Start putting numbers behind the changes you’re making.

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.

Whether starting from scratch or just looking to improve your current innovation program, these are the pieces you need to build a program that improves your culture and bottom-line.

Idea management programs should be focused around three goals: increasing employee engagement, gaining revenues and cutting costs.

There are a lot of factors primary decision-makers need to consider when it comes to implementing idea management software: buy it, build it or don’t even bother with it (hint: that’s a bad idea.)

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.

Idea management is a critical component for companies to secure their market position and meet the needs of their stakeholders.  

The implementation of innovation management software is an exciting – and increasingly important – step for any company to take. It can open the door to a seemingly endless stream of innovative ideas from employees, shareholders and consumers.
