How it works

You ask for ideas on, for example, new business opportunities to challenges of existing customers
Alice submits a new idea she thinks could help existing customers
John attaches a business case calculation to the idea and notifies Katie
Katie evaluates the idea and recognizes that this idea could turn into a profitable new product
Katie drafts a plan and assigns the idea to Ben's team for implementation next month
Ben implements the idea and the new product increases revenue by 12%, worth an extra $3M annually

The result? More innovation.

A systematic approach to collecting and managing ideas helps you make more innovation happen by focusing your efforts on what matters.
