Yes - sounds perfectly ok to use. My only advice would be to really try to focus on the innovation you implemented. I see a lot of these answers around adapting society activities online, and my only concern is that everyone had to do that - it wasn’t necessarily innovation just necessity. However, I have seen these examples work well when they really focus on the novel/unique aspects of how they adapted to online methodsI'm currently going through the Hogan Lovells application form - on the question about innovative and entrepreneurial spirit, the main example I can think of is organising a panel event as president of my university college's law society (through moving the event online due to COVID, liaising with panellists beforehand to help them adapt to technological changes, marketing the event online through social media and through communicating with careers officers and my counterparts at other law societies) - however, the one problem is that I talked about this event for last year's VS application, and received a rejection. I hasten to add that I don't think it was because of this question - not only because I was successful talking at length about this event on other application forms, but also because I feel in hindsight that other answers I submitted were not as good, and the time I submitted the application (mid-late December IIRC) may have been too late, given Hogan Lovells' application policy?
Do you reckon it would be okay to talk about organising the panel event again on this year's application form?
