Pursuit Technology has always sought to be innovative and cutting-edge with its products. One of the company’s five core values is innovation. On Oct. 14, 2022, this commitment to innovation was formally recognized when Pursuit Technology was announced to have placed fourth on the 2022 Australian Financial Review (AFR) BOSS Most Innovative Companies List for Technology. Now in its 11th year, the list ranks the most innovative organizations in Australia and New Zealand by industry, and is the only national list of its kind.
The prestigious annual list is based on a rigorous assessment process managed by Australia’s leading behavioral science consultancy Inventium, in conjunction with a panel of industry-expert judges. The assessment is based on Inventium’s Innovation Framework, which comprises the nine elements science has shown to drive innovation.
The assessment also judges the organization’s top innovation from the previous two years. Specifically, the judges look at how valuable the problem is that the innovation is solving, the quality and uniqueness of the solution, and the level of impact that the innovation has had.
“It is so encouraging to see Australian entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs continuing to come up with fresh ideas and executing them. Innovations such as those highlighted in the 2022 AFR BOSS Most Innovative Companies list should help to propel our economy,” said Sally Patten, Editor, BOSS.
Pursuit Technology entered the award based on the capability framework and mapping feature launched this year for its Acorn learning management system (LMS) software. This feature is the first in market to ensure companies with a capability-led strategy have a technology enabler in place to clearly build organizational capability that is linked to delivering on company strategy.
“It is amazing to see the team’s work be recognized in such a prestigious way. We have a different take on the skills marketplace and learning industry, and it’s fantastic to get some recognition for our approach and innovation in the space,” said Blake Proberts, co-founder and Managing Director, Pursuit.
