Idea management** is more than just collecting suggestions. KIROI step 7 in particular shows how important it is to unleash creative impulses throughout the organisation and implement them sustainably. This step is about not looking at innovation processes in isolation, but establishing them as part of the entire organisation. In this way, all departments can benefit from new ideas and work together on the future.
Idea management as a motor for company-wide innovation
The focus of KIROI step 7 is on the dissemination of ideas across departmental boundaries. A transparent feedback system promotes open dialogue and makes it possible to identify and remove obstacles at an early stage. Companies from different sectors use this step to strengthen their innovative power.
In mechanical engineering, moderated workshops facilitate communication between design, production and quality assurance. This allows product developments to be driven forward more quickly and sources of error to be reduced. In the software industry, the active involvement of development teams and support means that new features are better tailored to customer needs. Retailers, on the other hand, benefit from digital platforms that network shops and thus initiate creative sales campaigns or service improvements.
BEST PRACTICE with one customer (name hidden due to NDA contract) In a manufacturing company, a workshop concept was implemented with KIROI Step 7. This helped to identify obstacles to implementation in a structured manner and actively reduce them with the specialist departments involved. The result was a significantly accelerated implementation of innovations and a sustainable strengthening of the innovation culture.
KIROI step 7: Practical support for sustainable implementation
Many companies report that continuous support in the idea management process is essential. KIROI Step 7 offers methods and impulses that support and motivate those involved throughout the company. Teams often enter the collaboration with specific expectations, but are also looking for guidance on how ideas can be further developed and implemented in a targeted manner.
An example from HR development shows how new approaches to improving further training programmes have been developed through regular idea-sharing sessions with employees. Creativity was encouraged in a targeted manner and the results were directly implemented in practice. In sales, data-supported analyses helped to identify customer requirements more precisely and optimise advisory services. Productivity and quality can also be increased in the area of logistics through improved processes and digitalisation.
BEST PRACTICE with one customer (name hidden due to NDA contract) A medium-sized production facility utilised AI-based forecasting models from a sales department as part of KIROI Step 7. This innovation not only improved sales figures, but was also successfully transferred to warehouse management. As a result, processes were optimised and resources used more efficiently.
Impulses for a corporate culture that promotes innovation
An open communication culture is the basis for successful ideas management. Employees must feel that they are taken seriously and know how their suggestions will be treated. This builds trust and motivation.
In industry, teams report that regular feedback cycles improve collaboration. As a result, complex projects can be implemented more quickly and flexibly. In retail, the networking of branches supports the exchange of marketing ideas and customer service optimisations. In the technology sector, cross-departmental collaboration promotes the rapid adaptation of new software modules.
Unleashing ideas management - a holistic approach
KIROI step 7 shows that idea management is a dynamic process. It not only includes the collection of suggestions, but also accompanies the development through to company-wide implementation. This creates a culture of innovation that actively supports change and growth.
A structured process with clear responsibilities and regular communication is essential. Workshops, digital tools and targeted coaching strengthen collaboration and promote the transfer of knowledge. This results in solutions that advance the entire company.
Change management also plays a major role. Employees are prepared for change and learn how new approaches benefit them personally. This creates acceptance and supports positive development.
My analysis
Idea management** requires comprehensive support and an open culture in order to be effective within the company. KIROI Step 7 provides a structured framework for this, which in particular promotes the company-wide dissemination of innovations. The combination of transparent communication, active involvement of all teams and accompanying coaching often leads to a noticeable increase in innovative strength and employee satisfaction. Companies that implement this approach ensure that creative impulses are not lost, but are unleashed throughout the company.
