How do you build momentum behind an innovation program while navigating the complexities of a merger and integrating new teams? For Forvis Mazars, the answer lies in empowering their people, embracing collaboration, and staying relentlessly focused on progress.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, innovation success stories can be a bit myopic, focusing too narrowly on a single shiny campaign or headline-worthy results. But real innovation management at a large organization like Forvis Mazars is a long-term strategic journey. It requires a macro perspective to truly understand what\u2019s needed to deliver sustainable, meaningful results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this ongoing case study, we\u2019re sharing the full journey of Forvis Mazars\u2019 innovation program\u2014the good, the bad, and everything in between. Last year, we caught up with the team one year after the launch of their EUREKA! platform to explore how they established a strong foundation of engagement and participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, two years on, I reconnected with Denny Ard, John Yoo, and Emma Briley from the U.S.-based EDGE team, which runs the EUREKA! program. They shared how the program has evolved, built on its early successes, and achieved new milestones while continuing to foster a culture of innovation across the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting the Scene: Laying the Foundation for an Innovation Management Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A year ago, FORVIS was a new name in the professional services world, formed from the merger of BKD and DHG in 2022. With innovation as a key priority, the firm had already begun harnessing the power of its new EUREKA! platform, powered by Qmarkets\u2019 idea management software Q-ideate, to gather ideas and drive improvements across the business. In our first interview with the team, we explored how they were building the foundations of their innovation program. If you missed it, you can read the first part of the story here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then, FORVIS has had another significant rebirth. Following the formation of a $5B global network with Mazars, the organization now named Forvis Mazars is benefitting from greater opportunities for collaboration on a global scale. While the U.S. firm continues to navigate the complexities of integration within this newly established network, its innovation program has not only remained strong but has gained remarkable momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
