We are always impressed by the range and scale of the ideas that are shared. We have shown time after time how innovation in the workplace can bring wide benefits to employees, customers and organisations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Idea of the Year competition provides a great opportunity for you to recognise the people who submitted those incredible ideas,\u00a0and help boost employee engagement as it acknowledges their contribution to your business success. Even if you are not shortlisted or don&#8217;t quite win a trophy on the night, the fact of entering provides a mechanism to let your employees know you truly value their work, which can be a huge confidence boost.<\/p>\n<h4>For the first time in the history of the competition we were delighted to announce joint winners in 2023, both from the RAF<\/h4>\n<p><strong> <br class=\"avia-permanent-lb\" \/>PROJECT APPIVATE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Project APPIVATE began as an Astra innovation project following the submission of the idea by a Squadron Leader (then Flight Lieutenant). He identified the need for an in-house software development team in the RAF, to address myriad needs from across the Service for applications to support operational output and human resources. Within two years of the proof of concept beginning, the team were delivering critical output for the RAF and this year saw the team become the first Astra Sprint to formally be brought into core business as part of RAF Digital.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PROJECT SPHINX<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Operational planning has progressed significantly as Immersive Technology\u00a0shapes the way forward, focusing primarily on Extended Reality (XR) technologies such as Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality. Project SPHINX, gives a new three-dimensional domain of immersive technology, satellite imagery and other\u00a0critical data which are overlaid on a real-time world like a digital twin.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='benefits'  class='avia-section av-5xrw0-50a46ea89061da795717089fc5afd651 main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-2758'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-llf7jdv6-03e6994ae74a9f02f9295a93c75fdc2a\">\n.flex_column.av-llf7jdv6-03e6994ae74a9f02f9295a93c75fdc2a{\npadding:50px 50px 50px 50px;\nbackground-color:rgba(116,163,59,0.2);\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-llf7jdv6-03e6994ae74a9f02f9295a93c75fdc2a av_one_full  avia-builder-el-8  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  first flex_column_div  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-lkclhvig-7f2e45e734545a58b502d76a1cef7ffc '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ef6a3f;\">BENEFITS<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">RECOGNISE AND REWARD THE PEOPLE WHO SUBMITTED IDEAS<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">INCREASE EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">ACKNOWLEDGE EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTION TOWARDS BUSINESS SUCCESS<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">BOOST YOUR ORGANISATION PROFILE<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">COMPARE YOUR IDEAS TO OTHER ORGANISATIONS<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='key'  class='avia-section av-4xde8-39b32eab953237249d425d20dda8f0eb main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_one_fourth  fixedpanel avia-bg-style-fixed container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-2758'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div class='flex_column_table av-llf7w9pg-e7e9d8cce5817c9c4cd7e465a3cf856f sc-av_one_full av-equal-height-column-flextable'>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-llf7w9pg-e7e9d8cce5817c9c4cd7e465a3cf856f\">\n.flex_column.av-llf7w9pg-e7e9d8cce5817c9c4cd7e465a3cf856f{\npadding:50px 50px 50px 50px;\nbackground:url(https:\/\/www.ideasuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/key-dates-faded.jpg) 50% 50% no-repeat scroll ;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-llf7w9pg-e7e9d8cce5817c9c4cd7e465a3cf856f av_one_full  avia-builder-el-11  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  key-dates-panel invalid-custom-class-found first flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-top  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-lkclkx87-2dc843c428ef0f4766881b865a84719d '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #74a33b;\">KEY DATES FOR IDEA OF THE YEAR COMPETITION<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>4th March 2024<\/strong> &#8211; Idea of the Year Competition open.
