This project puts the focus on innovation towards sustainability driven by teamwork inside an organisation. The case study company is TED BED, which is a leader in mattress production in Bulgaria and is also striving to become a notable example for the industry. There are major issues in this field, from waste management to sleep deprivation and disorders. Therefore, sustainable development plays an important role in the strategies which have a holistic approach toward each one of the three pillars of sustainability: economic, social and ecological. These complexities can be solved only by having a deep comprehension of several fields which could be best obtained through the teamwork of organisational members from various backgrounds. Thus, the expected outcome is to build a new mindset with which those strategies could be fulfilled. This is done by integrating a bottom-up approach, meaning that the employees are developing a plan on how a specific strategy could be implemented into real practice. The result is a proposal for integrating togetherness activities to spark creativity and drive innovation through cross-departmental work.
