Case studies
Through our research, we mapped the evolution of both intrapreneurial initiatives as well as the journeys of many innovation units. Here you can find 11 in-depth case studies describing innovative initiatives in the UN as they went from ideation to scaling. Below that, you can find 6 case studies on the birth, development, and activities of innovation units in UN agencies. These case studies can help other organizations and innovators learn from the challenges and workarounds of those who have undertaken similar endeavors.
