Examples – How idea management brings employees to creative maximum performance<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Idea management is more than just an idea mailbox. It is a lively interactive process in which employees contribute their ideas for new products and services. The following three examples show how companies use the creative potential of their employees for the generation and development of ideas with the help of different approaches.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Wenzel Group<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

A medium-sized manufacturer of measuring machines called on more than 300 employees to develop new ideas for innovative products and processes. The result: More than 100 ideas within a few weeks. Many of them have been implemented. The secret of success: The competition was limited in time, the questions were concrete. The competitive character played a decisive role in the employees’ involvement.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The south german construction company is a good example of how idea management can be used to achieve strategic goals. The company invited almost 300 employees to the annual ideas competition. The task: “Be simply the best” – ideas were sought to make the company even more efficient and customer-friendly. The response: More than 150 ideas to remain cost and quality leader in the industry.<\/p>\n<\/div>

S-Bahn Mitteldeutschland<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

S-Bahn Mitteldeutschland used the Innolytics\u00ae idea management software for an innovative customer dialogue in which customer improvement opportunities could be discussed directly with the employees. Together with Innolytics\u00ae GmbH, the campaign themes were designed, the approach to customers planned and the platform set up. Innolytics\u00ae GmbH also hosted the campaign from 12 September to 21 October 2016.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>

At all three companies, the use of the idea management software had desired “side effects”: The campaigns on the platform made a major contribution to changing the culture of the companies: Employees from various departments began to think about innovations and to exchange ideas across departments.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Modern idea management: examples of a change in corporate culture<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Traditional idea management primarily served to collect suggestions from employees and have them evaluated and finally awarded prizes by experts within a regulated process. Modern idea management, supported by tools such as Innolytics\u00ae<\/sup> Ideas, permanently changes a corporate culture in the direction of an innovation culture<\/a>. This creates important prerequisites for increasing innovative ability<\/a>. The results can be measured using instruments such as an employee survey: Factors such as the internal networking of departments or the commitment of employees to ideas and improvements are constantly increasing.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Why? Because it is digital technologies that make possible what science has regarded for years as a prerequisite for a living corporate culture that promotes innovation: The networking of employees across departmental boundaries and hierarchy levels. In the past, idea management was very difficult to contribute to this: for example, seminars, workshops or events could be organized, but real cooperation beyond the borders of departments was hardly possible.<\/p>\n<\/div>
