In many companies, ideas management has long been more than just a collection box for suggestions. It is about systematically promoting creativity and anchoring innovations in a sustainable way. KIROI Step 7 in particular shows how ideas management can be rethought. It is not just seen as a one-off action, but as a continuous process that involves all employees and is organised transparently. This creates a culture in which ideas do not remain in the dark, but are actively supported and implemented.
Ideas management as a culture of continuous development
The classic collection of ideas is no longer enough today. Companies need a structured approach that keeps suggestions alive and develops them further. In the automotive industry, many teams use moderated workshops to quickly turn ideas for increasing efficiency into concrete solutions. In the financial services industry, suggestions for improving customer processes are integrated directly into agile development teams. A large retail group uses digital platforms to transparently pool suggestions from numerous branches and quickly communicate regional innovations throughout the company.
This approach creates a culture of innovation that motivates employees and strengthens collaboration. Ideas are not only collected, but actively supported and further developed. This encourages commitment and ensures that ideas are actually implemented.
Practical examples from various industries
Idea management in the automotive industry
Workshops are held regularly in the automotive industry to collect ideas for increasing production efficiency. Employees contribute their experiences and develop solutions together. Moderated sessions ensure that all voices are heard and blockages are quickly recognised. The results are integrated directly into the production processes, leading to measurable improvements.
Idea management in the financial services industry
In the financial services industry, suggestions for improving customer processes are integrated into agile development teams. Employees contribute their ideas and work together to implement them. Through regular feedback loops, the suggestions are continuously improved and adapted to the needs of customers. This leads to greater customer satisfaction and stronger loyalty to the company.
Idea management in retail
A large retail group uses a digital platform to collect and bundle suggestions from numerous shops. The ideas are communicated transparently and implemented quickly. Regional innovations are shared company-wide, which leads to faster adaptation to local needs. Employees feel valued and are motivated to continue contributing ideas.
Idea management as support through transruption coaching
Transruption coaching supports companies in establishing idea management as a continuous process. Expert support helps to recognise blockages and open up new perspectives. In many projects, targeted workshops and close coaching are used to accelerate the implementation of suggestions for improvement. Employees are actively involved in the process and receive regular feedback.
