Plan your first Flywheel

Innovation works better when it runs like a flywheel.

Ideanote’s Innovation-Led Growth Flywheel framework guides you through the three vital elements.

First you figure out the Purpose of the Idea Collection.

Next, define the People: decide on the initiators that own the Idea Collection with you, the audience of contributors, the group of evaluators or reviewers and the stakeholders that have agreed to implementing relevant winning ideas.

Lastly, kickstart the Process: collecting ideas, engaging the audience, managing ideas and measuring the impact.

The trick is to do one small thing end-to-end. Pick a challenge. Ask for ideas. Decide on one. Act. Close the loop. Share the result. This is the pattern you want to lock in. When people see the system works, they show up again.

Once you get the flywheel going, you can build on it and keep one flywheel going or add more.
