Idea management is an important part of management in the 21st. century. Watch this presentation to see how you can enhance your competitveness by implementing idea managment and how Ideas2benefit software can support your business.
An extract from one of my lectures on idea management systems. The content of these slides is based both on current research and insights from companies I collaborated with.
BrightSpark is an idea management system created by Component Workshop that allows employees and customers to submit innovative ideas and provide feedback. It tracks all ideas, feedback, and votes to ensure details are not lost. Ideas progress through a four step cycle from submission to implementation. BrightSpark offers customization and multiple campaign types to align ideas with business strategies. Component Workshop provides ongoing support to help customers maximize the benefits of BrightSpark.
Idea management is the process of facilitating ideation from an organizational perspective. It involves acquiring, creating, and evolving new ideas. Good idea management turns good ideas into good business by selecting the best options to commercialize the best ideas. Key aspects of idea management include designing idea artifacts to manage explicit ideas, organizing ideas into idea portfolios, and using a staged development process to determine which ideas to commit resources to commercializing.
Idea management is the process of receiving, prioritizing, and implementing ideas from employees and customers to improve the business. It involves collecting ideas through various channels, like suggestion boxes or idea management software. The ideas are then sorted by priority and some may be implemented. However, many companies fail to have a clear strategy for managing ideas, which can lead to dissatisfaction if ideas are collected but not acted on. If a company decides to implement idea management, it should define the scope of ideas sought, assign a group to review submissions and recommend ideas, and recognize employees whose ideas are selected.

You Can Hack That: How to Use Hackathons to Solve Your Toughest ChallengesBooz Allen Hamilton
“Hackathon” has become a trendy word in today’s business vernacular, and for good reason. The word “hackathon” comes from both “hack” and “marathon.” If you think of a “hack” as a creative solution and “marathon” as a continuous, often competitive event, you’re at the heart of what a hackathon is about. Hackathons enable creative problem solving through an innovative and often competitive structure that engages stakeholders to come up with unconventional solutions to pressing challenges. Hackathons can be used to develop new processes, products, ways of thinking, or ways of engaging stakeholders and partners, with benefits ranging from solving tough problems to broader cultural and organizational improvements.
This playbook was designed to make hackathons accessible to everyone. That means not only can all kinds of organizations benefit from hackathons, but that all kinds of employees inside those groups—executives, project managers, designers, or engineers—should participate and can benefit, too. Use this playbook as a reference and allow the best practices we outline to guide you in designing a hackathon structure that works for you and enables your organization to achieve its desired outcomes. Give yourself anywhere from six weeks to a few months to plan your hackathon, depending on the components, approach, number of participants, and desired outcomes.

Design thinking process is a creative problem solving approach that emphasizes empathy, collaboration, and experimentation to create innovative solutions.
Reimagine your enterprise: Make Human Centered Design the Heart of Your Digit...Kenneth Kwan
Companies in every industry are trying to find new sources of value
through digital technology. But most of their efforts have not translated
into enough market impact and growth. They need something bolder
and more disruptive, but still very simple. They need reimagination.
Reimagination means putting the user at the center of everything
your company does — strategy, product development, operations,
marketing, sales, and customer service. It means using the full power
of digital media and technology to build empathy with that user, and
weaving that relationship into the fabric of your company. This practice
is known as “human centered design” (HCD): the reshaping of an entire
enterprise and its capabilities system around the customer or user
experience.
HCD represents a new way of life for business. It evokes many of the
attributes of a startup — creativity, speed, bias for action, flexibility
with risk, and radical collaboration. To achieve this entrepreneurial
vigor in your company, you may have to consciously break down long
established internal barriers. You must embrace five basic principles:
Embed human centered design in everything you do, build brand value
holistically, design for three years out (but build for today), stand up
new structures and teams, and nurture your existing digital culture.
Outcome Engineering 101: Five Guidelines to Delivering Products that Create I...Cognizant
Outcome engineering is a creative process that marries technological perspective with design thinking to ensure products deliver desired business outcomes. The document provides 5 guidelines for outcome-oriented product development: 1) Reframe how designers and engineers work together from the start, 2) Make innovation practical through user empathy, 3) Iteratively improve products through small changes, 4) Validate ideas quickly with prototyping, and 5) Motivate teams through gamification by tying rewards to impact. The goal is to anticipate customer needs, bring out the best in design and technology, and continually refine products through testing to gain a competitive edge.
Knowledge as an asset has not lost momentum, in fact organizations still need proper KM tools and methods in order to reduce the risk of knowledge loss, improve collaboration, standardize best practices and so on. Problem begins when we try to solve this issues with a KM vision that was meant for a 90s-type business and not for today’s exponential organizations
This presentation showcases a proven method for KM for modern organizations developed by Wakiy, a knowledge management consultancy firm based in Lima, Perú.
The document discusses how to plan and run a successful business hackathon to drive innovation, collaboration, and performance improvements within an organization, providing an agenda and activities for ideating, designing, and selecting solutions to address business problems, and examples of hackathon successes in generating ideas and funded projects.
This document discusses design thinking as a human-centered approach to innovation that integrates user needs, technology possibilities, and business requirements. It provides three key principles of design thinking: 1) conceptualizing ideas and testing solutions, 2) focusing on end users, and 3) staying adaptable through reinvention. Design thinking introduces empathy and creativity into the innovation process. It needs to be embraced by the whole organization through training and by shortening the gap between product design and marketing teams. Innovation requires considering emerging technologies, business processes, and planning purposefully to have impact for clients rather than just doing something cool. It allows industries to better understand changing consumer needs in a rapidly evolving technology landscape.
The document describes IDEAL, a 7-step business architecture model that uses frameworks like the Baldrige criteria and Blue Ocean strategy tools to help organizations plan, design, and assess their performance through a virtual conference room and coaching sessions. It provides samples of the types of questions asked in each step to help organizations understand customer perceptions, opportunities for improvement, and develop a strategy for success. The process can also incorporate reengineering and problem-solving tools to help define tactics and processes.
The document outlines an agenda for a SWOT analysis meeting estimated to take 3 hours. The agenda includes an overview of SWOT, findings from the analysis, potential solutions, developing a roadmap, scoring solutions, revisiting the roadmap, and discussing next steps. Major topics to be analyzed include sales, corporate culture, products/services, communications, and project management. Potential solutions are grouped into categories like development, sales, corporate improvements, products, services, and support.
Design thinking provides several advantages for businesses:
- It helps solve complex problems through encouraging innovative thinking and ensuring solutions meet objectives.
- By prototyping ideas early with users, it reduces risks and costs of failures while giving confidence in successful product launches.
- Its emphasis on problem-solving can significantly reduce time-to-market for new products and services.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.
