Enables a Culture of Innovation
Rich Social Features And A Relatively Low Barrier Of Entry
Every organization of a certain size has had an experience where, after adopting a shiny new platform for some function, the novelty wears off. How can you stop your innovation management platform from going the same way? We suggest reviewing the options on a couple of factors:
Platforms must be simple to use, have clear workflows, and be easily navigable to see success in an organization. Anything with too many unclear features or a high barrier of entry may not make it past the first hurdle.
Providing methods for users to match up their progress and activity against others can keep people engaged and inspire others to match them.
Using methods like competition and gamification can keep your program self-sustaining: visibility around who’s contributing can foster a sense of pride and ownership. This can lay the foundation for a cultural shift where employees and members of the platform can be more aligned to company innovation goals and aims.
