Have a directory of champions to provide a comprehensive list of individuals who have successfully implemented inclusive innovation in their businesses. These people can serve as role models and mentors for different underrepresented businesses in the ecosystem.
- Champions can be identified by reaching out to successful innovators who advocate for inclusive innovation within different sectors.
- Once identified you can get their consent to include their details in the directory for champion. This could include their background, achievements in inclusive innovation, their availability to be a mentor and if they wish to be contacted etc.,
- A video based on storyboarding using video production software like Adobe Premiere Pro from champions to showcase how they built their business, including information on different funding options available in different sectors can be included along with different funding application processes they went through. It can include both success and failure stories along with stories on how they overcame the challenges. Videos should be accessible to all viewers by including subtitles, text transcripts, audio descriptions, making sure the video can be played across platforms, and that they are of high quality. Also, be mindful of video design.
- The directory platform can also include filters based on industry, type of innovation, region etc.,
- The platform should be accessible to all users including those with disabilities. (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG))
