6. Integrated Idea Management

“The best way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas.” – Linus Pauling
We believe in making it as simple as possible for
employees to submit and collaborate on ideas.
We call our approach integrated idea management.
Rather than asking employees to use and learn ‘yet
another app’ we let them collaborate on ideas using the
tools they’re already using everyday.
All these ideas are then fed into the Sideways 6 platform,
where teams are able to manage them at scale.
The Sideways 6 platform makes it easy to find the best
ideas quickly and communicate back to employees on
the progress of their idea.
This could be on their company’s social network.
Places like Workplace by Facebook, Microsoft
Yammer and Slack. It could even be via email,
SMS, forms and intranets.
