Challenges

Giving up on finding a solution means giving up on your company.

Solving an extraordinary challenge means everyone needs to pull the same rope. But how are you going to involve a large crowd in organized, collaborative innovation that leads to results?

Sending an email to everyone and waiting for replies won't do the trick.

Ideas are being killed.

The Benefits of Launching an Innovation Challenge

Launching an innovation challenge has many benefits. A common one is the insight it provides to customers and employees. This is especially true for leaders that are eager to gather insights about what their customers or employees really need. Innovation challenges also create a sense of excitement and enthusiasm among employees. They raise confidence by showing employees they're valued and respected, which can lead to increased productivity.

How to Launch an Innovation Challenge

Innovation Challenges are usually used to get employees to think about ways to improve their current work. However, they can also be used for other purposes, such as understanding customer needs or improving customer service. To set up an Innovation Challenge, you need to identify the area that needs improvement, describe the challenge in detail, and then give specific instructions on how to submit entries. This approach will encourage your employees or customers to think creatively when coming up with solutions for the problem. Companies which engage their customers and employees with innovation challenges were more innovative and had higher-than-average customer satisfaction.

With Ideanote you can launch innovation challenges easily and customize everything from the submission form to the look and feel as well as automate feedback loops for incoming ideas. Identify the best solutions faster with precise evaluation functionality and keep engagement high with a transparent, structured and collaborative process and headboards.

Companies should tap into what their customers and employees want and need. Companies and their leaders will need to adopt a new way of thinking and leading if they want to continue to exist. They can start by asking themselves: What do we offer that is truly valuable? What needs are we fulfilling? How can we better understand our customer or employee's needs?
