The Australian Financial Review (AFR) has named ORIX in the top 50 Most Innovative Companies across Australia and New Zealand, in 2017.
The AFR’s Most Innovative Companies list, which is now in its sixth year attracted more than 1,000 nominations across numerous industries in Australia and New Zealand and is judged and compiled by innovation consultancy Inventium.
For the first time this year, New Zealand companies were included and it awards firms at the cutting edge of innovative design who have integrated and embedded innovation into their organisation and whose innovation is a change that adds value.
An extensive assessment process that consisted of entrants nominating and describing two innovations, a selection of short answer questions as well as an online survey that is opened to a sample of employees to assess innovation drivers within the organisation. This is to ensure that while organisations were producing noteworthy innovations, they were also effectively embedding innovation within the culture of the organisation.
The two innovations that ORIX won their submission on was the ORIX Customer Companion App and their customer centre, ORIX OneView, which have both been launched within the last 12 months and provide an integrated web platform unlike other offerings in the market.
“ORIX is proud to receive this award which affirms our commitment to continually bring new initiatives to market that create value for our clients” Mary Moran, General Manager Technology & Innovation.
