With your innovation goals in place and a strategy to execute on them ready to implement, it’s time to let everyone know.
Where are your innovation efforts leading you in the new year?
More and more, organizations are empowering their employees to think critically about the challenges facing them.
You don’t have to be Google to instill an “intrapreneurial” mindset in your employees.
When looking to introduce a new Innovation or Idea Management program, one of the most frequent challenges can be building out and selling the business case to decision makers within a firm. Objections from these individuals can be numerous, but we at Ideawake understand the root of these objections and have outlined the explanation you need to overcome them and ease leaders’ concerns.
If you’ve launched an Idea Management program in your company, you’re on the cusp of using a powerful business tool to dramatically increase innovation within your firm. An Idea Management program is the ideal way to tap into the power of your most valuable asset, your employees. However, if employees aren’t engaging with your Idea Management program, you likely won’t maximize your potential returns.
We often hear decision makers at mid-sized companies say that their company is too small to see the benefits of implementing an idea management platform.
The return on investment (ROI) of idea management software is an important facet for buyers to consider during their decision-making process. ROI is a performance measure that indicates whether money and time spent is ultimately worth the return value.
The desire to be heard and feel valued is natural. From CEOs to employees to consumers, it’s important to provide people with the opportunity to share their thoughts and opinions.
A key and often (unfortunately) over-looked portion of an employee-powered innovation program is communication of what’s really going on behind the scenes.
