Who Drives Innovation in Your Organization?

Most companies struggle to identify their real innovators. Your best idea generators, most engaged collaborators, and active contributors often go unnoticed.

Ideanote leaderboards make innovation activity visible across your organization. You choose what to track: top ideators who submit the most ideas, top commenters who drive discussions forward, top raters who provide feedback, or ideas that receive the most support from colleagues.

Set up leaderboards at the collection level to track activity within specific campaigns or challenges. Or create workspace-level leaderboards to see who contributes most across your entire innovation program.

Run Team Competitions

Track contributions by team or department to create friendly competition across your organization. Sales versus Marketing. London office versus New York. Product teams versus Operations. Team-based leaderboards show which groups engage most with your innovation efforts.

Spot Your Emerging Leaders

Leaderboards reveal employees who show initiative and entrepreneurial thinking. HR teams use this data to identify potential leaders and understand team dynamics. Innovation managers use it to recognize contributors and encourage broader participation.

Set up a leaderboard in minutes. Add an analytics view, choose a list chart, select User or Team as your data source, then pick your metric. Your innovation leaders become visible to the entire organization.

How do leaderboards work in Ideanote?

You create leaderboards by adding an analytics view and choosing a list-type chart. You select either User or Team as your data source, then pick the metric you want to track: number of ideas, number of comments, number of ratings, or number of likes received.

Leaderboards display at the collection level or workspace level. This means you decide where to show them based on your audience and goals.

What types of contributions do leaderboards track?

Leaderboards track four types of activity: ideas submitted, comments posted, ratings given, and likes received on ideas. You choose which metric to display when you set up each leaderboard.

This lets you recognize different types of contributions. You highlight idea generators, active discussants, feedback providers, or ideas with the most team support.

How do team-based leaderboards work?

When you set up a leaderboard, you choose Team as the data source instead of User. The leaderboard then ranks teams by their collective activity, such as total ideas submitted by team members.

This creates friendly competition between departments or locations. Teams see where they stand relative to other groups in your organization.

Who sees the leaderboards?

You control leaderboard visibility based on where you place them. A leaderboard in a specific collection shows to everyone with access to that collection. A workspace-level leaderboard shows to all workspace members.

This means you run department-specific competitions or organization-wide recognition programs. You decide the scope based on your innovation goals.

How do leaderboards help identify innovation leaders?

Leaderboards surface your most active contributors by name or team. You see who consistently submits ideas, engages in discussions, or provides feedback on others' proposals.

This visibility helps you spot employees with entrepreneurial drive. HR and innovation managers use this data to identify potential leaders and understand team dynamics across the organization.

Do leaderboards work for both employee and customer innovation programs?

Yes. You set up leaderboards the same way regardless of your audience. The feature tracks participation metrics for anyone who submits ideas, comments, or rates in your innovation program.

This means you run competitions and recognition programs for internal teams, external customers, or partner networks. The mechanics stay the same across different program types.

How do I set up multiple leaderboards for different metrics?

You add multiple analytics views to your collection or workspace. Each view holds one leaderboard with its own metric. For example, you create one leaderboard for top ideators and another for top commenters.

This lets you recognize different types of participation simultaneously. Teams see multiple ways to contribute and get recognized for their strengths.
