If You Believe That…
• People are your company’s biggest asset…
• Innovation is the key to your company’s success…
• Great ideas reside in the minds of your employees…
• Creativity can be jump started and sustained…
• Innovation is everyone’s responsibility – not just R&D’s…
• There must be a better way to move ideas through your “system”
…i-Bank is for you
For most organizations, the challenge of how to
catalyze, access, develop, process, evaluate, and
acknowledge the best ideas of their employees is a
difficult one.
Most companies don’t have a clue. People either
badger each other in elevators, curry favor in
meetings, or lobby for their ideas over lunch… but
ultimately the process of “moving robust ideas
through the system” is chaotic, undependable,
inefficient, nerve-wracking and downright
disempowering.
No wonder why so many people give up, keeping
their ideas to themselves,
never going much further than naming the
problem and complaining
about it to anyone who will listen.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Indeed, it is possible to tap into
the brainpower of your workforce
while creating an environment
conducive to the origination,
development and implementation of
powerful new business ideas.
i-Bank provides your
workforce with a simple, yet
robust, way to get their ideas
out of their heads and into the innovation
marketplace of your
organization.
And know this:
I-Bank it is not merely a
database to capture and
process ideas. It is an integrated package of high
tech and high touch services sequenced to
establish a fertile ground for filling your innovation
pipeline).
i-Bank helps your people feel good
about contributing ideas to grow the
business. It provides the safety, structure,
stimuli, and soulfulness most
people need to go beyond the status quo
and take personal responsibility for being a force for innovation – not
simply concede it to R&D or senior
leadership.
Bottom line, i-Bank takes the voo doo
out of your company’s idea
collection process. People know the
game that’s being played, what is
expected of them, how to contribute, how ideas will be
evaluated, who will be getting back to
them and where their idea is – at any
given time – in the “system.”
There is even an optional feature
that will allow people to earn
“Frequent Innovator
Points” and be rewarded for their various
contributions.
And because we
know that employees’ work-related
frustrations are often the ground from which
new ideas spring, we’ve even included
an online “Complaint Department,” a
feature that allows users to not only post their gripes, but their
solutions, as well.
And for those who want to
push the proverbial
envelope, i-Bank offers a
wide variety of quick-hitting,
creative thinking tools
and techniques to help users
generate truly breakthrough
ideas.
And i-Bank is not only for lone wolves
and closet geniuses. On the contrary, it’s
designed to foster collaboration and the appearance of a vital
community of fully engaged innovators – online, offline – all
the time.
In fact, i-Bank is not limited to your
workforce. It can be easily configured to
include your customers, vendors, suppliers,
retired employees, and anyone else on planet
Earth whose brainpower you want to
access.
i-Bank can be configured to be as topic-specific as you
wish. Ten minutes is all it takes to launch the “Idea
Drive” of your choice: be it process improvement,
new product development, cost savings, customer
service, marketing, benefits or whatever other
company challenges need attention.
Ultimately, i-Bank is more than a leading
edge product. It is also a leading edge
service, providing licensees with a
variety of real-time, LIVE, innovation sparking events
(including customized launch sessions) to
keep your employees on top of their game.

”i-Bank is an impressive idea development, collection and management solution. It has anticipated needs that I have not seen addressed by any other enterprise idea management tools. Not only does it provide tools that help employees generate ideas, it also utilizes a customizable questionnaire that helps employees fully think through their ideas before submitting them. Just as important, the developers have realized that employees are more likely to keep using an idea management tool if it is fun and engaging – and they have designed these elements into the application. I-Bank’s online learning library is a valuable and unique resource, drawn from the rich history of Idea Champions’ innovation practice – enabling employees to grow their creative thinking and problem-solving skills so they can generate and submit even higher-quality ideas to the system."
