More ideas or Better ideas?

Faster we move an idea to concept, higher is chance of getting concept into market, hence trajectory of growth.

Define the problem before the

brainstorming – keeping in mind we are looking for fewer ideas.

Enable staff to self assess ideas – this will improve

idea quality

Actively manage SN to refine ideas – use

crowdsourcing platforms to generate

feasible ideas

Motivate stake holders – like customers,

vendors etc.Success is a step away!!

1. Is sufficient resources allocated for transformational innovation?

2. Is the idea sourced high quality at front end of our innovation?

3. Is enough time to nurture those ideas into concept for market testing?
