What is the importance and significance of idea management to an organization and how should organizations look into having this as a key cultural aspect and function in the organization.
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.
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.

Implementing this crowdsourcing approach can ignite employee innovation and improve the company through relevant ideas from those who know it best without significant cost. The approach has been shown to work through examples like a university crowdsourcing ideas from students and faculty.

Business School Type Thinking to Avoid in a Digital WorldIsman Tanuri
In today's fast paced and constantly changing world, disruption is happening at all times. The digital driven work environment needs a different mindset to traditional management thinking.
Often, our fallback to "best practices", "return on investment" and past achievements are holding us back from truly being innovative in fulfilling the needs of today's Customers.
This document summarizes key principles from Eric Ries' book The Lean Startup. It discusses how traditional business planning often fails because it creates products no one wants. The Lean Startup method teaches entrepreneurs to drive startups through a build-measure-learn process of validated learning via minimum viable products and constant experimentation. This allows startups to test hypotheses, learn quickly from failures, and pivot as needed to find product-market fit instead of persisting on an unsuccessful path. The document outlines Lean Startup techniques including experiments, the value and growth hypotheses, and using early adopters to refine products based on feedback.
How to get the most from an Innovation Programme in Your OrganisationBradley Pallister
Being innovative is not a skill that's easily learned.
In fact, companies big and small often struggle with encouraging innovation in their workplaces
Does that sound familiar to you?
If so, then an innovation programme may be all that lies between your company's struggles and a future that's filled with innovation and amazing new product launches.
The document discusses strategies for promoting innovation in organizations. It provides several key points:
1) Innovation requires an organizational culture that supports risk-taking and learning from failures. Employees must feel empowered and motivated to innovate.
2) Design thinking is a useful framework but has limitations if not connected to business realities. True innovation addresses real user needs and creates win-win solutions through collaboration.
3) Executive leadership that explicitly prioritizes, funds, and models innovative behavior is important for overcoming barriers like a risk-averse culture. Networks can spread new ideas by connecting diverse groups.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

7. Idea Management
Is not about finding the one big disruption that is
going to change the market.
It is about the process of generating, selecting
and execution of ideas.
8. NPD, Cost Saving, Collaborating
Idea Management is relevant for companies across public & private sectors and cross-
functionally, across geography and beyond the four walls of our organization:
• Engage a wide and diverse audience – employees, partners, clients, customers in product
development, iteration and feedback
• Make truly informed product decisions with voice of the customer, market informed data to inform
prioritization and decision making
• Continuous improvement through collaboration of all minds on ideas to reduce waste and increase
organisational effectiveness
• Engage a broader audience to help identify, understand and prioritize possible efficiency gains
• Crowd-source insight from across the organisation and beyond to customers, clients, partners and
suppliers
• Voice of the ‘customer’ insight through sales engagement, customer feedback

10. The focus of lean is the
elimination of wasteful
activity and using a
collection of Lean
Methodologies for
Training, managing,
development and
solving problems.
26. Take motivation from mistakes
Look outside for great ideas
Creative innovative work zones
Be the police, but dress like a cheerleader
27. At Toyota, more than 700,000 improvement ideas are implemented each year.
If each of these ideas save the company only $100, the savings become an
impressive $70,000,000
28. How are some
many ideas
implemented?
How do we plan
for all?
How will we get the
resources to
implement these
ideas?
How are the
ideas
prioritized?
How are the
ideas evaluated?
30. Walking and
Talking
Suggestion
Boxes
A proactive solution to solicit ideas from the
employees
Manager or Champions encourage ideas by asking
employees to improve certain aspects of business
Manager or Champions help the employees to
draft proposals or ideas
32. At Toyota, people are encouraged to come up with creative ideas for
their own work area or process, it is rare that an idea involves such
large scope that the individual cannot contribute to its
implementation. It is also rare that the suggestion is a complaint.
33. The ideas are implemented by the person who comes up with
it. They work with their supervisor or manager, who
coordinates the timing and resource to implement the idea.
34. When the creative idea is documented and submitted, the
idea is already almost implemented. There is certainly a
review process but this occurs at the lowest level possible, as
quickly as possible
