Innovation

At TLI, we perform value analysis, review workflow, and re-engineer processes where necessary to drive streams of high value from technology. We have worked extensively on several projects which either employed new technology or used available technology in a new way.

Technology becomes useful at the crossroads of value, usability, and design.

Technology is right when you do not think about the technology, only the output and outcome. Determine outcomes before deciding on the technology. Anticipate flexibility, agility, and resilience as much as possible. Technology can help assess, plan, and measure progress. Getting the technology right is a challenge far more profound than choosing sensors, devices, apps, or securing networks. Technology is a tool to increase the value and usability of the data available to us. New and emerging technologies become impactful when properly employed in a well-crafted system designed to improve performance, health, or well-being, or to solve complex problems.

TLI’s Innovation Hub

Although “innovation” is frequently a buzzword or hot topic, few organizations truly understand how to implement innovation into an existing organizational culture like TLI does. There are so many new methodologies, technologies and tools available today that it is difficult to determine which ones add real value and are relevant to our goals and what we are trying to accomplish. Often, the true value of an innovation can be determined by our conceptualization of it and knowing how to responsibly and appropriately apply it in a beneficial way. We built an Innovation Hub and we apply this model to our internal projects, as well as our external projects for contracted work. 

TLI launched the Innovation Hub in collaboration with our Fellow from American University to evaluate emerging technologies that can improve health and economically empower underserved populations.
