Developed for mid-size organizations and divisions of large companies, Brightidea is designed to assist managers in all areas of Innovation with templates and workflows specifically designed for accelerating new product development, process improvement, intellectual property, information technology adoption, marketing strategy and business model innovation.

The Brightidea Platform includes the following capabilities:


Idea Management
  • Highly-configurable idea ranking engine allows managers to rapidly identify the most promising Innovations in an organization
  • Proprietary ranking-system technology can be implemented according to managerial needs and specific areas of opportunity such as unsolicited ideas from employees, customers and suppliers
  • Idea Management accelerates identification of viable concepts while ensuring non-viable proposals are discontinued early

Project Tracking
  • Flexible, phase-based tracking system enables efficient project management in the Innovation pipeline
  • Provides managers with visibility into all current projects and their progress
  • Project tracking ensures that on-going projects are strategically aligned, properly vetted at each step and stay on-track throughout the implementation process

Rewards & Recognition
  • Platform tracks individual contributions to the innovation program
  • Points are accumulated for selected activities and achievements.
  • Rewards & Recognition tracks redemption for gifts, awards or cash to ensure that key players in the Innovation process are recognized and proper records are maintained

Forecasting
  • Tightly-integrated financials capture and summarize the net financial impact of all Innovation related activities including time applied, out-of-pocket expenditures, implementation costs, rewards, cost-savings, and revenues
  • Innovation financials ensure that the real costs of ‘unstructured work’ are captured and that forecasted cash flows can be compared against actual cash flows

Top-Notch Analytics
  • Intuitive metrics and analytics make the Innovation process more visible and manageable
  • Configurable reports and activity dashboards ensure managers have the information they need to make informed decisions on managing the Innovation process

Institutional & Competitive Knowledge Archives
  • Weblogs allow participants to record emerging trends, competition and areas of opportunity in a secure, shared environment
  • Permanent, searchable archive stores a record of all news posts, research, ideas, projects, tasks and decisions
  • Reduces re-work when staff or roles change
  • Useful for locating origin of successful projects and documenting the decision process on why projects were continued/discontinued
