About this measure

This measure demonstrates the Office of Innovation and Performance’s (I&P) efforts to foster a culture of innovation by showing the number of employees who have participated in innovation programs and activities.

Data are reported by the Cuyahoga County Office of Innovation and Performance on a quarterly basis.
Why is this important?

Engaging employees through training, process improvement projects, performance management, and strategic plan implementation creates an environment where ideas, innovation, and creativity can flourish.
How are we making an impact?

Fostering a culture of innovation requires engaging employees in innovation efforts.

In Q1-22 the Cuyahoga County Innovation Academy continued to increase participation. There was a total of 17 people that attended the two yellow belts & one green belt course. Innovation & Performance expects those numbers to continue to increase now that the County is back in the office full time.

Innovation & Performance also hosted a number of other project sessions to engage participants in innovation efforts. These projects included development of a performance management dashboard expected to go-live in Q2-22; a table top exercise for the Central Booking project at the jail; and an Ideation Session with Case and Cleveland State professors to identify projects for an open National Science Foundation grant.
