It has been an exciting year of innovation and sharing our successes at ITD.  As a department, we saved more than $1.2 million dollars, 27,000 hours, and improved our customer service and performance measures for the citizens of Idaho in fiscal 2016.

Thanks to each and every one of you that stood up to be counted in “Innovate ITD!”

In 2016, there were 275 innovations reported by ITD employees! Your innovation stewards and the Innovative Business Practices team selected three nominees for each of seven Best of the Best categories.

It is up to YOU to decide this year’s Best of the Best. Using the link below, you can vote for your favorites from Sept. 6-20. You may cast one vote per category.

Please take the time to read a little bit about each innovation and vote for the seven you think are the Best of the Best for 2016!

Everyone who participated in “Innovate ITD!” this year will receive an “Innovate ITD!” 2016 pin.  Your Innovation Steward will be delivering your pin in the next couple of weeks.
