation Trials option

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Auction to select "hosts" for Operations-Innovation Trials in U.S.

The Humaneering Institute now offers three EarlyAccess private beta field trial options:

  1. Single-Application Trials, focuses on a specific problem or needed improvement [Temporarily suspended*]
  2. Vendor-Product Trials, focuses on integrating humaneering protocol into a vendor's product or service [Temporarily suspended*]
  3. Operations-Innovation Trials, focuses on (a) applying humaneering technology to a client-selected series of high-potential opportunities during a multi-year program of operations innovation, improvement and problem solving, and (b) developing a culture and capability for operations managers at all levels to design and manage people-dependent operations for step-increased levels of effectiveness and productivity

The Institute's current R&D capacity limits the new Operations-Innovation Trial option to 30 companies in the U.S. and another 30 companies in other regions of the world. Sampling methodology further limits the U.S. trials to one company per industry sector.

Because of these limitations, the Institute will use an auction to fairly and efficiently assign these opportunities. Registration for the auction of the U.S. Operations-Innovation Trial opportunities began June 21st. Learn more about the Operations-Innovation Trials and this auction.

* The Institute will temporarily suspend the start of new Single-Application and Vendor-Product Trials until well into 2012. However, companies interested in these options should notify the Institute of their interest, as the Institute will follow a "waiting-list" order when contacting companies once these options resume.
