Idea Management

What is Idea Management?

Idea Management is a systematic process for:
• Collecting Ideas
• Building Upon Ideas
• Classifying Ideas
• Prioritizing Ideas
• Storing Ideas
• Tracking Ideas From Start Through Implementation
• Reporting On Ideas

Ideas are the lifeblood of any organization. Without a constant stream of ideas for new products, productivity, quality, and process improvement, most organizations rapidly decline. However, few organizations practice idea management. Why? Because until now, there has not been an easy, effective way for all members of an organization to participate in continuous idea generation and development.
