Have you ever thought of crowdsourcing your innovation challenge?  Creating an Online Innovation Campaign is a great way to engage employees in ideating – in a collaborative, online environment.  Innovation Campaigns can also be used to engage customers or potential customers in your ideation process if you want to open the ideation challenge to the market.

Employees and customers can easily participate by posting new ideas, voting, commenting, and building on each other’s ideas.  Launch a campaign and watch the magic happen in real-time as they collectively help you come up with new ideas for products and services right before your eyes.

There are several platforms that are available to be used to create an innovation campaign – no need to reinvent the wheel.  A couple platforms that we like are Bright Idea and Brain Reactions.
