Innovation Planning
To support your building your crowdsourced innovation program and first campaign, we provide four Innovation Planning Workbooks found here (go to 'Workbooks & Guides').
Each workbook guides you through a key aspect of the innovation planning process. The frameworks outlined and questions will help you reach milestones to kick-start your crowdsourcing campaigns.
- Framing the Big Picture
- Team and Crowd Engagement
- Idea Management for Implementation
- Messaging and Communication
Configuring a Community
Your first step is to configure your community settings. What you allow or restrict at the community-wide level frames what options are available for all campaigns, which are customizable at their individual settings.
Be sure to review our Set-Up Guide for more detailed information.
The following resources will help you best prepare for success as you design and implement your community and campaigns.
- If you are enabling Single Sign-On, please review these details with the appropriate IT colleagues.
- Learn about Advance Settings & Configurations to better manage your workflow and crowd.
- Watch the How to Evaluate Ideas video, a one and half minute tutorial.
- Get familiar with IdeaScale’s Support Center. It has definitions and instructions for configuring each feature.
- Read Case Studies for inspiration from other innovators in the community of practice.
- Continue learning by signing up for some valuable Innovation Courses.
