Idealink OpenTM
Idealink Open is a highly configurable off-the-shelf solution for companies that want to take advantage of an open innovation workflow.
It has many of the same robust idea processing features found in Idealink Sequential, but with the added benefit of including more people in the development
of the idea's front end - as well as its validation process.
The growing empowerment of the internet has created fantastic opportunities for collaboration. Imagine having your customers, suppliers and employees collaborate on your next great product or process improvement – this isn’t fantasy; it is here and it is now. For one, more-and-more clients want to have a say in how their products and services are being developed, priced and delivered. They are ready to tell you what they want in order to part with their money. Thru experiences, cultural diversity and in some cases expertise, these people are ready to help you make things better for them.
Step 1 – the serendipity of conversations spawns new ideas
Step 2 – thru voting and further collaboration ideas get refined into opportunities
Step 3 – opportunities get analyzed, justified and decided upon based on management-set thresholds
Step 4 – decisions turn into implemented projects that can be tracked throughout workflow - from idea submission to implementation
Step 5 – implemented project results = innovations
By taking things one step further and opening your process, these collaborators can help manage the front-end tasks around these new ideas – those tasks that your internal managers already have so little time for. Through self-organized participation, one can appreciate that a vast pool of self-motivated collaborators can access to much broader base of talent, resources, diversity and expertise – and with this greater resources lever, create response times and expediency that no one corporate entity could hope to match; resulting in market-ready products and accelerated time-to-market.
All the proven back-end rigor, idea processing functions, administrative features and comprehensive reporting from Idealink Sequential are integral to Idealink Open to complete the process loop.
