We’ve helped companies completely transform themselves through idea management, but for many businesses it’s still a new concept, and a hard thing to get right. Idea management is the process of generating, collating, analysing and implementing ideas that solve real business problems, as part of a wider innovation strategy. Effective development and implementation of meaningful ideas will empower businesses to improve quality, while reducing costs.
Idea to Value
JULY 21, 2017
Every company says that innovation is important, and that they value the ideas of their people. Together, they reduce the risk of failure, improve the success rate of new ideas and can help build an organisation which is more resilient to change and able to grow.

Staff members won’t know whether or not their ideas will ever actually get used, so why bother? Idea Drop
