I work in a state govt department. Very simple infrastructure additions have paid out majorly for us. It's my job to innovate around research infrastructure, so the following should be read as outcomes of my role, not bragging.

I migrated my division from Word docs on shared drives to Atlassian Confluence Wikis, which made knowledge more discoverable amd accessible.

For a work group, I set up a CKAN data catalogue. Soon after, our division adopted it, and after demonstrating it at a GovHack hackathon, I got seconded to our sister agency to build the first production version of https://data.wa.gov.au.

For a statewide turtle monitoring program, I switched out paper-based data capture with electronic data capture using OpenDataKit. We now have real-time data analysis and reporting. Many colleagues have found a similar need for electronic data capture. Claim to fame: wrote an R package `ruODK` to facilitate data access from ODK to R.
