“For me, innovation is about trying to improve what we are doing. Sometimes we are caught in our daily operations, especially in our humanitarian work. Innovation is not necessarily about data and technology, it is more about trying to think differently and find new ways to operate to improve the way we work.” - World Food Programme project manager and data scientist, Florian Grenouilleau, reveals what innovation means to him. Florian, based in Venezuela, works on innovation Route The Meals - an optimization tool that helps logisticians review and improve their humanitarian supply chains, resulting in efficient delivery networks and routes that minimize costs, CO2 emissions and the risk of disruptions.
