This document discusses Ordnance Survey's need to explore new innovations and opportunities outside its traditional areas of expertise and processes. It outlines several "dilemmas" Ordnance Survey faces in operating both commercially and with a government remit. It then describes Ordnance Survey's processes for searching for new ideas internally through a "Dragons Den" program and externally through collaborations and networks. It emphasizes the importance of creating an environment that unlocks resources, supports innovative processes, propagates trust, changes perceptions, and provides opportunities.
