CAHS (Child and Adolescent Health Service) is home to world-class clinicians with incredible ideas. But too often, these ideas struggled to get off the ground – buried under competing priorities, unclear pathways, and a lack of time or confidence to pitch.
The CAHS Innovation team wanted to change this: to create a clear, accessible system that empowered staff to submit and grow ideas that aligned with CAHS’s strategic priorities – and attract funding to make them a reality.
Anthologie worked closely with CAHS to develop a robust, repeatable Innovation Pitch Framework that would guide clinicians through each stage of the process—from defining a problem, to shaping a compelling solution, to building a funder-ready pitch.
To embed this process at scale, we then designed and delivered a custom digital platform – a staff-facing Innovation Portal that enables anyone in the organisation to submit ideas and track their progress through a transparent, multi-phase evaluation process.
Staff are supported every step of the way with coaching, templates, and pitch resources—ensuring that every idea has the potential to succeed.
The Innovation Portal is now a live, central hub for submissions, feedback, and support—used across the organisation to assess and grow ideas. It includes custom scoring tools, resource libraries, tailored submission flows for targeted funding rounds, and a public-facing idea browser that encourages collaboration and transparency.
The new model is helping CAHS surface, refine, and fund more high-potential ideas—unlocking innovation from within.
