Innovation, a value creator

Within SADE’s business lines, innovation is a day to day occurrence:

• discovering, developing, adapting technical processes;
• perfecting day to day operational procedures and equipment;
• improving safety and working conditions;
• organising completion of the works.

• The objective is to stimulate and encourage every employee’s thought processes, relying on the individual’s creative potential to rapidly transform ideas into improvements and concrete results.  
• The ambition of this pragmatic approach is to share innovative concepts by actively replicating these ideas and converting the best into good practice.

General Management is closely involved in the shared innovation process.

The Technical Department motivates, supports, energises and nurtures the policy on a daily basis: this structure is in charge of organising, designing and planning the palette of innovations.

The Design Office plays a vital role in terms of continually designing the technical alternatives that place SADE in pole position with its clients.

Field coordinators: some 20 SADE innovators who assist the departmental managers to foster the approach encourage positive reaction to tests and coordinate the implementation of standardised solutions.

A motivated and determined staff.
