And also a capability that empowers innovators to pioneer new ideas, experiment with novel technologies and accelerate value. Underpinning this vision was an innovation framework and operating model supported by the right tools, ways of working and technologies that worked for National Grid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-delivering-success-with-dataconnect\"><strong>Delivering success with DataConnect<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>National Grid\u2019s Innovation Lab delivers innovation globally through collaboration with DataConnect. With fireside chats, and internal marketing, Capgemini empowered teams from across the organisation to get involved and be innovators &#8211; resulting in over a hundred new ideas in just a few months. Working with National Grid\u2019s ecosystem of partners, Capgemini delivered over 12 projects in less than six months with clear business value. These ranged from creating digital twins of substations, simulating cyber- attack paths, using Generative AI to smartly summarise key documents and helping people understand their own unused \u2018dark data\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"CAPGEMINI X NATIONAL GRID\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OoE10P0Zj84?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-promoting-progress-with-the-innovation-lab\"><strong>Promoting progress with the Innovation Lab<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Innovation Lab is a ground-breaking innovation capability that is transforming National Grid\u2019s ability to test and learn and accelerate a greener inclusive future for us all.
