The Create idea management tool is built to (1) collect ideas, (2) organize them and help (3) execute the best ideas through manageable projects.

(1) Collecting ideas
Companies who use the idea management tool can request ideas to address specific challenges - idea campaigns. You can also submit ideas on any general topic you think is relevant to the company. Submitting an idea is made simple and user friendly - you have to include four items:

• Idea title
• What do you propose?
• How will this benefit the company?
• What actions will have to be initiated?
• You may also attach files with any drawings or other information to explain the idea

(2) Organizing ideas
When an idea is submitted, the company can tag the idea to organize the ideas for future discussions and rate the idea to prioritize the most interesting, best ideas. The rating is also used to decide the reward to give to the person who submitted the idea.

Ideas should be discussed and developed at regular meetings in the company's innovation team. The decisions on which ideas should be followed up and implemented through smaller or larger projects should be based on discussions in the innovation team.

(3) Executing ideas through projects
Implementing ideas will normally require a development and implementation planning phase. This phase can take anything from hours to years depending on the scope of the task. Many companies have project management tools to assist in organizing this task.

The Create Idea Management tool can export ideas so you can design projects in your project management tool of choice. We are happy to help you choose a user friendly project tool to match your needs. Using the right tools will make your project execution both better and more efficient!
