Innovation projects

Based on the submitted evaluations for an idea, a classification is automatically suggested LINK Idea Portfolio - Classification of Ideas. This is visible in the list and portfolio view and in the detailed view of ideas.

For example, incremental ideas, or low-hanging fruits, are simple improvements with a large benefit that should be implemented quickly (few statuses and gates). Radical ideas, on the other hand, are more resource- and time-intensive and should therefore be worked out in more detail (more states and gates).

You have decided to implement an idea. Congratulations!

Go into implementation and initiate an innovation project.

1. Go into a campaign
2. Select the Ideas tab
3. Click on an idea
4. Create Project button, at the end of the evaluation area. 

If an idea is implemented, all existing data and information of an idea are transferred to a project. The idea automatically receives the status "Project".

The proposed classification can be modified manually. The "Incremental" classification provides for fewer statuses and gates (fast implementation), while the "Radical" classification provides for more statuses and gates (more checks and approvals and thus slower implementation). In addition, you can define a deadline per status by which this status is to be achieved.

In the Realization module you will find a company-wide and holistic visualization of all innovation projects including classification, progress and due dates.
