Introduction to innovative idea management with KIROI
Idea management is an indispensable building block in modern companies for promoting sustainable innovation. It unfolds its full potential particularly in departments that focus on continuous improvement. With step 6 in conjunction with KIROI, customised innovation impulses can be developed and implemented for each department in a targeted manner. In this way, companies can not only release creative potential, but also strengthen the transfer of knowledge internally.
Idea management in the sixth step: utilising department-related innovation potential
Step 6 of idea management centres on the targeted development of ideas for your own department. This involves recognising and tackling individual challenges and opportunities with the help of digital tools such as KIROI. For example, marketing teams can use AI-supported tools to organise customer campaigns more efficiently. At the same time, training departments benefit from AI assistance for personalised training programmes. The IT department can also develop data-driven solutions for stable infrastructure processes.
This department-orientated focus allows specific requirements and potential to be addressed directly. As a result, employees are more closely involved in the innovation processes and receive targeted impetus for their daily work.
BEST PRACTICE with one customer (name hidden due to NDA contract) As part of step 6, a manufacturing company used KIROI to improve production planning through AI-supported simulations. This enabled the production control department to recognise bottlenecks at an early stage, which led to a significant increase in efficiency and accelerated the implementation of ideas in the workflow.
Examples from various departments for implementation
1 In the HR department, idea management enables the use of AI to better analyse application profiles and identify suitable candidates more quickly. This addresses the shortage of skilled labour.
2. the finance department can develop automation approaches to make routine tasks such as expense reports more efficient and reduce error rates using smart tools.
3. in customer service, innovative ideas, chatbots and AI-supported analysis tools help to process customer enquiries faster and increase customer satisfaction.
Practical tips for supporting innovation projects
In order to successfully organise idea management, it is advisable to be accompanied by experienced coaches who not only have technical knowledge, but also support cultural change. KIROI serves as a methodological framework that shows how AI can be integrated profitably into various company processes. It is important to actively involve employees, take their suggestions seriously and motivate them through transparent communication.
A tried and tested approach is the organised feedback round, in which ideas are discussed openly and improved together. This is how viable concepts emerge from initial impulses. In addition, structured evaluation criteria help to categorise ideas according to their relevance and feasibility.
BEST PRACTICE with one customer (name hidden due to NDA contract) supported the consultancy of a technology company in the implementation of digital innovation workshops. Thanks to the active support and use of KIROI, employees from many departments were able to channel their ideas and significantly increase the implementation rates.
Specific measures to promote idea management
- Introduction of digital platforms for collecting and evaluating ideas that complement KIROI so that employees can easily submit and develop their suggestions.
- Regular training on new technologies to increase acceptance of AI applications in idea management and equip teams with the necessary expertise.
- Establishment of cross-departmental innovation groups that exchange experiences in order to leverage creative synergies and overcome departmental boundaries.
Efficient idea management as a success factor
The targeted sixth step in idea management, in which each department develops customised and practical ideas, is an important lever for innovative companies. The integration of the KIROI system helps to maintain an overview and generate sustainable added value. In this way, a culture of innovation can be created that reacts flexibly to market requirements and promotes the potential of employees.
