If You Believe That…

• People are your company’s biggest asset…

• Innovation is the key to your company’s success…

• Great ideas reside in the minds of your employees…

• Creativity can be jump started and sustained…

• Innovation is everyone’s responsibility – not just R&D’s…

• There must be a better way to move ideas through your “system”

…i-Bank is for you

For most organizations, the challenge of how to

catalyze, access, develop, process, evaluate, and

acknowledge the best ideas of their employees is a

difficult one.

Most companies don’t have a clue. People either

badger each other in elevators, curry favor in

meetings, or lobby for their ideas over lunch… but

ultimately the process of “moving robust ideas

through the system” is chaotic, undependable,

inefficient, nerve-wracking and downright

disempowering.

No wonder why so many people give up, keeping

their ideas to themselves,

never going much further than naming the

problem and complaining

about it to anyone who will listen.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Indeed, it is possible to tap into

the brainpower of your workforce

while creating an environment

conducive to the origination,

development and implementation of

powerful new business ideas.

i-Bank provides your

workforce with a simple, yet

robust, way to get their ideas

out of their heads and into the innovation

marketplace of your

organization.

And know this:

I-Bank it is not merely a

database to capture and

process ideas. It is an integrated package of high

tech and high touch services sequenced to

establish a fertile ground for filling your innovation

pipeline).

i-Bank helps your people feel good

about contributing ideas to grow the

business. It provides the safety, structure,

stimuli, and soulfulness most

people need to go beyond the status quo

and take personal responsibility for being a force for innovation – not

simply concede it to R&D or senior

leadership.

Bottom line, i-Bank takes the voo doo

out of your company’s idea

collection process. People know the

game that’s being played, what is

expected of them, how to contribute, how ideas will be

evaluated, who will be getting back to

them and where their idea is – at any

given time – in the “system.”

There is even an optional feature

that will allow people to earn

“Frequent Innovator

Points” and be rewarded for their various

contributions.

And because we

know that employees’ work-related

frustrations are often the ground from which

new ideas spring, we’ve even included

an online “Complaint Department,” a

feature that allows users to not only post their gripes, but their

solutions, as well.

And for those who want to

push the proverbial

envelope, i-Bank offers a

wide variety of quick-hitting,

creative thinking tools

and techniques to help users

generate truly breakthrough

ideas.

And i-Bank is not only for lone wolves

and closet geniuses. On the contrary, it’s

designed to foster collaboration and the appearance of a vital

community of fully engaged innovators – online, offline – all

the time.

In fact, i-Bank is not limited to your

workforce. It can be easily configured to

include your customers, vendors, suppliers,

retired employees, and anyone else on planet

Earth whose brainpower you want to

access.

i-Bank can be configured to be as topic-specific as you

wish. Ten minutes is all it takes to launch the “Idea

Drive” of your choice: be it process improvement,

new product development, cost savings, customer

service, marketing, benefits or whatever other

company challenges need attention.

Ultimately, i-Bank is more than a leading

edge product. It is also a leading edge

service, providing licensees with a

variety of real-time, LIVE, innovation sparking events

(including customized launch sessions) to

keep your employees on top of their game.

”i-Bank is an impressive idea development, collection and management solution. It has anticipated needs that I have not seen addressed by any other enterprise idea management tools. Not only does it provide tools that help employees generate ideas, it also utilizes a customizable questionnaire that helps employees fully think through their ideas before submitting them. Just as important, the developers have realized that employees are more likely to keep using an idea management tool if it is fun and engaging – and they have designed these elements into the application. I-Bank’s online learning library is a valuable and unique resource, drawn from the rich history of Idea Champions’ innovation practice – enabling employees to grow their creative thinking and problem-solving skills so they can generate and submit even higher-quality ideas to the system."
