Labs

Through the Experience Labs, BIF manages Collaborative Innovation Projects that enable innovators to:

  • Test strategies to successfully design new business models.
  • Prototype innovative approaches and provide proof-of-concept findings.
  • Speed the larger scale roll-out of a new idea by understanding implementation realities.
  • Learn how others face the challenges of innovation and implementation.
  • Justify the return on innovation investment.

BIF currently runs four Experience Labs: Citizen, Patient, Student, and Consumer.
