Idea Drop

Capture and action the best ideas from your people.

Use the brightest ideas from your people to sharpen and grow your business faster. Forget complex spreadsheets, dated intranets and long-winded annual surveys. Give them a beautiful, lightweight experience that they’ll love.

Share your problems to find solutions faster.

Open up commercial or operational challenges to a wider group. Give guidance, set deadlines and offer up rewards. Then watch as solutions and ideas roll in from teams, departments and locations across your business.

Launch a challenge anywhere. Describe it, enrich it with attachments or links and hit ‘create’. You’ll be gathering helpful ideas and input from your colleagues within minutes.

Choose who you invite. You can hand-pick individuals, selected teams or the entire organisation. Only those you select can join in.

Broadcast it. Issue push-notifications, customised email alerts and posts into the feed, to make sure everyone knows you’re looking for help.

Set prizes, rewards and deadlines. To encourage a flow of great ideas faster, you can easily add rewards or prizes to your challenge and also set deadlines.

Track, analyse and review ideas. With in-built smart filtering tools, you can quickly track, monitor and review the ideas your team are posting and start responding and implementing them right away. Data junkie? Pull it out a report into a .csv to crunch it, print it or share it offline.

Uncover, curate and execute brilliant ideas.

Idea Drop takes care of the hard work, automatically ranking and scoring every idea in real-time based on smart social signals from your community. The result? We cut through the clutter to continuously deliver you the most promising ideas that can really impact your business.

Smart filters. The suite of powerful filtering tools lets everyone cut and slice the data to uncover trends, reveal what matters to them and make quicker, data-driven decisions.

Get a 360º perspective on every idea. Through lightweight, intuitive social actions like @mentions, comments, favourites and link sharing, colleagues across your business can quickly collaborate. Social collaboration will help you to gauge and measure the potential impact of different ideas.

Automatically bubble up the best ideas. By tracking the actions of every user, Idea Drop intelligently and automatically ranks, scores and prioritises every idea, always showing you those that have the greatest level of social validation. By crowdsourcing collective sentiment, it’s easier to see which ideas are most likely to deliver a fast, high-speed impact on P&L.

Notifications and email alerts. Enable your teams to stay in-tune with the innovation process with push notifications and email alerts. Set and control the frequency and type of notifications.

Profiles and innovation scores. Enable your teams to connect, share and showcase with colleagues – great for teams in different offices or locations. And measure the contribution of each team member with an innovation score – an aggregated, weekly-updating metric based on their participation within the platform. You can even create innovation-based KPIs from the scores.
