Challenge Module

All ideas are good ideas, the old adage goes. Of course, some ideas are better than others, and the value is relative to the importance of the problem or opportunity to which the idea presents a solution. Leaders are looking first for ideas that address the most crucial areas of need facing the company. Generally, a call for ideas around a particular area – a “Challenge” – is issued from senior executives to direct reports, who may or may not involve another level of reports in coming up with ideas. Rarely, if ever, are front-line employees, partners or customers - the people closest to the issues - involved in or even aware of a challenge.

The Challenge Module provides support for business leaders to identify, define, develop, and publish innovation challenges in support of organizational strategy and initiatives, a place for innovators to find those challenges and supporting information and submit new ideas, as well as a way for leaders to view ideas and engage with innovators.
