An action plan for the Center for Technological Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Health - NITE Saúde at the Federal University of Health Sciences of Porto Alegre – UFCSPA
Innovation. Action plan. TTO.
This work presents a case study on the development of a proposal for an action plan for the Center for Technological Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Health - NITE Saúde at the Federal University of Health Sciences of Porto Alegre - UFCSPA. The action plan was elaborated based on workshops held with members of NITE Saúde and its NITE-Saúde CONITE Commission. The strategic tools of Public Governance Canvas, SWOT analysis, and Benchmark were applied. The discussions promoted during the workshops, through application of the chosen tools, resulted in a plan with 37 actions, distributed among NITE’s areas of expertise. Considering the high number of selected actions, and the limitations of NITE Saúde, criteria were also proposed to prioritize implementation of the actions. The action plan is expected to be a strategic instrument for strengthening the Center, as the office in charge of innovation at UFCSPA.
