Curtiss-Wright Selects Qmarkets Software to Fuel Company-Wide Employee Innovation

Highly innovative aerospace, defense, and industrial manufacturer Curtiss-Wright has selected Qmarkets to crowdsource the “collective wisdom” of their global workforce.

Curtiss-Wright has invited its entire global workforce of approximately 9,300 employees to participate in a new idea management platform, provided by leading supplier of collective intelligence solutions: Qmarkets. The award-winning Q-ideate platform enables employees to contribute towards solving a wide variety of strategic business challenges faced by Curtiss-Wright on an ongoing basis.

Launched on March 25th 2020, the platform allows employees to submit innovative ideas for everyone within the organization to see. These ideas are then developed through organic discussion before the most valuable submissions are selected for implementation.

As the ‘corporate descendants’ of the famously ambitious Wright brothers (the fathers of flight) and Mr. Glenn Curtiss (the father of naval aviation), Curtiss-Wright has a strong heritage of innovation, which Qmarkets will help to sustain.

After previously using another file repository to gather ideas from employees, Curtiss-Wright’s project team evaluated a variety of innovation management platform options before deciding which vendor to partner with. Ultimately, the flex edition of Qmarkets’ Q-ideate tool was chosen, in order to leverage advanced self-admin capabilities – including workflow configuration, custom submission forms, role management, and automation functionality. The system will be available in multiple languages to maximize participation.

Curtiss-Wright’s new idea management platform is supported by Qmarkets’ customer success offerings – designed to help ensure the company drives continuous results from their innovation efforts. “It’s really thrilling to be able to support innovation at a company which has proven to be so innovative over such a long period of time.” said Ilona Gochman, Qmarkets’ Head of Customer Success. “We look forward to working closely with Curtiss-Wright and playing a role in helping their innovation efforts reach new heights.”
