The Government of Ontario

Public Sector Innovation

The Governement of Ontario is responsible for all public sector activities and oversee's all public service employees for the operations of the Province of Ontario. This includes ministries, departments and agencies province-wide, servicing a population on over 12 million citizens. Management had initially mandated their internal IT department to develop a technology to service this initiative; the project ran into difficulty resulting in a very short window to deliver on a promised launch date. Idealink^TM was deployed by the Premier's Cabinet Office to generate hard-dollar savings and fee-based service ideas from FTEs and PTEs network wide, leading to financial gains beyond original targets and the seeding of a governement-funded incubator.

Results:

• Idealink Custom^TM system designed, configured, tested and implemented in 12-days
• 8 week high-intensity Idea campiagn
• 57,000 employees
• 13,000+ ideas
• $102 million in new cost savings and chargeable services
• Windfall funded a $17 million New Business Incubation Center that is seeding new revenue-generating ventures for the administration
