Frequently Asked Questions

What is Idea Management?

Idea management is a systematic approach for organizations to capture, develop, prioritize and implement ideas. It helps teams and departments transform creative ideas from the frontlines into actionable solutions by offering a structured process that moves ideas from open brainstorming to structured development and execution of selected ideas. If your business is using good idea management software, you can make sure that no idea is lost in the gaps and innovation is working towards measurable and attainable goals.

This Mass Idea Mobilization approach draws on the collective intelligence of your organization, pivoting swiftly to address new challenges effectively.

What's the story behind Ideanote?

Ideanote was founded in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2015 with the goal to make more ideas matter. We were tired of 10-page paper forms and other ridiculously outdated processes most businesses have when it comes for employees to submit their best ideas.

Ideanote is designed to make submitting and managing ideas faster for everyone involved. It focuses on both making the process engaging enough so you can ensure that enough ideas are collected while also helping you prioritize ideas and save time every step of the way. You'll never be able to set your innovation on autopilot but we'll try to get you as close as we can.

Today Ideanote has enterprise customers across industries and markets, from Dallas to Dubai, Singapore to Sydney. Let's make ideas matter, together.
