11. What is CODI?What is ?
the Schneider Electric Center of Digital Innovation, a collaborative effort
between Schneider Digital and GSC Transformation
the vanguard of GSC Open Innovation, working with external companies,
startups, and educational institutions (as well as customers!)
CODI runs a rotating portfolio of innovation programs, which mainly focus
on emerging technologies
12. A program to create an eXtended network of innovators & disruptors and to:
• Drive Innovation Culture, speed up the pace of POCs & support production deployments
• Provide centralized managed structure to handle contact and engagement with the global
Innovation ecosystems
2 Modes of execution
• Geography Specific Leaders support CODIx initiatives & the innovation ecosystem through
long term (multi-year) assignments + key selected representatives from Central Functions
• CODIx Teams of innovative/disruptive employees & interns leveraging agile project
methodologies and working with select vendors to develop rapid proof of concepts (POCs) to
test and evaluate the applicability of solutions to Supply Chain challenges.

Typical POC/Pilot Structure
Days 1-30: Gap assessment between aspirations and
current performance. Harvest Ideas & analyze relative to
goals.
Days 20-50: Focus in on strategic areas of opportunity.
Meet with customers, conduct intra-BU workshops to
validate ideas. Eliminate projects with lower impact.
Days 20-70: Kickstart innovation engines – small, agile,
skilled, dedicated empowered teams of hackers.
Begin POC development.
Days 70-90: Evaluate pilot programs & expand Innovation
program. Prepare for second wave of potential innovation
projects.
